Visualise YoY MoM WoW differences without any calculations

With the introduction of the new Named Grouping feature (see this article), it is easy to configure the report visualizations to create dynamic % calculations and visualize the changes.

It is also possible to give the viewer the choice to select the interval size and understand what WoW (week-on-week), MoM (month-on-month), yearly YoY, daily, or quarterly changes are.

There is also an option to add a measure choice, so the user can also move between different comparison KPIs  metrics.

In this demo - we will keep it simple and configure just the interval switch.

• In the Report's Data Model (Data Sources button) - go to the Groupings tab.
• Add a Grouping Choice.
• Select your date field and create multiple intervals: on the pill drop-down button pick an interval size (day, week, month, quarter, year) and add all the choices relevant for the report

• Add a Bar view and select the Grouping as a Split axis choice.
• Select a measure in the usual way, by dragging the measure field to the measure 'shelf' or by picking  a field from the drop-down (here [Gross Revenue]).
• From the Bar Label menu - pick the option to show difference (either the value or % change)
• Devices view - select the field filters in the usual way and make sure to expose those named Groupings and Measure choices that will be relevant for your viewer's interaction.

Optional: Adding a Pivot view can complement the Bar visualisation - it also supports Named Grouping and Measures as split and value fields and creates a responsive crosstable.

Add a Pivot Differences row or column, optionally with a total row/column as well, in case you are showing an additional split (here, shop [Type]).

The Date Grouping provides four interval choices that instantly update the Bar and Pivot differences calculation.
