Comparing date ranges

You can control the time periods for the data that Benchmark displays, allowing you to compare data from two different days, weeks, months, or quarters.

1. To select the period of data you want to display, use the options on the right. To show the data that has accumulated since midnight, select Today.
   
   By default, the last period of time for which data is fully available displays.
2. Use the two date range boxes to select which date range you are applying. Date Range A is the default selection used by all modules.
   1. Click Date Range A (Global Date). Then, click the date period that you want to display. You can also zoom in or out to select a specific date range; click the plus or minus magnifying glass icons. You can scroll to the start and end of the period that is covered using the scroll bar at the bottom of the calendar.
   2. To compare two date periods, use Date Range B (Compare Date). Click Date Range B (Compare Date) to select it. Then, click above the date period you want to display.
   3. To automatically set Date Range B (Compare Date) to the same time period for the year prior to Date Range A (Global Date), click Previous year comparison.
