Comparing Sandbox Data to Other Data

You can compare sandbox data against the base view data or the data in other sandboxes in several ways.

For example:

  • Create an ad hoc grid where you put the versions adjacent to each other in the ad hoc grid. For example, to compare the product revenue for Oct, FY15 in MySandbox1 and MySandbox2 against the base data, you could put these dimension members in the columns and rows:

    Note:

    When you compare data in an ad hoc grid, and version members are on rows or columns, you can change only the base version data. You can't change the data in sandbox versions. To learn more about ad hoc grids, see Using Ad Hoc for Data Entry and Analysis.

  • View a side-by-side comparison of sandbox data and base data in a dashboard. Just drag the same form into the dashboard multiple times, and then select to show sandbox data or base data for each instance.
