Trend Analysis

Similar to the waterfall analysis, trend analysis is also configured in the Comparison Options tab when you create or edit a table or graph.

Trend analysis lets you select the number of previous archived versions of the measures to include in the table or graph.

For example, in trend analysis, if the plan was archived twice a week for the past two weeks, you can select the previous 4 archives to view. For the waterfall analysis, you can only view two archives: those created a week ago, and two weeks ago.

If the Automatically display trend analysis check box isn't selected on the Comparison Options tab, click the Analysis icon on the toolbar of the table or graph, and select Trend Analysis. The trend analysis table or graph opens in a new tab.
