Compare time periods for multiple metrics at once

Hi,

Currently the metric for which you want to compare multiple time periods and create the Percent Change metric needs to be in the column header (cfr next screenshot).

As a consequence you'll need to recreate multiple Percent Change metrics.

I would like to be able to add just one column 'Percent Change' in the next table:1378968_pastedImage_1.png

This would save us a lot of time.

Thanks in advance,

Sarah

The idea can be ignored. Instead of creating calculated metrics and putting it left, I should have dragged the (underlying) segments over there,and the metric unique visitors at the top. In that case the Percent Change can be calculated, and I have my desired result.

Hi Sarah,

This idea is still needed! In your case the metrics are very similar: you're looking for the number of unique visitors who viewed your 5 different types of pages/do the 5 types of activities.

But when the metrics are completely different- there is no workaround. I'm currently having problems with the table below. The 'compare time periods' option is unavailable.

If you have any inputs for a solution- they'd be much appreciated
