Workspace "Compare" columns with more flexibility

I currently love and use the "Compare Time Periods" option frequently, but it only works in certain situations (for instance, it isn't an option if I have "days" as a dimension in the report), and I can't drag in Time Periods I've already created. I frequently want that sort of "compare" functionality on all sorts of different columns.

What I would love is to always be able to create a column that compares two other columns in the table. Summary change is nice but not if you have a lot of items in the report to compare. Quick calculated metrics and such are nice but don't give you flexibility with time periods.

This would save so much time and duplication being able to update the comparison date or use rolling dates for comparisons and have the % difference update. We want to compare monthly data against the previous year. We have 12 months, so that means duplicating the panels 11x and adding in comparison dates for that, but then having to update those each year, as you can't use rolling dates for date comparison and % change.

 

Adobe this is a much needed tool, and something you can easily do in Google Analytics. Please add this to your future enhancements.
