1. If the Calendar is in single-page view, press the 'Switch to Range/Comparison' button to switch to double-page display.

 

2. If the Calendar is currently in 'Range' mode (indicated by an arrow symbol between the left and right calendar pages), press the 'Switch to Comparison Mode' button, or click the arrow symbol to switch to 'Date Comparison' mode.

 

3. (Optional) To switch the Calendar from displaying a single month to displaying the entire year, press the 'Switch to Year View' button.

4. Press the 'Last Year'/'Last Month' buttons and 'Next Year'/'Next Month' buttons to display the appropriate calendar pages for the comparison that you wish to make.

 

5. Select a date range to compare on the left page of the Calendar. You can select a day, week, or month, depending on the how the Calendar has been configured.

The initial selection that you make will be mirrored on the right page of the Calendar, but you can change this in the next step.

In a 'Month View' calendar, click to select a day or week, or click the name of the month at the top of the calendar to select the entire month. In a 'Year View' calendar, click to select a month, or click the name of the year at the top of the calendar to select the entire year. Ctrl-click to select discontiguous dates.

6. Select a date range to compare on the right page of the Calendar. You can select a day, week, or month, depending on the how the Calendar has been configured. Ctrl-click to select discontiguous dates.

7. Press the 'Apply' button to submit your selection.

The date ranges that you select are used to generate comparisons in all Charts and Crosstabs that are based on the same Data Block.
