Change guide
What moved between two periods, and by how much.
Fields
| Field well | What to put in it |
|---|---|
| Category | The rows, such as region or product. |
| Start value | The earlier value, such as last year. |
| End value | The later value, such as this year. |
| Target (Pro) | For the bullet chart. Without it, the start value is the target. |
Set it up
- Add Change to the report page (see Install the visuals) and drag in the fields above.
- Rename the two measures in the visual, for example to “2025” and “2026”. The names are used in the legend and the slope headers.
- In Format › Layout, pick the chart and the sort order.
- In Labels, show the change, the end value or both, as a difference or a percent change.
- In Highlight, choose which rows stand out: biggest change, biggest rise, biggest fall or a category by name, and how many.
In the report
- Tooltips show both values and the change.
- Click a row to filter the rest of the report, Ctrl+click for several, right-click for the context menu.
- Arrow keys move between rows, Enter selects and Escape clears.
- It follows the report’s light or dark background, high-contrast mode, number format and language (English and Norwegian included).
Pro features
- Bullet chart: actual against target
- Slope chart, by rank or by value
Pro features need a licence key for Change or Everything, or a 14-day trial key. Without a valid key, a bullet chart is drawn as a lollipop and a slope chart as a dumbbell, with a short notice above the chart and a “Try Pro free” button. Everything else keeps working. See Add your licence key.
