Introduction
In addition to being able to pull statistics for a set timeframe, the Main Report has a 'Compare Options' feature which allows you to compare metrics for two timeframes! This is great if you want to compare things like Campaign performance for this month compared to last month or Conversion Rates per Targeted Domain between two different weeks.
If you would like to view a report without comparing two timeframes, please learn more about our Main Report here.

Each metric will have several available columns to view.
Default view will only show '1st' and '2nd' columns for each, other than Cost. Cost will also show 'Diff' and 'Diff. %', which represents the numerical and percentage differences between the 1st and 2nd timeframes.
Both 'Diff' and 'Diff %' can be added to all other metrics.
Hover to the left of the '1st' or '2nd' column headers so that a drop down arrow appears.
