Comparing Trends

The rule compares series trend from the source with the specified series trend.

NOTE. The validation rule is available if data source is time series database or standard cube with calendar dimension.

To set up the rule:

  1. Set general parameters of the rule.

  2. Determine values of attributes used to calculate trend for comparison. Use the Compare with breadcrumb. Principles of work with breadcrumb are the same as for breadcrumb in series tree.

Thus, trends of two series are compared, if:

  1. Calendar frequency of time series matches.

  2. Values of time series mandatory attributes match, except values of all attributes determined in the Compare with navigation chain.
