Set up a Comparison page to compare regions or products
Anyone who can edit the dashboard · Updated 8 Nov 2026
A Comparison page puts a column's values side by side, for example two regions, products or teams, with the leader marked. Readers can change what is compared while viewing. Anyone who can edit the dashboard can set one up in the dashboard editor.
Add a Comparison page and open its settings
- Add one with Add → Page → Comparison, or switch an existing page's structure to Comparison.
- Open Design → Format → Comparison settings…, or click the compare bar on the canvas. The Comparison panel opens.
- Choose the settings below.
Comparison page settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Starting view → Preset comparison | You choose what readers see first. Set Compare by (a field, grouped into Suggested and All fields) and Default subjects (up to 4). Readers can change it while viewing, but their choice isn't saved. |
| Starting view → Viewer chooses | The page opens with a Compare button, and each reader picks the field and subjects themselves. |
| Fields viewers can compare | The fields readers are allowed to pick. |
Default subjects start as the top 2 values by the page's main metric. If fewer than two values qualify, the page opens as Viewer chooses.
How readers change a comparison
- Click Compare to open the dialog ("Pick a field, then the subjects to put side by side").
- Choose a Field.
- Choose up to 4 Subjects.
- Click Compare.
Charts that can't be compared are hidden. The panel warns you, for example: "2 chart(s) on this page can’t be compared and will be hidden." See Which charts work on a comparison page.
Limits for comparison pages

- Comparison settings… only shows when the table has fields that can be compared.
