The report shown above (taken from the project *Lesson 10*) compares the current forecast to the Sales Forecast (an external row). The ***Comparison***drop-down menus allow you to select if you want to compare history or a forecast (forecast, baseline or statistical) and the comparison series.

The ***Periods to consider*** section allows you to select how many time periods to monitor). Select **User-defined** to activate the spinners below the date range. Use the spinners to select the starting and ending historic periods. Selecting “1” or “0” will select the most recent historic period, “-1” will select the previous historic period and so on. As you change the spinners, the date above will update to reflect the actual starting and ending periods selected. Check *Cumulative* if you want to look at the total across the specified historical periods.
