How Period Comparison Analytics Work in DashAI
DashAI makes comparative analytics effortless. Here's what sets our time-based reporting apart.
Automatic Time Range Detection
DashAI understands natural language time references. Say "comparative", "last period comparison", or "this period comparison vs previous" and the AI knows exactly what data to fetch. No date pickers, no manual configuration—just describe the time frame you need.
Period-Over-Period Comparisons
Compare any period comparison to its previous period with a simple question. See percentage changes, trend direction, and absolute differences instantly. DashAI automatically aligns time periods correctly, even accounting for different numbers of days where applicable.
Real-Time Data Updates
Your period comparison analytics update in real-time as new orders come in. Whether you're checking comparative sales in the morning or at midnight, you're always seeing the most current data. No waiting for batch updates or scheduled syncs.
Smart Time Granularity
DashAI automatically chooses the right granularity for your period comparison charts. Period Comparison trends show appropriate intervals, making patterns easy to spot. You can also ask for specific breakdowns like hourly, daily, or weekly within your chosen time frame.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about period comparison analytics in DashAI.
How do I create a period comparison report in DashAI?
Simply type a question that includes "comparative" or "this period comparison". For example: "What were my comparative sales?" or "Show me comparative revenue by product". DashAI understands these natural time references and automatically filters your data to the correct period comparison.
Can I compare this period comparison to the previous period comparison?
Absolutely. Just include "compared to last period comparison" or "vs previous period comparison" in your query. DashAI will show both periods side by side with percentage change calculations. This works for any metric—revenue, orders, customers, products, and more.
How current is the period comparison data?
DashAI uses real-time webhooks to sync your Shopify data. Orders placed moments ago appear in your period comparison reports immediately. There's no delay or batch processing—when something happens in your store, it's reflected in DashAI right away.
Can I save my period comparison report to a dashboard?
Yes. Any query you create can be saved as a widget on your custom dashboard. The period comparison filter becomes a dynamic part of the widget, automatically updating as time progresses. Your "comparative sales" widget always shows the current period comparison's data without any manual updates needed.
