Hi Casimir, @Casimir_Rob, Thank you for reaching out to us! I would like to clarify a few points to help me assist you better: > “Currently, it’s not possible to have date columns.” Each row of the Metric Sheet consists of side-by-side cells to demonstrate the metric for each month/year. Could you please elaborate on what you mean by this statement? > A (%) change comparison to the previous period in the metrics sheet. Could you please clarify which “previous period” you would like to compare to?" Looking forward to hearing from you! ---

Hi Daphne, as you can see here: [Period-over-Period Comparison | Holistics Docs](https://docs.holistics.io/docs/reporting/period-over-period#important-notes) the feature is not supported in the metrics sheet ---

@Casimir_Rob Hi Casimir, Thank you for getting back to me! I apologize for any confusion. We have acknowledged the absence of PoP in the metrics sheet. I was just hoping to clarify what you expect the PoP in the metrics sheet to look like. This way, I can note down your request in our backlog to avoid misalignment when we implement the feature later on. Really appreciate any further input from you, thank you! ---

Hi @Casimir_Rob Our **AQL-based Period-over-Period Comparison feature** can help solve your use case above and more: - Apply period comparisons in metric sheet. - Apply comparisons to individual measures of your choice, rather than to all measures in a visualization. - Compare multiple periods simultaneously. - Applying conditional formatting and custom styling. - Set data alerts on PoP measures. You can learn more about the new feature here: [Period-over-Period Comparison](https://docs.holistics.io/docs/period-comparison) [https://cdn.holistics.io/product/reporting-aqlpopdemo-20250203-577.mp4](https://cdn.holistics.io/product/reporting-aqlpopdemo-20250203-577.mp4) Thank you for your patience and support all this time 🙏
