In most cross table runs, PowerSource will do the math for you. This functionality is called benchmarking. In order to add a benchmark to a cross table run:
- Select the desired variables in the rows, columns and filters
- Go to the calculations tab and the “Benchmark” menu
- Enable benchmark calculations
- Select the calculation type (the default is units)
- Use the drop down to identify if the benchmark will be between rows or columns
- Identify the comparison column
- Toggle the comparison behavior
- Leave comparison columns will show the values in the calculation as well as the result while hide comparison columns will only show the resulting difference
- Select where the comparison value will be shown
