Add comparison adds additional data series to your chart/table for the given question. By default, the added series displays data from the same Quest and question. You may also add comparisons to other quests and/or questions. Using Filters, you may also do comparisons across e.g. different periods of time, different departments, countries, or even the language version used when responding.
