Special Features

  • Your choice of breakdown mode determines the analysis approach for compared data groups.
  • The auto-select feature uses the active sorting, measurement, and filtering settings in a categorical chart to pick the top categories on top of the chart.
  • You can also shift-click on a record group as an alternative shortcut to select for comparison.

Constraints

  • You can compare up to five selections. Keshif uses distinguishable colors to show trends across different groups. Comparisons using too many colors is harder to perceive and analyze. This limit helps to ensure effective perception and analysis of data.
  • You can only compare data groups within a single attribute. For example, you can compare people in different age groups, or different cities. You cannot compare an age group vs. a city group.
  • Keshif disables highlight selections in data attributes that aren't being compared to ensure all selections are meaningful and comparable.
  • You cannot make selections when using Adjust or Capture dashboard modes.
