There are two types of Comparison in-cell charts that you can use within your report:

Indicator comparison chart: This shows the current performance with an indicator icon for comparison to a defined baseline value (e.g. Budget, Forecast).

Integrated variance chart: This is an overlay chart used to show current performance, with integrated variances to prior periods.

This dialog is used to format any Comparison In-Cell Charts in your report. For details about how to invoke the dialog, see In-Cell Chart Designer.
