Change Value Options > Value
Lets you specify whether the degree of change in your chart is represented as a percentage (default) or a change in the specific value.
Change Value Options > Data

| Last 2 Values | The difference between the last two values in your DataSet is used. |
| Last and X Periods Ago | The difference between the last value and the specified number of date grain periods as determined from your DataSet. For example, if your DataSet was broken down by week, and you entered 3 in the Periods Ago field, your change value would be the difference between the last value in the DataSet and the value for three weeks ago. |
| Last Target Value and Last Value | The difference between the last value in your Gauge Values column and the last value in your Target Values column. Note that the field for applying a target values column appears only when you click Tooltips in the toolbar at the top of Analyzer. |
| Penultimate Target Value and Penultimate Value | The difference between the second-to-last value in your Gauge Values column and the second-to-last value in your Target Values column. Note that the field for applying a target values column appears only when you click Tooltips in the toolbar at the top of Analyzer. |
Change Value Options > Periods Ago
Lets you specify the number of past date grain periods to use in your calculation when Last and X Periods Ago is selected in the Change Value Options > Data menu.
For example, if your DataSet was broken down by week, and you entered 3 in the Periods Ago field, your change value would be the difference between the last value in the DataSet and the value for three weeks ago.

Change Value Options > Color Indicator Only
When checked, only the indicator symbol will take on the color specified in Change Value Options > Positive Color or Change Value Options > Negative Color . The change value itself will appear dark gray.
Change Value Options > Reverse Color Direction
When checked, positive values are shown using the color you have selected in the Change Value Options > Negative Color menu, and negative values are shown using the color you have selected in the Change Value Options > Positive Color menu.
