The Three Period Forecast Comparison allows you to compare two datasets to the 30/60/90 dataset. At a glance you will be able to see detailed variances between each comparative dataset and the 30/60/90 Dataset, by quarter, broken down into periods.
This report must be configured in the Report Builder prior to running for the first time. However, this report shares the same configuration as the Owner by Period and Owner by Total reports, so if you have already configured either one of those reports, you won't need to configure this report.
