One of the best feature of Google Analytics is the ability to compare trends over different time periods. Now after I installed Silcverlight last week this new function poped up on my dashboard.
In now have a small button saying 'Compare to' and then the possibility to imput another date range.

HOWEVER, this is what the buttons imply to me. they dont work and seem to be greyed out. Why is this? Are the buttons ready but is the backend still being developed. Please get this feature running it will be a great plus!

Fastmetric,

Comparing date-ranges should only work when you are actually in a report (And it might not work for all of them; I know there is some problem with 'visitors'). In the dashboard 'compare to' is greyed out becasue you can not compare all the reports on your dashboard to another date range.

Might be a nice feature though: To be able to set a compare too for the enitre system and then browse through all your reports.

Hope this helped.

MS Gatineau does offer some good features, their error handeling does seem 'off' at times though!
