An overview for calculating PoP data
What is Period-over-Period reporting?
The period-over-period analysis (PoP) compares the data in the date ranges selected to the same period of time in the past. For example, if your date ranges are Aug 1-31 the period-over-period analysis would be comparing data that ran July 1-31 (the previous 31 days)

How is PoP calculated?
How to calculate: data for current date range- data for previous date range= data difference take the (data difference/ data for previous date range}}x 100 = {{PoP %
Example: the user is running a report for the current month and how the PoP number will display on the impression box
This month = 115 impressions
Last month = 110 impressions
-
Subtract this month's total impressions from last month's total impressions numbers from this year's.
-
115- 110 = 5
-
-
Divide the difference from last month's total impressions
-
5/110 = .045
-
-
Multiply by 100 to get the final percentage.
-
.045 x 100 = 4.5 %
-
-
A green (positive) 4.5% increase PoP would show under impressions for this example
