Re: Parameter Filer
Yep, so basically you would join your data 1=1 so that it looks like this:
Then in your card you have your two values:
`data` and `comparison data`
Users select a year and a comparison year and the data for each will be displayed. I would suggest setting default values for each, for example: 2022 vs 2023 and then from there allow users to change the dates.
Re: Parameter Filer
@Anna_Yu This sounds like a good use case for Variables. I'd suggest creating two variables to select the years you want to compare. Here are some sample beast modes you could use with these variables:
Year 1 Total:
sum(case when YEAR(`Date`) = `Year 1` then `Amount` else 0 end)
Year 2 Total:
sum(case when YEAR(`Date`) = `Year 2` then `Amount` else 0 end)
Variance:
sum(case when YEAR(`Date`) = `Year 1` then `Amount` else 0 end) - sum(case when YEAR(`Date`) = `Year 2` then `Amount` else 0 end)
% Variance:
(sum(case when YEAR(`Date`) = `Year 1` then `Amount` else 0 end) - sum(case when YEAR(`Date`) = `Year 2` then `Amount` else 0 end)) / sum(case when YEAR(`Date`) = `Year 2` then `Amount` else 0 end)

Re: Connect DomoStats Across Instances
I use the Dataset Copy Connector to copy the DomoStats datasets from my "child" instances to my "main" instance and then append them together in an ETL in my main instance. That might be a solution for you in the meantime.
