Very often I want to compare the level of a series at some time with an earlier date. For example, I often write sentences such as: "Housing prices are now X per cent higher than in january 2017". But to find that number I typically have to use the @element function. for example:
Code: Select all
@elem(pbol_en_sa,"2017m10")/@elem(pbol_en_sa,"2017m01")-1
It would be nice if I could just hold in the CTRL button to mark two different cells in the spreadsheet view and then this statistic would be shown in the status bar as a part of live statistics.
Or maybe there is another and easier way to do this operation?
