# Compare to Other
When distributing reports or for data analysis, comparing a subset of your data is a helpful comparison measurement.\
\
To use comparisons in Snapshot Reports please follow these steps:
1. Click **Reports** then **Snapshot**. Choose your survey from the dropdown list in the top left of the page.
2. Click the **Filters** button then select a demographic filter. If you want to compare against the overall response count, then a filter is not necessary.\
3. Click **Comparisons**, then check Other. Select a survey from the dropdown. You can compare to the current survey or a previous period survey (if available). Next, click **Filter** and choose a comparison group. Lastly, add a comparison label.\
4. If you have setup Previous Period and Benchmark data, you will see the demographic comparison data in the middle displayed as a % favourable score that is greater (+) or lower (-) than the comparison group % favourable score for that dimension or item.
5. Click Export to generate a PowerPoint deck or Excel file.
