Period-Over-Period Analysis
This chapter focuses on how Sigma streamlines period-over-period analysis for real business reporting. You’ll learn how to set up valid date fields, choose the right time granularity, and use Sigma’s automated MoM, QoQ, and YoY comparison tools. You’ll then expand into flexible techniques like DateLookBack and InDateRange to support rolling windows and custom time periods.

Enriching Data with Lookups
This chapter explores how Sigma’s Lookup tools let you enrich tables by bringing in data from other sources without writing SQL. You’ll learn when to use lookups instead of joins, how to configure them correctly, and how to return aggregated values through the Lookup wizard. You’ll also learn to troubleshoot multiple-match issues and perform multi-key lookups for complex datasets.
