A summary figure is easier to understand when you can see which records went into it. Let's start with the period and the selected conditions.

Check the date range

Every summary belongs to a particular period. Before you read the metrics, find the start and the end of the selected range.

Look at the number of records

The percentage and the number of records describe different sides of the summary. Next to a relative figure, it is worth reading how many records went into the sample.

Compare like with like

Different filters change the set of records. When you look at two summaries, compare the period, the asset and the other selected conditions, as well as the explanation of the metric itself.
