Creating Comparisons with Denominators

Denominators can be used to provide comparisons between just straight data, and data by rate or percentage. In the example below, the numerator is divided by the denominator to provide a rate.

Prerequisites: You must have the 'Allow Access to Report Center' and 'Create Report - Denominators' functions enabled for your role.
