How do I compare my results via date range?
### Analytics
        ![(iframe)](https://www.loom.com/embed/82ab496cae9b4e7ca8e6e6d461678248?hide_owner=true&hide_share=true&hide_title=true&hideEmbedTopBar=true)

You can compare your results by date range in your [form's analytics](https://paperform.co/help/articles/form-analytics/) (exclusively available with selected [pricing plans](https://paperform.co/pricing/)). There are three options available:

 - **Nothing** - This will show analytics for all submissions.
 - **Previous period** - This will compare the period selected to the same length of time before it. You can adjust the two date ranges by clicking the date field and selecting a range for each.
 - **Custom dates** - This allows you to choose a custom date range for comparison.
