Text Stamps

The following example shows the DiveTab 7.1(25) and later grammar for text stamps, including additions of the complete type, quarter-to-date time-range-tag, and the previous text-comparison-tag.

  stamp "MTD vs Prev Complete Month" {
    text {
      month-to-date
      previous type = "complete" {
	 difference
	 percent-difference
      }
    }
  }
      
  stamp "MTD vs Last Year MTD" {
    text {
      month-to-date {
	 label "Current" {
	   column-title "Current Month"
	 }
      }
      previous-year {
	 label "LY Month" {
	   column-title "Last Year Month"
	 }
      }
    }
  }
      
  stamp "YTD vs Last Year to Complete Month" {
    text {
      month-to-date {
	 label "Current" {
	   column-title "Current Year"
        }
      }
      previous-year type = "month-end" {
        difference {
	   label "Delta" {
	     column-title "+/-"
	   }
	 }
	 label "LY to Month" {
	   column-title "LY to Complete Month"
	 }
      }
    }
  }
      
  stamp "QTD vs Prev QTD" {
    text {
      quarter-to-date {
	 label "Current" {
	   column-title "Current Quarter"
	 }
      }
      previous {
	 difference {
	   label "Delta" {
	     column-title "+/-"
	   }
	 }
	 percent-difference {
	   label "%Delta" {
	     column-title "% +/-"
	   }
	 }
	 label "Prev QTD" {
	   column-title "Prior QTD"
	 }
      }
    }
  }
      
  stamp "R3-to-Date vs LY Complete R3" label = "VS LY Complete R3" {
    text {
      quarter-to-date {
	 label "Current" {
	   column-title "Current R3--to-Date"
	 }
      }
      previous-year type = "complete" {
	 difference {
	   label "Delta" {
	     column-title "+/-"
	   }
	 }
	 percent-difference {
	   label "%Delta" {
	     column-title "% +/-"
	   }
	 }
	 label "LY R3" {
	   column-title "LY Complete R3"
	 }
      }
      label "R3-to-Date vs LY Complete R3"
    }
  }

The following example is the DiveTab 7.1(21) through 7.1(24) grammar for text stamps.

stamp "YTD vs Prev Year to Date" {
    text {
      year-to-dateprevious-year {
        differencepercent-difference
      }
    }
  }
  stamp "Today vs Same Day Last Year" label = "Today" {
    text {
      calendar "standard" // optional, "standard" is the defaultcurrent-dayprevious-year {
        difference

      }
    }
  }
  stamp "R6-to-Date vs Last Year R6-to-Date" {
    text {
      rolling-months 6previous-year
    } 
  }
  stamp "MTD vs Last Year Month End" {      
    text {         
      month-to-dateprevious-year type = "month-end" {
        percent-difference
      }         
    } 
  }
  stamp "YTD vs Prev Year to Complete Month" {
    text {
      year-to-dateprevious-year type = "month-end" {
        differencepercent-difference
      }         
    }        
  }

Stamps with Non-default Calendars

Here are examples of stamps using the fiscal calendar as defined in Measure Factory in DiveTab 7.1(21) and later.

  stamp "YTD vs Prev Year to Date" {
    text {
      calendar "Fiscal"
      year-to-date
      previous-year {
        difference
        percent-difference
      }
    }
  }
  stamp "R12-to-Date vs Last Year R12-to-Date" {
    text {
      calendar "Fiscal"
      rolling-months 12
      previous-year {
        difference
      }
    }
  }

Versus Aux Measure Stamps

Here are examples of versus aux measure stamps. The aux-measure must be defined in the Measure Factory script.

  stamp "VS Total" {
    text {
      current-day
      versus aux-measure = "Total" {
	 percent-of-target
      }
    }
  }
  stamp "VS Budget" {
    text {
      month-to-date
      versus aux-measure = "Sample Budget" {
	 difference
	 percent-of-target
      }
    }
  }
  stamp "VS Goal" {
    text {
      rolling-months 6
      versus aux-measure = "Goal"
    }
  }

NOTE: In DiveTab 7.1(21) to 7.1(24) this stamp is known as a total stamp, depicted below. This newer version allows for more measure versus auxiliary measure comparisons. Versus aux measure stamps are still capable of a total comparison if there is a Total aux-measure located in your Measure Factory project.

  stamp "VS Total" label = "Total Stamp" {
    text {
      month-to-date
      total aux-measure = "Total" {
        percent-of-total
      }
    }
  }

Chart Stamps

Here are examples of bar chart and line chart stamps.

  stamp R12-to-Date vs Last Year R12-to-Date" label = "Bar Chart R12" {
    bar-chart {
      rolling-months 12
      previous-year
    }
  }   
  stamp "Last Year vs Last Year R12-to-Date" label = "Line Chart R12" {
    line-chart {
      rolling-months 12
      previous-year {
        percent-difference
        difference
      }
    }
  }
  stamp "YTD" label = "Bar Chart YTD" {
    bar-chart {
      year-to-date
    }
  }
  stamp "YTD vs Prev YTD" label = "Line Chart YTD" {
    line-chart {
      year-to-date
      previous-year {
        difference
      }
    }
  }

NOTE: The chart stamps can only use the year-to-date and rolling-months 12 time-range-tag values. The text-comparison-tag and additional comparison values are optional for chart stamps. The middle text label is not available for the charts
