Comparison Between Two Variables

Anonymous — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 20:33:45 GMT

I'm working on a report where I need to display comparisons of two binary categories. In particular, I need to show both raw numbers and gaps between them. The raw numbers are easy, and the gap isn't difficult if I know what the two categories are. I want the display percentage gaps between groups A and B like below, where positive numbers indicate that the gap between A and B favors A, and negative numbers the opposite. It also changes colors based on if the number is positive or negative.

Here's the challenge: I want A and B to be variables. Specifically, I want them to be variable filters that the user can choose and change at will. This is all on a single dataset, so it's easy to filter these categories individually. My challenge is applying these two different filters to a single visualization. For example, comparing in-state vs out-of-state, where more in-state for a given year is positive, and more out-of-state for a given year is negative. I want this to be possible across a wide range of categories that the user can choose.
