Thanks for the reply, I would like to compare the data on a relative basis (%), similar like two (or more) stocks can be compared in Google Finance in a specified timeframe where at t=0 both data-value are 0% and from there on the performance can be compared. Here is an example from Google Finance where the stocks of Google (in red) is compared against Apple (in blue) in a time-frame of 1 month: http://www.google.com/finance?chdnp=1&chdd=1&chds=1&chdv=1&chvs=Linear&chdeh=0&chfdeh=0&chdet=1345233600000&chddm=8993&chls=IntervalBasedLine&cmpto=NASDAQ:GOOG&cmptdms=0&q=NASDAQ:AAPL&ntsp=0
Now I would like to use my own data and compare that to another dataset or even compare my data against a stock. I'm asking because I have written a piece of software in PHP which tracks performance data of companies and clients which is then visualized in a google line chart, but it would be great to compare the data against each other or against other market relevant data (like stocks or market indexes) in a relative way. Hope I'm not the only one who can use this? :) On Thursday, August 16, 2012 11:29:50 PM UTC-4, asgallant wrote: > > What you want is most likely possible, but it depends on exactly how you > want to compare the data.
