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? :)
