Seeing historical values with the comparison feature

Last updated: September 17, 2026

Tables show compact comparisons by default, but you can still see previous values if you need.

When you use historical comparisons, by default Polar shows the % change in the same cell, with a tooltip to see the previous absolute value.

To see the all previous values as a separate column, choose the "Show previous value column" from the context menu in the column header.

To make this permanent for a table, enable this while editing a table and save it.

Outside the table editor, this setting is temporary and will be reset when you navigate away.
