Comparison Results

When comparing datasets, the system categorizes changes based on their presence and differences between the two selected data sources or time periods:

Category Description
Added The data exists only in the second data source or period.
Modified The data exists in both the first and the second data source or period but has changed.
Removed The data exists only in the first data source or period.
Equal The data exists in both the data source or period, and remain unchanged.

Information

Note: The direction of comparison matters. The system always uses Dataset 2 as the reference and compares Dataset 1 against it. For example:

  • If a route entry appears in Dataset 2 but not in Dataset 1, the result is categorized as Added.
  • If you swap the datasets, the same entry will now be marked as Removed.
