How to Compare Adwords Reports?

January 2006 compared to january 2007 - is there an easy way?

[Balle]

I have made a adwords report for how we did in january 2006 and a similar report for january 2007.

I would like to compare these rapports - they are similar but some keywords have been added others have been delited. This might sound easy to some - but with more then 7000 keywords it becomes a bit tricky (at least for me as I am no Excel geek).

I know it can be done in Excel somehow but havent managed to figure out how to get Excel to sort the keywords so development can be easy compared.

Is there an easy way...?

Thanks in advance.

PS. AWA this would be a great addition if the reports could offer this in the future.

best thing would be to put the figures side by side and then use the Pivot Table functionality.
if you havent tried it yet, you'll love it

Consider it done, Balle. I've just copy/pasted your suggestion into this week's Advertiser Feedback Report. ;)

Comparison tools are all very welcome. We would love to be able to compare different time periods to see how we are doing.
