A Benchmark report is used to compare average values, across different predefined values. This can be used to compare/benchmark across departments, year, countries or other background variables. For example, in an employee satisfaction survey you might want to compare the overall satisfaction in different departments.
All this can be generated by the system. First you need to create an advanced filter for each of your variable values. Perhaps you need to create a user-defined variable before you can create the advanced filters.
