# Multiple Meters / Multiple Datapoints (Meter Comparison)

With a *Multiple meters* or *Multiple Datapoints* analytic you can compare data for two or more meters or points, for example compare the main electric meter with the sub-meters.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
*Multiple meters* and *Multiple Datapoints* analytics behave the same way, but show different assets in the [Location picker](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/platform/insight-analytics/the-insight-analytics-interface/location-picker-meter-tree).&#x20;
{% endhint %}

To set up a meter comparison, select it from the *Analytics type* selector **\[A]**

You will be prompted to select two or more meters/Datapoints from the [*Location Picker*](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/platform/insight-analytics/the-insight-analytics-interface/location-picker-meter-tree) **\[D]**. The selected meters or Datapoints are marked with a grey background and a red bar to the left&#x20;

You can deselect meters from your comparison by clicking them once more, or you can remove them from the comparison by clicking the delete button  beside the meter name in the summary table beneath the graph.

Once the meters are selected you can then choose the time period to view by using the [*Time Period Picker*](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/platform/insight-analytics/the-insight-analytics-interface/time-period-picker) **\[C]**.

The chart will show the data from those meters over the selected time period as a line, bar or “donut” graph as specified by the *Chart type* selector in the *Chart options bar* **\[B]**
