Comparing Multiple Values

Is it possible in QlikView to compare multiple values? My project is to compare current month's employee data vs. previous month's employee data. The goal is to highlight any changes between the 2 months (ex: if a name changes, position change, employee joining/departing, manager change, etc...). If this is possible, how would you approach this? Below are the following examples: March 2020 / April 2020 / Difference between March vs. April

HI,

if this is a checking between current and previous month only,

from my high-level observation, you can assign two-variable containing these two dynamic months and in the stagging layer can consolidate one table containing both data. Next, introduce a flag column to check if the data corresponding to any ID in two months have a difference in value.

And from Visual Cues, you can add color to the column depending on your flag '1' or '0'.
