# Compare Subgroups with the Global Average

Explore how a subgroup (category or bucket) relates to a variable’s global average. Isolating a subgroup helps you better understand how it relates to the model’s goal.

To compare a subgroup with the global average:

1. [Open a Model](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_edd_story_open.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Open a model to explore relationships in your data.").
2. In the Variables panel, select a variable you want to investigate.
3. In the Filter Selector, choose the value you want to compare with the global average.
    
    ![Filter selector, showing the options month-to-month, one year, and two year](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_edd_insight_compare_value_global.png)
    
    Einstein shows a summary of the comparison between the selected value and the global average.
    
    ![Example showing that the selected two-year value does better than the global average](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_edd_insight_compare_value_global_summary.png)
    
    The insights list shows related insights you can explore.
