What's the word for describing days/months/years when comparing to something else?

Here's an example of the sentence I'm trying to write:



"Monday: the (x) equivalent of falling down a flight of stairs"



Some examples of other sentences that are similar to the one I'm trying to create:



Aloe vera: the botanical equivalent of drinking milk after eating a hot pepper



Moses: the biblical equivalent of a water bender



I hope that makes sense.

  • @michael.hor257k in the sense that Monday is a day that appears on a calendar, that could work. I'm just trying to find a word with the definition of, "of or relating to a day/a day of the week." I can't seem to get away from the word "daily" (ex. "the daily equivalent of falling down a flight of stairs") but the definitions don't match at all.

    Well, Monday only occurs once a week - so in that sense it would be a weekly experience. The thing is that your other examples are much wider. And if this is supposed to be funny, then calendrical works a little better - though not by much.

  • First of all, you could use temporal. However, the analogy itself doesn't work. The only reason that "Monday is like falling down a flight of stairs" is because it's the first day back to work. So it really has nothing to do with time but more to do with employment (e.g., the job equivalent of . . .)

  • This is a poorly expressed answer. The question asks for "the word" - i.e. one single word - but you've provided five words, of which just one (temporal) suits what the OP is asking for. I recommend you edit your answer to (a) clarify what your solution is, (b) provide an explanation of why it's correct, (c) provide an authoritative source such as a dictionary definition to support your reason, and (d) ideally, add a link to that source.

What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

Image
0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?
