The Sales Comparison report provides sales data by day, week, month, and year for a given date compared with the same time periods for the year before.
To see this week’s sales compared with the same week last year, just enter today’s date in the Compare Date field. To see an earlier year’s data, enter the date of the year after it in the Compare Date field. For example, if today is 1/1/2017 and you want to see data from 2015, enter 1/1/2016. Optionally, use Compare To Date to select a different date with which to compare the Compare Date. Note that improvements are shown in green and deficiencies are shown in red.
