How is this calculated?
It depends on your accounting period setup. If you’re on the calendar year, comparisons use the exact same calendar date from the prior year. So January 14th compares to last year’s January 14th. If you use a different period structure like 13-4 or 4-4-5, it compares the same weekday within the same period from last year. For example, if January 14th is a Tuesday, it’s compared to the corresponding Tuesday in last year’s period — which might have been January 16th.What are your options?
You can pick up to two of these:- Last week’s data
- Last year’s data
- Two years ago
