The 52 weeks comparison chart will show you data from the same day of the week last year. The 1-year comparison chart will show you sales data from the same date last year. Learn more about summaries and reports from the online Square Dashboard.
If your sales data doesn’t match today compared to last week or year, it’s likely that today’s sales aren’t finished. Sales data and percentages in the app are in real-time. For example, let’s say it’s 4:00 PM right now and you’ve had 100 sales so far. By 4:00 PM a week ago, you had 80 sales, but 120 sales total for the entire day. Currently, the app would show 100 sales today versus 120 for last week, with a +25% week-over-week change. We realise these numbers might be confusing if your sales day hasn’t yet ended — we’re constantly adding new features to the app, so hold tight for improvements.
