Sales Analysis Report

This report compares the sales totals of two different dates or date ranges and shows the percentage of change between the two. It provides several different settings for retrieving information, and the first page of the report shows which settings were chosen. Because your selections are saved until you exit the report settings screen, you can go back and modify them after printing.
