With the Year-over-Year Analysis report template, you can build graphs comparing key performance indicators (KPIs) from year to year. You can view multiple years on one graph, giving you a visual tool for tracking business performance.
Create a report
Follow the steps to create a custom report based on the Year-over-Year Analysis template.
For the best results, report on a single metric at a time. Under METRICS, make sure the metric you want to report on is the only item selected. You can report on:
Completed Jobs—Number jobs completed within the selected date range
Completed Revenue—Subtotal of income items for completed jobs
Total Revenue—Sum of completed revenue, adjustment revenue, and non-job revenue
