Sales report same day previous year - Square register vs. Square iOS app

Mickey614 — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 08:00:21 GMT

If I view a sales report vs. prior year in the iOS Square app or the Square website, it will adjust the date so that it is comparing the same day of the week (ie Sat July 2 2022 vs. Sat Jul 3 2021).

But if I view the similar report in Square Register, it simply compares the same calendar date and does not adjust it to match the same day of the week.

Is there a setting somewhere in Square Register to get it to display reports the same as the website or the app?

Hey there @Mickey614

If you tap on the Arrow glyph you will be able to select Same Day Previous Year and this will match what your Register shows.

The issue is that "same day previous year" on the register is the same calendar day (Jul 9 2022 vs. Jul 9 2021), whereas on the iOS app and the website dashboard the date is shifted to match the same day of the week (Sat Jul 9 2022 vs. Sat Jul 10 2021)
