      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.squareup.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/644718"&gt;@LisaU&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Using Square it is not possible to see a comparrison of Sales between different years.&amp;nbsp; Now what I have done is I down load my yearly totals on my computer to a Folder called Yearly Sales.&amp;nbsp; In that folder is listed a csv file from Square's Transactions Reports.&amp;nbsp; I rename the file to just Transactions-(year) so for 2023 its Transactions-2023.&amp;nbsp; Then I used Power Query in Excel to go to the Folder Yearly sales and then Power Query pulls the data from all .csv files that contain Transactions in the file name.&amp;nbsp; Then I use Power Query to Export the Power query to an Excel Pivot Table.&amp;nbsp; The Year/Quarter/Month/Day down the Left side and accross the top I can choose how many Sales We had or have the $ amount of any of the columns from the Transactions csv file.&amp;nbsp; I set this up in 2021 I believe and then this year all I did was down load the Transactions for 2023 from Square added to the folder, opened the save PowerQuery spreedsheet and pressed refress all data.... 1 minite later if that everything was updated in the Pivot table.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here is a video showing how to do this with Excel and Power Query :&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://youtu.be/0aeZX1l4JT4?si=EuiFcTC0zk5uEL-F" target="_self"&gt;Power Query How to Video&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;At about 12 minutes and 30 seconds, the video goes to Home, Close and Load.... This is where I just chose to Close and Load to Pivot Table.&amp;nbsp; Then in the future when I open this it does not take me to a combined sheet and I have to make the Pivot table again.&amp;nbsp; I just click on Refresh data and the Pivot table updates.&amp;nbsp; Then on the pivot table depending on which one I loaded I can instead of choosing Profit like the Video did for the Sum Value I can choose, Gross Sales, Net Sales, Fees etc and the Pivot table automatically shows these figures.&amp;nbsp; You can also Right click in the Values box and change the Gross sales to a Count, this gives you a total of the Quantity of Sales.&amp;nbsp; So this can show if your having more or less sales not just based on $ value.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now how to get these CSV files from Square, on a computer you can go to&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://squareup.com/dashboard/sales/transactions" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://squareup.com/dashboard/sales/transactions&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Then on the Far right side export, choose all the different choices to determine which one works the best for you.&amp;nbsp; Maybe do like I did make 3 folders Transactions, Items Detail, and Items Summary and figure out which one works best for you or maybe all 3 would work to give you different answers to different Questions.&amp;nbsp; This also helps find things quickly using the Filter option in your pivot tables.&amp;nbsp; Like how many of Item XYZ sold in a year, for example.&amp;nbsp; So as you can see the charts show Count of Refrence ID's, which was done by selecting Count instead of Sum in the Value box on the Pivot Table.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So just for example here are the counts for the Years 2020 and 2021 and what they show the Number of sales not the $ amounts for this example: To go from the Years view all you need to do is press the (+) next to the Year to see Quarters, and samething to see the Months from Quarters .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Years 2020 and 2021&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="years.png" style="width: 999px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.squareup.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/41338i6CC522BDD3187B29/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="years.png" alt="years.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Quarter Number of Transactions for 2020 and 2021&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Quarters.png" style="width: 999px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.squareup.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/41339i0E166A79F03A2052/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Quarters.png" alt="Quarters.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Monthly Sales Transactions for 2020 and 2021&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="months.png" style="width: 999px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.squareup.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/41340i1E03C046A7165464/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="months.png" alt="months.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;These numbers show that in 2020 March , April, and May we were closed for In store sales, which is why The 8 and 25 for April and May 2020.&amp;nbsp; Those were Curbside pickups.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
