Does anyone else find the recent change to the "Yearly Gross Sales" report problematic? The ability to compare to prior years is definitely a plus. Unfortunately the report now compares YTD sales against full year sales of a prior year. For my retail business, this is a meaningless comparison. Of course I would expect my YTD sales to be down some 30%+ when compared to the prior year, which contains year end holiday sales. For the prior 8 years, the report use to compare YTD sales against the same period in the prior year. This was extremely useful as I could quickly see if my sales were on track, ahead or behind for the same period. I would reference these stats on a weekly (if not more frequent) basis. I really don't understand how the current reporting is useful to anyone. So come next Jan, the report will tell you that your "Yearly Gross Sales" are 99% behind your 2022 sales. How is that helpful to anyone?
Not sure how to get Square to restore the YTD comparison. Is there anyone I can complain to? It's really tough when you make a change to the system that is not backward compatible to a behavior that has been in place for year. Enhancements are great, but they need to retain some level of backward compatibility or the system become unreliable.
