Double bar graph

On my phone I can, or could see a double bar graph that compared each month from this year to the same month of the previous year. Now that we are in a new year it has reset and I can only see January of last year to Jan of this year. I would LOVE to be able to generate a double bar graph from 21 and compare to 22. The fact that Square does not have this is not cool. It is a great way to compare months and growth, see patterns etc. Product support via phone said they would " run it up the ladder." If I was able to generate this graph it would show that I grew every month compared to the previous year that same month. It would easily, visually show the growth. I need to get this so I can show a potential buyer and the line graph does not consolidate the information as I need. Very poor accounting capabilities within the reports section. This can easily be solved by a mediocre programmer. It could potentially be the data that would allow me to sell my business but Square is simply lacking when it comes to flexibility in reporting. Anyone here have any suggestions?

Hello @joeslv !

 

Yeah, phone reporting is... tough. Especially when you're trying to do comparatives.

 

If you're running an iPhone, I highly recommend downloading the Square Dashboard app. It's soooooo much easier to do comparatives on it. Comparing last year to prior years is the matter of about 5 taps with the app currently. A prior update (that got reversed due to some back end issues) made comparatives even easier. I'm looking forward to trying out the new interface once it's re-released.

 

Otherwise, yeah, your best bet is to sit down at a desktop and view reporting from there. I wish I had better news.
