Orders chart

At a glance

• Four primary visuals on this page:
  • Weekly orders (bar + line)
  • Weekly sales (bar + line)
  • Monthly orders (bar + line)
  • Monthly sales (bar + line)
• Bars represent the selected period's totals (today / selected week/month). Lines represent the same period in the prior year for easy comparison.

Charts and axes

• Weekly charts

  • X axis: days of the week (Mon → Sun, or the locale-appropriate week ordering).
  • Weekly orders Y axis: total order count (integer).
  • Weekly sales Y axis: total sales value (currency).

  

• Monthly charts

  • X axis: months of the year (Jan → Dec).
  • Monthly orders Y axis: total order count (integer) for each month.
  • Monthly sales Y axis: total sales value (currency) for each month.

On every chart:

• Bars: current period totals (e.g., this week's daily totals, this month's monthly totals).
• Line: prior year's totals for the equivalent period (helps spot year-over-year differences at a glance).

Controls and filters

• Weekly charts

  • Date selector: pick any date within the week you want to inspect; the weekly charts will show the surrounding week containing that date.

• Monthly charts

  • Year selector: choose the year to display. The chart shows the 12 months for the selected year.

Notes:

• The weekly selector is date-based (you pick a date); the monthly selector is year-based (you pick a year).
• There is no table view or CSV export on this page — the focus is visual comparison (bars vs prior year line).

How to read the visuals

• Look for divergence between the bars (current period) and the line (prior year): a persistent gap indicates a sustained change in trading performance.
• For weekly views, peaks on specific weekdays commonly indicate campaign activity, promotions or operational events; use the date selector to focus the week for investigation.
• For monthly summaries, use the year selector to compare seasonal performance and spot long-term trends.
