Select transactions...Only sales that fall within the date range specified will be graphed. You must enter a date range. The date range can mean one of two things, depending on your selection:

  • Sold between xxx and yyy: Graph items that were sold between the dates specified, regardless of when (or if) the revenue has been realized.
  • Revenue realized between xxx and yyy: Only graph items where the revenue has been realized within the date range specified. On the cash accounting method, choosing Sold between or Revenue realized have the same effect, since revenue is realized when items are sold.
