I want the chart to be either at a fix date, like compare this Monday to last Monday

Or at a flexible compare, like choose a date and compare to the date of previous week.

Thanks

HI, Manish

More questions:

Now I want to make my table a dynamic one, meaning, the date is not fixed at Max(Saledate), but a date select from list box 'Saledate', how should I set the

Last week sale, Definition?

Thank you very much?
