How Year over Year Analytics Work in DashAI
DashAI makes year-over-year analytics effortless. Here's what sets our time-based reporting apart.
Automatic Time Range Detection
DashAI understands natural language time references. Say "year-over-year", "last year over year", or "this year over year vs previous" and the AI knows exactly what data to fetch. No date pickers, no manual configuration—just describe the time frame you need.
Period-Over-Period Comparisons
Compare any year over year to its previous period with a simple question. See percentage changes, trend direction, and absolute differences instantly. DashAI automatically aligns time periods correctly, even accounting for different numbers of days where applicable.
Real-Time Data Updates
Your year over year analytics update in real-time as new orders come in. Whether you're checking year-over-year sales in the morning or at midnight, you're always seeing the most current data. No waiting for batch updates or scheduled syncs.
Smart Time Granularity
DashAI automatically chooses the right granularity for your year over year charts. Year over Year trends show appropriate intervals, making patterns easy to spot. You can also ask for specific breakdowns like hourly, daily, or weekly within your chosen time frame.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about year over year analytics in DashAI.
How do I create a year over year report in DashAI?
Simply type a question that includes "year-over-year" or "this year over year". For example: "What were my year-over-year sales?" or "Show me year-over-year revenue by product". DashAI understands these natural time references and automatically filters your data to the correct year over year.
Can I compare this year over year to the previous year over year?
Absolutely. Just include "compared to last year over year" or "vs previous year over year" in your query. DashAI will show both periods side by side with percentage change calculations. This works for any metric—revenue, orders, customers, products, and more.
How current is the year over year data?
DashAI uses real-time webhooks to sync your Shopify data. Orders placed moments ago appear in your year over year reports immediately. There's no delay or batch processing—when something happens in your store, it's reflected in DashAI right away.
Can I save my year over year report to a dashboard?
Yes. Any query you create can be saved as a widget on your custom dashboard. The year over year filter becomes a dynamic part of the widget, automatically updating as time progresses. Your "year-over-year sales" widget always shows the current year over year's data without any manual updates needed.
