The Monthly Comparison Viewport compares dollars and donors by month in the current fiscal year against the previous fiscal year. Dollars are counted in the month that the transaction date occurs. Donors are counted in the first month they are credited with a transaction of the selected measurement, so that any double counting is avoided if certain individuals give more than once during the fiscal year.

The Fiscal Year can be changed using the drop down at the top of the tab. This drop down will reload all Viewports in the tab with the selected fiscal year.

The dollar and donor Measurement can be changed using the drop down at the top of the Viewport. Any changes made to the measurement selection are stored, so the Viewport will display your last selection the next time you log in.
