Gary and Jan,
I appreciate the input. I agree that consistency of the parameters is the key. I would say that what you do Gary, track the weeks as you go, is the best way to go. Would I be correct in thinking you define the weeks by dates as in: Wk start wk end week number 01/04/2009 01/11/2009 1 Etc?

I do a Year over Year looking at months so I just modified for weeks. SET VAR vCurrentYear = (IYR4(.#DATE)) SET VAR vPreviousYear = (IYR4(ADDYR(.#DATE,-1))) SET ERROR MESSAGE 677 OFF DROP VIEW CurrentYearWeeklySummary DROP VIEW LastYearWeeklySummary SET ERROR MESSAGE 677 ON CREATE TEMPORARY VIEW `CurrentYearWeeklySummary` + (Week,TotalSales) + AS SELECT + 1,(SUM(InvoiceTotal)) FROM InvoiceHead + WHERE (IYR4(InvoiceDate))=.vCurrentYear AND (IWOY(InvoiceDate)) = 1 + UNION SELECT + 2,(SUM(InvoiceTotal)) FROM InvoiceHead + WHERE (IYR4(InvoiceDate))=.vCurrentYear AND (IWOY(InvoiceDate)) = 2 + UNION SELECT + 3,(SUM(InvoiceTotal)) FROM InvoiceHead + WHERE (IYR4(InvoiceDate))=.vCurrentYear AND (IWOY(InvoiceDate)) = 3 + UNION SELECT + 4,(SUM(InvoiceTotal)) FROM InvoiceHead + WHERE (IYR4(InvoiceDate))=.vCurrentYear AND (IWOY(InvoiceDate)) = 4 CREATE TEMPORARY VIEW `LastYearWeeklySummary` + (Week,TotalSales) + AS SELECT + 1,(SUM(InvoiceTotal)) FROM InvoiceHead + WHERE (IYR4(InvoiceDate))=.vPreviousYear AND (IWOY(InvoiceDate)) = 1 + UNION SELECT + 2,(SUM(InvoiceTotal)) FROM InvoiceHead + WHERE (IYR4(InvoiceDate))=.vPreviousYear AND (IWOY(InvoiceDate)) = 2 + UNION SELECT + 3,(SUM(InvoiceTotal)) FROM InvoiceHead + WHERE (IYR4(InvoiceDate))=.vPreviousYear AND (IWOY(InvoiceDate)) = 3 + UNION SELECT + 4,(SUM(InvoiceTotal)) FROM InvoiceHead + WHERE (IYR4(InvoiceDate))=.vPreviousYear AND (IWOY(InvoiceDate)) = 4 I only did this for four weeks so you should be able to get the gist of it. CAUTION!!! The views are created pretty fast but looking at them is slow. Another thing when I looked at it is that there are no sales in week1 for the current year. That's because the first day of the year was a Friday so the first full week begins on January 4, 2010.

I find first of all this years week as you mentioned to Victor. I then want to go back to the same week of the previous year. But on top of that, I want to total the sales for all the days of the previous year on the same week. Right now I just go be same dates. I want the same week.
