Keep the inputs consistent
Current sales may be zero, which produces a 100% decline. Growth is a descriptive comparison; it does not explain why sales changed or forecast the next period.
03
Use the result in your workflow
Keep the useful output beside the source values so another person can check the same scenario.
04
Know the limits of this tool
Use comparable durations and the same treatment of returns, tax and discounts. Track orders and basket value alongside sales to understand the operational sources of change.
