   If your business is Seasonal then recent sales history is not so useful.
   What you may want to see is what sold last year, for the upcoming season.
   To achieve this you can set the Sales to pick up Mth-12, Mth-11, Mth-10 and Mth-9. This will show the Sales for this time last year and the next 3 months, last year.
