The report I recommend that you look at first is in the Reporting Documents > Dissection Family Class Period Sales Comparison.

It will make I am sure fascinating reading, in my view, the two most important metrics here are Qty which are the number of sales for each department and the $ Profit made by each department.
What can also be useful is running the same report comparing the year before last year with the same period this year.
Remember that random chance dictates that about third are up, a third is down and the rest about the same. So you need to study the figures.
At the end of today's trading, you simply need to include date of today to get current figures.
