- A bar per week, this year solid and last year as a dashed outline behind it (the same week a year earlier). Untick to hide it.
- Choose 8 weeks, 6 months, a year or two years, a service type (Sunday Worship against Wednesday Night), and a service time (9:00, 11:00). Under All times the bars split into one segment per time; tap a segment to filter to it.
- A marker under a week means a note was left on a count, or it was Easter or Christmas week, when the same-week comparison misleads.
- Hover or tap a bar for its numbers. The line in words underneath is arithmetic: last Sunday against your last eight weeks, and against a year ago.

Past attendance from a spreadsheet
takes a small sheet, pasted or chosen as a CSV: a date column, your counts (or one Total), and a service time if you have more than one. The columns are matched by their names, a review says what will be written, then it goes in. A Sunday already counted from a phone is left alone; a past count brought in before is updated. The run is one line in the activity log.
