Historical Comparison

Description

The turnover is distributed over a year on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis. At the same time, the normalised turnover for each week, month, quarter, or year is calculated for each year. To give an identification of how the chosen year develops compared to the historic average, the index in percentage for these two values is also included in the response.

The sequential turnover is divided by the total turnover, which means that the turnover is normalized instead of being absolute numbers.

To get the response in the right format (week, month, quarter, or year), choose two years and choose the endpoint. By using the filter, you can choose to only look at a specific period or only include certain segments.

FAQ

  • How do I know if there was any change in card turnover when comparing last year to the year before?

    • The response carries all necessary information. Specifically, the end_year_vs_start_year_index parameter is a result of the comparison of these two values
  • What's the yearly picture of Danish people travelling to Finland?

    • Different filters need to be applied to create such an overview. The issuer card must be set to Denmark and the merchant country to Finland. Also, one has to filter on private cards only.
  • How does the turnover develop over the year for the Airlines and Travel Agencies category on a weekly basis?

    • The normalized card turnover will indicate the development of this value. By applying the category filter, you will receive data for the desired category only. Also, the data will be shown up to the current week number of the current year.
