Optional Filters:

Sales Date Range: Choose the number of days for which you want to see analytics of your competitors. For example, choose 14 days if you want to see analytics for the last 14 days like their total sales, earnings, and items sold in that time period.

Period Sales: Set a minimum and/or maximum sales that a competitor has made during the period specified by the Competitor range.
