Prior Week

Data for the last day of the prior week.

Although the previous week's data is automatically loaded, you can update the values. Your edits do not change the data from last week; they accommodate changes that may have happened since last week's forecast. For example, editing the number of rooms sold for the previous week will not change the value from the prior week, but make adjustments for the current week which provides a more accurate forecast for the current week.
