# Custom “compare” values for analytics

 * I would like to extend the functionality of woocommerce-admin analytics to include
   sales targets.
 * In the same way that current sales can be compared to last year’s sales, I would
   like to add weekly sales targets or forecasts which current sales could be compared
   to.
 * Can anybody give me some hints about where to get started? What would be the 
   best hooks and filters to use to add an extra dataset?

 * I should clarify: I would like to add this functionality to all reports in woocommerce-
   admin analytics. I have seen the example extension ‘sql-modification’ from [https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-admin/tree/master/docs/examples/extensions](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-admin/tree/master/docs/examples/extensions)
   which adds a currency filter to all reports.
 * I would like to do something similar, but instead of currency, I would like to
   add an extra dataset. It would be a very simple dataset: simply a daily sales
   target. It would be displayed instead of last year’s sales, for comparison with
   this year’s sales.
 * What is the best method?
