# How do the weekly and monthly reports work?

> Every Monday you get a report on the past week, and on the 1st one on the past month. Read them again on the Reports page, or download a PDF or Excel file.

priceq builds a report on how your prices held up against the market, e-mails it, and keeps it on the **Reports** page. There are two kinds.

- **Weekly report**: sent every Monday at 07:30 UTC. It covers the week that just ended, Monday to Sunday.
- **Monthly report**: sent on the 1st of the month at 08:30 UTC. It covers the previous calendar month.

## Who gets it

Every active user in your organisation who has finished setting up their account. The report does not follow the alert e-mail setting in **My account**, so switching alert mail **Off** does not stop it. The mail shows the key figures and the top five lines of the worklist. The full report is in the app.

## The Reports page

Open **Reports**. The list on the left shows every report, newest first. Each line gives the period, **Weekly report** or **Monthly report**, the price index and how it moved since the previous report of the same kind. Click a line to open it.

At the top of a report you see when it was sent and to how many people, or **Not sent yet**. The report then shows, among others:

- **Price index** and **Above the lowest price**
- the position bar: **cheapest**, **level** and **dearer**
- a worklist of products where you are above the lowest price, sorted by what the gap is worth
- **Who beats you**, **By category** and **Biggest moves**

For how the index is calculated, see [The price index](/help/en/understanding-prices/the-price-index).

## A report is a snapshot

A report is stored as it was built and does not change afterwards. That is why the page and the old mail always agree.

To get fresh figures, choose **Refresh report**. priceq rebuilds the report for the last completed week with today's data. It does not send the mail again. You can refresh at most 6 times an hour, and you need the **Member** role or higher. Monthly reports cannot be refreshed.

With no report yet, the page says so and shows the **Refresh report** button, which builds one for the past week.

## Downloads

Every report has two buttons: **PDF** and **Excel**. Both hold the same snapshot as the page.

For spreadsheets over a period you choose yourself, see [Download Excel reports](/help/en/alerts-and-reports/download-excel-reports). When a figure in the report looks different from the price page, read [Why doesn't the number in my report match the price page?](/help/en/alerts-and-reports/report-numbers-dont-match)
