3. How does the report work?

In the Retention report, data is analyzed for the whole months. Analyzed months are displayed in the rows (1):

In the vertical line (2) you will find the number of months, which have passed from the first one. This is why this report should be read from top to bottom.

Here is the example: we are going to analyze the January 2021. In the row “0” you can see the value of 100. This is the percentage value, which represents all members, who joined your club during this month. You should remember that this value is calculated in the last day of the month, based on the active new members.
Other rows and columns are analyzed in exact the same way.

Additional rows will be added to the report, until the percentage value reaches 0. This is why the number of rows can be greater than 12.

Important! This report is calculated during the last day of the month.

After clicking on the selected value, you will see the list of members that are counted in:
