Use this report to plan staff and stock. If every Monday brings 60 bills and Thursday brings 25, you know when to call the part-time phlebotomist and when a technician can take leave. Each row is one day.

    A month or a quarter works well.

    The column headed Test holds the date (dd-MM-yyyy). patients is the number of bills that day. amt is the test total of those bills.
  4. Look at the charts
    One chart shows the bills per day, the other the amount per day. The bars show at a glance which days were heavy.
  5. Export
    Click Excel. In Excel you can add a weekday column and compare Mondays with Thursdays.
Cautionamt is billed value by bill date, before discount and without extra charges. It is not the money collected that day. For cash in hand, use the Daily Collection Report.
CautionOn the printed page only the day number of each date comes through. Print from the Excel sheet when you need full dates on paper.
Good to knowDays with no bills do not appear, so a Sunday when the lab was closed leaves no row.

Questions people ask

Why does the list start with the last day?

The newest day comes first, so the latest figures are on top.

Does it count pending bills?

Yes. Pending and finished bills both count, by the bill date.

Why does today's amt differ from today's Daily Collection?

Date Wise counts bills made today. Daily Collection counts money received today, including old dues.
