For the Market Share Report, there are four options to base the search criteria on. You can see the market share based on publisher, distributor, subject, or format. To select one of these for your report, select the appropriate tab and fill out the criteria in that page. The first box in all three tabs will change based on which one is selected, but the remainder of the fields for comparison are exactly the same.
| Top Tip: The Market Share report excludes sales of titles with blank rows or missing bibliographic data in any of these fields: Publisher, Distributor, Format, and Subject. To ensure an accurate comparison, we must have good quality bibliographic data for titles included in this report. |

- Format: If you select formats simply click Add/Edit Subjects to drill down and choose the specific binding formats you want to see. Selecting a top-level category will not automatically select its children. The formats here are independent of each other. Selecting "Hardcover" will only return a single column for Hardcover that shows the total sales for that entire category.
- Subject: By default, all six top-level subjects are already selected. To change this, or to select a specific subject category, click on the Add/Edit Subjects button to open a menu showing the different subject categories. Selecting a top-level category will not automatically select its children. The subjects here are independent of each other. Selecting "Fiction" will only return a single column for Fiction that shows the total sales for that entire category.
- Over Time: Allows you to modify the reporting period by Snapshot, Consecutive Weeks/Months/Quarters, or Year Over Year.
- Snapshot: Gives you a report with preset columns showing the selected week, previous week, year to date, last year to date, last year, and 2 years previous. You are given the option here to choose the week ending date for that data.
- Consecutive Weeks/Months/Quarters: Allows you to choose reporting intervals to appear in the columns, either weeks, months, or quarters. You may choose the ending date, and the number of weeks/months/quarters to display.
- Quarters are calculated based on the calendar year as follows:
- Q1 = January to March
- Q2 = April to June
- Q3 = July to September
Q4 = October to December
- Quarters are calculated based on the calendar year as follows:
- Year over year: Allows you to see the same reporting interval over the past ten years. Each year's data is displayed in a separate column. Here you can choose to see data from the same month, quarter, year-to-date, or year over the last ten years. You will be given an option to specify which month, quarter, or year to use..
