How you handle a closed day affects every average nouz computes — weekly trends, peak/weak detection, monthly P&L. The simple rule below keeps the data clean.
01 The rule
A blank day means "no data for this date". A €0 entry means "I was open, took zero revenue, and want to record that". Most owners want the first. The blank stays blank — no need to manufacture a zero.
In nouz's data model, a day with no entries is genuinely blank — the database has no rows for that date. Statistics treats it as "not applicable" rather than "zero". This matters for averages.
02 Why it matters
Statistics computes averages over days you were open, not days that exist in the calendar. A blank Sunday doesn't drag your weekly average down — a €0 logged Sunday would. Same with peak/weak day detection: the blank is excluded, the zero is counted as your worst day ever.
For seasonal closures (a week's holiday), the difference can be dramatic: leave them blank and your monthly numbers stay representative; log them as zeros and your monthly average looks artificially low.
03 What it looks like on Home
On the week-so-far strip, blank days show as dashed outlines (vs. solid for logged, outlined for future). The visual is "you were closed, that's fine" rather than "you forgot to log".
In the calendar YTD view in Statistics, closed days show as dashed cells too. You can spot your seasonal patterns at a glance — the dashed cluster in August reveals when you took your summer break.
