Week View
In Week view, you'll find your per-day cost broken down by category and vendor.
To drill down even deeper, select either a date or a vendor to bring up an Invoice Item Details view.
Invoice Item Details View

This will give you insight into your weekly spending with that particular Vendor or Date depending on your selection. Use your Category Weekly spending data to track how your spending changes over time, understand which are your highest-ticket items, and get ahead of any concerning trends in real-time.
