occupancy, by month, by day, by year—almost any way you would like to

the Equest scheduling interface.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

scatter charts based on PivotTables, which Excel won’t allow you to do.

filter it by occupancy or other variables.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
