Contribution Change Pct
=======================

This Condition, located on the `Contributions` category tab in Search Builder,
allows you to find people whose giving has increased or decreased
by comparing two periods of time.

Enter the following:

Start Date
    The beginning of the first period.

End Date
    The end of the first period and the beginning of the second period.
    The second period always runs from this date through today,
    so choose a date about halfway between the Start Date and today.

Comparison and Value
    Enter the second period's giving as a percentage of the first period's giving,
    as a whole number without the % sign.
    For example, ``120`` means the person now gives 120% of what they gave before (a 20% increase).

.. important::
    Use only the `Greater` or `LessEqual` Comparison with this Condition.
    The other Comparisons do not filter by the percentage
    and return everyone who gave in either period.

.. note::
    You must have the **Finance** role to get results from this Condition.
    Without it, the search returns 0 people and does not show an error.

For joint givers, the gifts are credited to the Head of Household.

.. admonition:: Use Case

    To find everyone whose giving increased by more than 20% over the past year,
    enter a Start Date two years ago and an End Date one year ago,
    select `Greater`, and enter ``120``.
    To find those whose giving dropped to half or less,
    select `LessEqual` and enter ``50``.

.. tip::
    - A new giver will always show an increase. Add a `Join Date` Condition
      that is on or after the Start Date to look only at newer members,
      or exclude them.
    - To find people whose giving *and* attendance have dropped, add
      `Recent Attendance Count` Conditions for the two periods.

Explained how the two periods are set, noted that only the Greater and LessEqual Comparisons filter by percentage, and documented the Finance role requirement. Replaced the outdated screenshot with a current sample search from Search Builder. Updated the sample screenshot to match the Use Case.
