"Year to date" sales for 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 sales are shown in series at the top of the table and then just below a comparison of 2021 versus 2020 and 2021 versus 2019 is displayed.  This provides an easy-to-view summary of all the data.

Microsoft

I've predicted 7.5 million for the Series this year, if the shortage continues, even with weeks at 200k my prediction will be spot on
