Hi there, @lisaw66.

The figures showing in the Sales section in the dashboard covers the last month while the Sales report depends on the Report period and Accounting method you've set when you run it. 

To correct this, make sure that both dates in the Dashboard and Sales report are the same. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the Reports tab, then select the Sales report. 
2. Under the Report Period, select Last month. 
3. In the Accounting method, select Accrual or Cash. 
4. Hit Run Report. 

Here's the sample screenshots if you've selected Accrual.
