# Example analytics calculations (legacy)

| For a breakdown of how analytics are calculated, [go to this article](/en/article/how-are-novlr-analytics-calculated-1lmi5n8/)

This page shows some illustrative examples of how different writing scenarios would show up in your analytics.

### Example calculations

## Example 1
500 words typed in to a chapter, 300 words subsequently edited from the same chapter.

| Activity | Qty |
| ---- |
| Written today | 500 |
| Deleted today | 300 |
| **Word count:** | **+200 on previous day** |

## Example 2
100 words added to a new chapter today, 400 words edited out of an old chapter.

| Activity | Qty |
| ---- |
| Written today | 100 |
| Deleted today | 400 |
| **Word count:** | **-300 on previous day** |

## Example 3
100 words written at 4am. Big edit at 10am removing 1000 words from the novel over a few chapters. Big write at 7pm of 500 words. Then mini edit chopping 50 of those words out.

| Activity | Qty |
| ---- |
| Written today | 600 |
| Deleted today | -1050 |
| **Word count:** | **-450 on previous day** |

Let’s break this one down:

I write 100 words in a new chapter at 4am	
* Words written today: 100
* Words deleted today: 0
* Word count: 100

I begin editing at 10am, deleting 1000 words from various chapters	
* Words written today: 100
* Words deleted today: 1000
* Word count: -900

At 7pm I add 500 words to my newest chapter	
* Words written today: 600
* Words deleted today: 1000
* Word count: -400

I edit my newly written words, deleting a total of 50 words	
* Words written today: 600
* Words deleted today: 1050
* Word count: -450

## Example 4
I start the day with 10,000 words in my project.
I write 2000 words over the course of the day.
I import 1000 words.
I paste 300 words.
I delete a chapter I wrote on a previous day that contains 3000 words.
I also delete 500 of the 2000 words I wrote today.
I write 4000 words in my notes.

| Activity | Qty |
| ---- |
| Written today | 2000 |
| Deleted today | 3500 |
| **Word count:** | **-200 on previous day** |
