You need to be clearer about what you want (are trying to do). The date 
of individual transactions normally has little to do with what period 
you choose for an "Income Statement" (aka "profit and loss" aka 
"statement of revenues" depending on what sort of entity the books are for).

For example, suppose you chose "month" as the period (1st to last day of 
month). The every month would have ONE SS "check" as income no matter on 
which Wednesday of the month that was.
