# How many new patients came in a period, and from which source?

> Count new patients for any dates, and see which referral source they came from and what they paid.

**Short answer:** **Analytics → Patients** shows how many new patients you had in the chosen dates. **Analytics → Referral Statement** with **New Customers Only** ticked shows the revenue from each referral source.

**1. Count new patients**

Go to **Analytics → Patients**, set the **Date range** and, if needed, the **Branch**. The new patients chart shows the count.

**2. See where they came from**

Open **Analytics → Referral Statement** with the same dates and tick **New Customers Only**. It shows the totals for each referral source ("How did you hear about us?").

**3. Need the names?**

Open **Patients** from the side menu and filter by dates and **referral**. Download the list if you need it in Excel.

> [!NOTE]
>
> With **New Customers Only**, a patient counts only if their **first payment** was in the chosen dates. The referral source must be filled in on the patient file for this report to be useful.
