Rank shifts based on historic sales data

Ranks each shift for an entire year based on the previous years sales data. This
will be used for commission-based industries such as the restaurant and
jewelry industry. For example in restaurants Christmas Eve is a very popular
day so that shift would be ranked higher than the day after Christmas.
Historical sales data for all 365 days a year
Industry based databases
A numeric ranking from 1-7 for each day of the week for every week of the
year.
Ideal shifts database table
The function will go through each days sales data and then rank the shifts on a
weeklong time scale for all 52 weeks. If sales data is missing then the function
will rank the shift as last and require a manual ranking. It will also use a year
long calendar to mark specific holidays.
