Because the last year is always incomplete, you might want to annualize or normalize the numbers:

Use last year's complete data as numerator
Use number of deposits with some Stata code (or Stata keyword) as a numerator
then prorate the ongoing year to take into account the partial year effect.

Avoids the dip, but has a dashboard-feel ("are we on track to having the same number as last year")

They are not mutually exclusive.

Thanks for the feedback.

Some questions:

Points 1 & 2 are used as the numerator, did you mean last year's complete data should be the denominator?
Point 2: that means adding more keywords besides replication code?
