I wrote the sentence below.

"The table in your report shows that last week sales figure is (or was) $100,000"

The figures in the table are current but those are past sales records. In such a situation, should I be using
present or past tense?
 
It doesn't matter. I'd use 'was', but 'is' isn't wrong.
 
"The table in your report shows that last week's sales figure is (or was) $100,000."
See above. Every sentence requires one closing punctuation mark.
