Cumulative Sales Reference Line

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I created a line chart with a dimension for day of sales transaction day([mydatefield]) and a measure for the cumulative sales.  what i would like to have in the chart is a reference line that is also a cumulative line across the days of the month.  this would be used to compare the pace of actual sales vs the rate to meet the monthly goal.

i have tried a few expression in the reference line expression area but all have failed.  would anyone know a way to accomplish this?

Thanks

Hi Matt,

I believe the reference line feature is just for a straight line that can be hard-coded or calculated to represent a single value. You may need to use a Combo chart with another calculated expression measure to perform as the reference line. Take a look at this thread where the request is similar - where they are using the calculated measure to plot a trend line:
