Regression lines and aggregation

[rbartley]

Hi everyone,

I have created a regression line for a combo chart based on daily data that works fine.  The formula is:

linest_m(total aggr(if(Sum([Page Visits]),Sum([Page Visits])),[Action Date]),[Action Date])*
	only([Action Date])+linest_b(total aggr(if(Sum([Page Visits]),Sum([Page Visits])),[Action Date]),[Action Date])

However, I also need to be able to show the regression lines for average daily values by week and by month.  The formula for the weekly data is:

Aggr(Avg(Aggr(Sum(if([Page Visits],[Page Visits])), [Action_Date_Key])),[Action Week (Numeric)])

However, when I try to use this with the linest_m and linest_b functions, I get some strange results that don't appear to be on the same scale as I was expecting:

linest_m(Total Aggr(Avg(Aggr(Sum(if([Page Visits],[Page Visits])), [Action_Date_Key])),[Action Week (Numeric)]),[Action Week (Numeric)])

linest_b(Total Aggr(Avg(Aggr(Sum(if([Page Visits],[Page Visits])), [Action_Date_Key])),[Action Week (Numeric)]),[Action Week (Numeric)])

In the screen shot above, the average values range from 179 to 454, and when I export the data to Excel and create a scatter chart with a linear trendline, I see that  the slope value is -61.748 and the y-intercept is 431.59.  These are the values I am expecting to get from the linest_m and linest_b functions in Qlik Sense.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Richard
