Cumulative sum in qliksense for multiple dimensions

Hi there,

Im trying to calculate the cumulative sum in qlik. It is working fine when we have single dimension but when i try to include multiple dims then the cumulative sum is getting reset.

For example

Month Category Sales
Jan-25 Home Loans 100
Feb-25 Home Loans 100
Mar-25 Home Loans 100
Apr-25 Home Loans 100
May-25 Home Loans 100
Jun-25 Home Loans 100
Jul-25 Home Loans 100
Aug-25 Home Loans 100
Sep-25 Home Loans 100
Oct-25 Home Loans 100
Nov-25 Home Loans 100
Dec-25 Home Loans 100
Jan-25 Credit cards 200
Feb-25 Credit cards 200
Mar-25 Credit cards 200
Apr-25 Credit cards 200
May-25 Credit cards 200
Jun-25 Credit cards 200
Jul-25 Credit cards 200
Aug-25 Credit cards 200
Sep-25 Credit cards 200
Oct-25 Credit cards 200
Nov-25 Credit cards 200
Dec-25 Credit cards 200

for the above data what im looking for is the cumulative sum for Home loans for the month of Feb should be 200 and march 300 and so on. When i apply the formula the values that were generated were just the sum for that patricular month.

Formula used: rangesum(above(sum(sales),0,rowno())

 

Can u please suggest what can be done?

Hello, 

Here is a video that explains how to use cumulative sum:

make sure you sort your values by your column month  and Category in the load script

Hey thanks for a quick response.

Im looking more generic way the reason is in my charts i provide the users with alternate dimensions and it should cater to those dims also.

 

Is there something i can do about that?

use a pivot table instead of a simple table :
