Hello, I'm an absolute beginner at Qlik Sense so I apologize for that in advance. I have a basic spreadsheet I have ported in to Qlik that contains three columns: ID, Name and Date. What I would like to do is see whose name appears on this list more than 4 times. Then, I would like to create some script/visualization that indicates how many people have satisfied this condition of appearing more than 4 times. Since there are dates included, this process would happen over time; as the year went on, more and more people would eventually satisfy the condition. Ideally, I would like to see that represented as a line that goes up over time. It would start at 0, and in the case of this data set, would eventually end up at 33 percent (3 of the 9 people satisfy the condition by EOY). I'm looking to do this for a larger data set but need to understand the mechanics of how to do this before I do so. Thank you so much for your assistance!
i would create a bridge table that will implement your cumulative. it does it by associating all Dates prior to a Month so that if you use that Month field, you are summing all dates prior to it. the logic is lke this:
Date | Month |
1/1/2022 | 1/1/2022 |
1/1/2022 | 2/1/2022 |
2/1/2022 | 2/1/2022 |
1/1/2022 | 3/1/2022 |
2/1/2022 | 3/1/2022 |
3/1/2022 | 3/1/2022 |
so if 2/1/2022 Month is selected, 1/1/2022 and 2/1/2022 will be counted and so on.
