Line Chart, choose date, accumulative sum?

[Anonymous]

Hello gurus.

I'm quite new to QlikView, and have some trouble with creating a line chart with accumulative values.

I've searched around, but either I suck at searching, or the answers and solutions I've tried haven't worked.

I'm creating a report regarding warehouse stock over time.

I have a data file giving me different movement types on products, quantities in/out date-wise (if you're familiar with SAP, it's the MB51-report).

Now, I want to have a line-chart that will give me total value of the stock on a selected date, and total quantities.

As this is a "balance", I need to sum from day one up to the selected date.

In a straight table, this expression does the trick, at least showing me the stock on a particular date;

Sum({<Date={"<=$(=max(Date))"}>} [Quantity])

But my line chart (using month/year as dimension) seems to sum the quantity movements each month instead of giving me the total quantity (= stock quantity).

Would anyone be helpful on this problem?

The in-going balance at the start in November 2011 shows a quantity of 171.000, and December 2011 shows 37.000.

But the stock quantity in December should be 171.000+37.000 = 208.000.

Just for the try of it, I switched Quantity to Amount (value).

It's working with Amount, but not Quantity.

Ok, I'm sorry - my bad.

Quantity was supposed to be [Qty in Base Unit]. It's working now, thanks!

Not sure and difficult to say why 1 works, but the other one doesn't
