Line chart without measure functions in expression

I am trying to create a line chart with two dimensions and one expression.

Dimensions are WeekStart(Date) and Type

Expression is NumberX * [Total Value]

 

This gives me No data to display. But writing my expression as Sum(NumberX * [Total Value]) gives the line chart. But doing a Sum gives incorrect values. 

How do I use my NumberX * [Total Value] in Expression without using Sum or Count or any other aggregating measure function?

Hi @qlikwiz123 

Try like below

Sum(NumberX) * Sum([Total Value])

If both fields are in same table, you can try Sum(NumberX * [Total Value]).

i would check your values.

what this generally indicates that there is more than 1 value of NumberX or/and [Total Value] for weekstart and type combination.

my educated guess is this

i think you have data like below 

  
DateValue
2-Nov-202010
3-Nov-202020
4-Nov-20205
9-Nov-202030

 

so what happens when you have a dimension WeekStart(Date) is you get 3 values for 1-Nov-2020 (10,20,5)

this will not work.

And it will need some aggregation (sum or otherwise).

 

Share some sample data and example of desired output
