Previous Time in Bar Chart

Hi,

I have a Bar Chart with Time (month and Year, like 'Dec 2010', 'Jan 2011', 'Fev 2011' and so on) as Dimension in X Axis.

For the color of the Bars, I need an expression for the Sum that uses 2 previous Dates for calculation.

Heres an example:

If the bar is in 'Jan 2011', for its color the Sum in the expression must use data from 'Jan 2011', Dec 2010' and Nov 2010'.

The field I use for this dimension in X is AnoMes (built with the union of Year and the number of the Month. For example: 'Jan 2010' corresponds the value 201001 for the AnoMes).

Any ideas how to do that ??

Thanks !!!

Look into using the 'Chart Inter Record' functions (Search the Help file) even though you're working with a Bar Chart the underlying Qlikview chart driving it is a Straight Table which is the case for all objects apart from Pivots that behave differently.

Start looking around the 'above()' function.

Hope that helps,
