Solved: Sum for different months - Qlik Community

a_brancati · ‎2017-10-20

Hello everybody! I have this kind of table

Months Sales

January 50

January 60

Fabruary 60

March 100

March 10

March 30

I would like to a have a stacked column chart that shows the sum of sales per month. If I use sum (Sales) I'll have 310, instead I would like to have Jan 110, Fabr 160 etc.

Thank you very much!

OK so I thought about it for a second and made the attached which is what you want I believe.

This time it uses "Year" for the stacked bar and "Month" for the data segments

If you use Months as a dimension and Sum(Sales) as the measure, that's precisely what you will get.

Hi Jonathan! Sorry, yes the output was 160. I would like to have one bar with all the monthly misures on one bar, so I can't put the month for dimension.

Thank you.

Hi Anna, you just need to set the style in your chart as stacked and add a second dimension for month. Maybe if you post your application it would be easier to help

Stacked bar charts need either; two dimensions, one expressions OR one dimension, multiple expressions.

I have attached an example where I added a new field "Year" and have 2 years of data. the stacked chart now shows the 2 years figures combined in a stacked chart.
