Solved: Re: Perpetual balance of last 12 months - Qlik Community

Anonymous · ‎2016-09-12

Hi All,

Assume I have data Years, Month, Year-Month and monthly total. I need to generate Running Balance and show in a line chart for last twelve months only dimension being Year-Month. I want to it by calculated dimension or expression and not by Load Script.

Dimension being Year-Month, say if I select 2016-Aug or nothing (max date is 2016-Aug) it shows only balance of last 12 months as bold and underlined below in line chart.

There is a lot on community about running total for items like sales but not for balances.

Try this:

RangeSum(Above(TOTAL Sum({1}[Monthly Total]), 0, RowNo(TOTAL))) * Avg({<[Year-Month] = {"$(='>' & Date(AddMonths(Max([Year-Month]), -12), 'YYYY-MMM') & '<=' & Date(Max([Year-Month]), 'YYYY-MMM'))"}, Year, Month>} 1)

May be this:

RangeSum(Above(TOTAL Sum([Monthly Total], 0, RowNo(TOTAL))) * Avg({<[Month-Year] = {"$(='>=' & Date(AddMonths(Max([Month-Year]), -12), 'YYYY-MMM') & '<=' & Date(Max([Month-Year]), 'YYYY-MMM'))"}>} 1)

Here is a corrected expression with a sample

RangeSum(Above(TOTAL Sum([Monthly Total]), 0, RowNo(TOTAL))) * Avg({<[Year-Month] = {"$(='>' & Date(AddMonths(Max([Year-Month]), -12), 'YYYY-MMM') & '<=' & Date(Max([Year-Month]), 'YYYY-MMM'))"}>} 1)

stalwar1‌ Error in expression. I can't figure out the error.

Anonymous · ‎2016-09-12

Actually,above I give simple example. Actually I have daily transactional data and not monthly, so no monthly totals. I have actual data as below. Is this the reason of error? It's showing no data to display in chart.

Date ,Years,

Month,

Year-Month,

Amount

Did you look at the attached sample?

Anonymous · ‎2016-09-12

I am using PE version. How did you load Year-Month field?

Anonymous · ‎2016-09-12

I even tried with above sample data and your formula in separate qvw file but still not working.

sunny_talwar · ‎2016-09-12

Script:

Table:

LOAD Years,

Month,

Date(MakeDate(SubField([Year-Month], '-', 1), Num(Month(Date#(SubField([Year-Month], '-', 2), 'MMM')))), 'YYYY-MMM') as [Year-Month],

Num(Num#([Monthly Total], '#,##0.00;(#,##0.00)')) as [Monthly Total]

FROM

[https://community.qlik.com/thread/232302]

(html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @1);

Line Chart

[Year-Month]

Expression

RangeSum(Above(TOTAL Sum([Monthly Total]), 0, RowNo(TOTAL))) * Avg({<[Year-Month] = {"$(='>' & Date(AddMonths(Max([Year-Month]), -12), 'YYYY-MMM') & '<=' & Date(Max([Year-Month]), 'YYYY-MMM'))"}>} 1)

Hi Sunny

I appreciate your support. But if i select in Year and Month list, it's showing only one point and not last 12 months balance. Is there anyway to achieve it?
