  • Yes, you can create a cumulative line chart. To do so, you:
    - Create a parent table to the table with the data points
    - Add a summary field to the parent table to total the data in the child table
    - Pass the summary field back to the child table
    - Create a snapshot field in the child table to hold and lock the summary field you passed back
    - Create a formula field in the child table that add the data point to the snapshot field.

      This is ridiculously complex. QBase should implement a simple method.

      I'm confused about the sequence of this post, somehow Matt responded before your "complaint".  Anyways, I agree with Matt, Waterfall charts are great for cumulative and they are very stupid simple to set up, and I'm all about stupid simple wherever possible.
