How to create Cumulative Graph(bar chart) in Birt

Pooja RS

<p>i have to design a bar chart such that it displays data as a cumulative graph. </p><p> </p><p>on x axis , months is being plotted. ( the graph is plotted for one year behind from current date. i.e if i check in month of july it would display all months from june 2012 to july 2013)</p><p> </p><p>for every month, count of 5 different series to be plotted.</p><p> </p><p>records would have a field called called cycle ( which can have 5 different values... which forms 5 series in graph)</p><p> </p><p>record would be submitted on particular month and then cycle change could occur in some months... this data is possible to track.</p><p> </p><p>if record is submitted in month feb and its cycle=A, then in feb, count of A=1 for this record.</p><p>n next change occured only in march, cycle=B and same month cycle changed to C. ie cycle=C, then in feb also</p><p>count of A=1, but in march Count of C=1. </p><p> </p><p>i can track it only based on submitted date or modified date. so in feb thr is no way to trace it.</p><p>so if thr is no change then prev month state to be carried on and if changed then same month latest change to be taken ignoring all other changes in dat month.</p><p> </p><p>for every record this should happen</p><p> </p><p>once the record is submitted, from dat month n there on in every month til last month being displayed thr should count of dat state no matter its changed or not... n in every month it should be counted only once.</p><p> </p><p>Could you suggest me to create a bar chart like dis???</p><p> </p><p>or just give some idea to create a cumulative graph (bar chart) in birt???</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

<p>You are wanting to display a bar chart that shows June 2012 through July 2013 and then have one series show the total of all these months, am I understanding the requirements correctly?</p>
