Hi All,

Having a little trouble, trying to create a line chart based on dates and sum.
I've created a pivot chart to group all the same dates and sum them together per person.

[TABLE="width: 580"]
<colgroup><col><col><col><col><col><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]Sum of Amount[/TD]

Now what I want is for it to sum up as the days go on, so in the case of person X, gained 20 on the 15th, so it shows a positive 20, then they lost 6 on the 16th, so instead of showing -6, I want the graph to show a +14 on the 16th, then on the 17th lost 5 so a +9 on the chart and so on, if they have nothing it stays where its at so like on the 18th no loss or gain, so it still stays +9 on the line chart.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
