Hi Community,
I am working on a requirement in Performance Analytics / Platform Analytics where I need to display the cumulative count of open incidents week-wise for a specific time period.
I have created a weekly PA Indicator called “State Open Incidents Weekly”. The indicator is collecting the required weekly scores correctly, and I am using this Indicator as the data source in a Platform Analytics dashboard visualization.
For example, if the indicator scores for the selected weeks are:
I want the visualization to display the cumulative values as:
In the Platform Analytics visualization, I am using:
- Data Source: Indicator
- Indicator: State Open Incidents Weekly
- Frequency: Weekly
- Visualization: Column
- Time Aggregation: Year to date SUM
Using Year to date SUM gives me the cumulative behavior that I need. However, the issue is that the cumulative calculation starts from the beginning of the year (January 1).
My requirement is to start the cumulative calculation from a specific selected week/date, for example W27 2026, rather than from January 1.
If I select W27 2026 as the starting point, I want W27's score to be treated as the initial value and then add each subsequent week's score to the previous cumulative value.
I would like to know whether there is any configuration available in Performance Analytics / Platform Analytics to achieve a cumulative SUM for a custom time range rather than using the predefined Year-to-Date period.
Please refer the below screenshot -
Any suggestions or recommended approaches would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
