Do you feel that you are Tableau Expert? Then try this challenge 17

Hello all…

Here I am coming with an interesting challenge. It might look simple. Yes, all my challenges are simple. Sometimes you might guess trick sometimes you may not. Lot of people succeeded in guessing trick for challenge 16. Now it’s time for challenge 17. I am sure it’s not as simple as challenge 16.

Note: Surprisingly this is working fine in 9.1 version. It won’t be a challenge in 9.1 version. But when I tried this in 10.1 version I felt it like a challenge.

Look at the data set below. It just monthly sales data for 2016 and 2017.

Note:
·         I don’t have sales for Jan 2017 and Sales data is there till Sep 2017.
·         Copy and paste above data to solve this challenge.

Below you can see the line graph draw using given data



                                   
I would like to show cumulative (Running total) sales line chart. You can see below



Now the challenge starts…

You can see that orange line indicates 2017 sales. In data set I don’t have data after Sep month in 2017. As I am doing cumulative or running sum so it is showing 400 after Sep also. I don’t want to show 400 for all other months which does not have data and orange line should start from Jan.

So, you should get solution like below.
