Graphing a cumulative count by month: Can it be done?

J

J. Keggerlord

I am trying to not use any add-ins or BI tools. I'm wanting to use a pivot
table to create a histogram (graph) that shows:

A.) Count of new action items for the week
B.) Count of action items resolved for the week
C.) The cumulative count of unresolved action items for the week

My columns are in a table called tblMain and I figured I could get by using
columns [ID] (a unique ID number) and [DateComplete] (a short date).
Filtering out the action items that weren't completed is easy enough using a
"null" qualifier for the date field if it's not yet resolved and using a
count function works well to get the number of new items added to the
database for that week (as well as the resolved items). What is killing me
is the cumulative count of open action items! I have no idea where to even
start on this one. Any ideas?
