Data

- Each record was an interaction with a customer and contained the date that the record was created.
Scope
The client needed to see the total accumulated number of records per week as a chart.
The Solution
We first created a new table called Weeks
and a linked field to the Data
table.
We then created an automation that would trigger once a week on Sunday morning.
It would first retrieve all the records in the Data
table by doing a Find Record
action on a view that contained all the records
We then created a new record in the Weeks
table that we then linked to all of the previously found records.
As such, each time the automation ran, it would create a new Week
record that contained all of the past records, as well as that past week's records.
This would create the accumulated data that would look like the following:
With this data, we then created a chart with the following options. The most important one is to toggle "Split multiple values" ON in the "X-axis" section
Which would result in the following
