Trying to understand why a line Bar behaves the way it does

Hi,

I am trying to understand why a line bar is behaving the way it does. I have a bar chart that is correct the field is summed.

However,

as soon as I add a line bar it seems to sum each column before it. The aggregation for the bar is the same (sum) and for the line ive tried every aggregation to try and get it to look normal. Nothing works.

    It seems like you have a running total option selected. Assuming you are using the Line Bar chart type, go to your Chart Properties and make sure the Number of Running Total Bars is set to None.

    @ColinHaze Do you have either of these options set to something besides the default?

    What is the card type you selected, there are several that look the same but behave differently, make sure you' re using line + Stacked

    Also make sure the option for number of running total bars is set to none:
