how to visualize inflow and outflow of data - data-visualization

suppose there're 3 items with their respective vol:
a b c
12 20 28
each has a certain vol added and subtracted
a b c
added 3 5 12
subtracted 2 7 8
What format can best visualize the dynamics of inflow and outflow as such, even if number of items are far more than 3?

As I commented above, one visualization you could use would actually be a combination of a line chart, to show the running overall trend of the volume, along with a bar for each day, to show the positive or negative gain for that day. In the financial world, there is already such a chart, called a candlestick chart. Here is sample of one:
The way to read the chart is that the circle is where the trend ended in that year. But the start of the bar (below for losses, above for gains) is where the value actually started in that year. This is a convenient way to convey both pieces of information which you want to get across to your audience.

price rate of change over 12 periods using padas dataframe

dears
I want to calculate the price rate of change by dividing the today's price with price 12 periods ago
"df.close" is the my data where I want to calculate the rate of change.
please guide me
I was unable to try anything because I felt it is the window of 12 days but not a continuous window
I see some similar replies but those are some big codes not relevant to me. I simply need one line to call the price 12 days ago and divide it
thank you.

SSRS Bar Chart Filtering Incorrectly

I am trying to create a chart showing the 10 highest-performing teams according to their "proportion of target achieved" score.
My dataset comprises every day worked by every individual in my organisation. The data is grouped in a stored procedure by month, team, job role, area of the organisation...
My SSRS report takes this data and sums it at a report level, based on a half-dozen parameters (mainly to the above groups).
The data is presented via a table, showing (for a given person/group/category) the hours worked, actual contact time (time with clients), expected contact time (time they're meant to spend with clients), and the proportion of their target they are achieving (actual contact time / expected contact time). All of this is reported for each of the last 6 months.
I.e.
I wanted to create a bar chart showing the 10 teams with the highest proportion of target achieved values. This variable is calculated in SSRS in order to allow for the data to be more flexible.
SSRS wouldn't let me use that calculation in a chart filter, so I added a denserank (called TeamOrder) for the teams in the stored procedure.
This is where the issue arises.
TeamOrder is used in the filter, and set to <= 10. 10 teams are displayed in the graph, but not the 10 that have values of TeamOrder equal to 1-10. The top couple are right, but in 10th position, for example, it's displaying the 32nd-best team.
Weirdly, when I set the filter to TeamOrder = [value], then it displays the one (correct) team (including the correct number 10 when TeamOrder = 10).
I'm at a complete loss as to what might be happening; any help would be enormously appreciated.

QlikView: Displaying Charts in Grouped Style

I created a bar chart with 3 dimensions:
Year
Quarter
Senario
And I have one expression (Sum(Sales)).
Year, Quarter, and Scenario are displayed on the X axis.
The problem is Scenario bars is displayed in Stacked and not in Grouped style. In the Properties->Stlye->Subtype window, the Grouped and Stacked options are grayed out - the system does not allow me to choose either one of them.
How can I display Scenarios in Grouped stlye?
The problem seems to be QV cannot handle more than 2 dimensions without stacking.
I would suggest to either create a new dimension variable (for example Year & Quarter) so that you only have 2 dimension variables (Year&Quarter and Region):
Or to create a drill down group on Year -> Quarter.
In the end, I guess that it will be a matter of taste.
If you have 3 dimensions QlikView doesn't know which one to stack so removes the option.
So to solve this it groups the second dimension and stacks the 3rd
Example:
So if you switch the dimensions around I imagine you can get what you want. Unless you want Scenarios to stack and Quarters to stack, that is not possible , but I donn't know that the resultant graph would make sense.

Tableau - Adding dimensions together to show overall revenue

I am very new to Tableau (first day user) and have been a long time Excel user. I am trying to fully understand the power of Tableau to eventually move away from Excel.
I have a question concerning dimensions and creating a calculated field.
My table has multiple categories and sub-categories. My goal is to display the total revenue and average order value per chosen sub-category (this seems easy enough).
I want to then take those sub-categories and show a combined sum of revenue and average of the average order value. I am stuck on trying to also combine these sub-categories to show a blended view.
Furthermore, the 2 sub-categories are weighted very differently. The average order value of 1 has a much heavier weight than the other and will definitely affect the AOV when combined. How do you also assign a weight to this combined total?
Any help will be much appreciated. I know this may be a rather simple solution but I am new to the program and am having difficulty finding this answer.

Best,

Put sub categories in the rows column.
Put sum revenue in the text pill in the marks section
In the analysis tab on the top select column grand totals.
I'm unable to see your images,i hope this answers a apart of your question.

SSRS chart grouping

My company makes various products that go through specific manufacturing steps.
I have an SSRS report that graphs the following per step: quantity today as a bar, and then markers of quantity yesterday, the goal for the day, how many items moved in to the step today and how many moved out.
In the chart data area, I have a category group of step and a sum of values of all of the numbers. I don't have anything in the series group area. (I'm using VS 2013, also.)
The users would like to add a grouping to quantity today -- a stacked bar by product by step, but still keep the rest the same (the quantity yesterday, goal, in and out would still be by step only).
I am not sure how or if I can group on something for one value, but not for the other values.
I've tried using the series groups, or adding another category group, but nothing is quite right.
Thoughts? Thank you!
I added two more fields to the dataset, in addition to quantity today -- quantity special and a calculated field of quantity today minus quantity special (the remainder).
I then modified the SSRS report to NOT chart quantity today, but chart quantity special and the remainder (in the values area). I changed these both to a stacked bar.
When there is no special data, quantity today- quantity special = the original. When there is, special + remainder = the total.
