To create a line chart in Python using plotly express with cumulative sum, you can follow these steps:

  1. Import the plotly express library:
 import plotly.express as px 
  1. Load or create the data that you want to plot as a line chart:
 data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] 
  1. Calculate the cumulative sum of the data using numpy:
 import numpy as np data_cumsum = np.cumsum(data) 
  1. Create a dataframe with the original data and the cumulative sum data:
 df = pd.DataFrame({ 'x': range(len(data)), 'y': data, 'cumulative_sum': data_cumsum }) 
  1. Plot the line chart using plotly express and the cumulative sum as the y-axis:
 fig = px.line(df, x='x', y='cumulative_sum') fig.show() 

Here's the complete code:

 import plotly.express as px import numpy as np import pandas as pd data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] data_cumsum = np.cumsum(data) df = pd.DataFrame({ 'x': range(len(data)), 'y': data, 'cumulative_sum': data_cumsum }) fig = px.line(df, x='x', y='cumulative_sum') fig.show() 

This will display a line chart with the cumulative sum of the data.
