You mean you need the opposite of what a normal counter accomplishes?

You get some kind of value starting at zero each time you poll (just
like ABSOLUTE) and need to graph the total (as with GAUGE) ?

It is probably best to gather the numbers using a separate script,
add them to the grand total and feed this grand total to MRTG
(using the external program interface).

This being said, I think you really should use another program, such
as excel, in stead of creating a workaround using MRTG.
