Cyclical reporting through active filters
I am trying to loop through selections on a filter to create a cyclical report. This first screenshot is the closest example I could find in online documentation: The problem is that the first green blob "Fetch dimension…" doesn't actually exist anymore, nor would it select active filters. The closest I could find is this…
Histogram buckets and data limit
Is there a setting for the bucket size or count with histograms? I don't see one. If not, I'd be looking for the next easiest alternative to simulating buckets with Astrato. Also, I see that there's a limit to 100,000 values making it into the histogram. Is this related to the buckets? A lot of the data is being cut off…
Changing format of data within filter slider
I created a filter slider for my workbook with a date, which I'd like to be formatted with one of the options from the dropdown. However it doesn't seem to change how the dates appear. Am I missing something? Or would I have to create a new field that reformats the date? Thanks!
Query timed out trying to make custom measure
I'm very new to Astrato. I'm trying to make a custom measure based on multiplying some aggregates of two fields from different tables that are joined. I'm getting a query time out trying to save the measure. Any troubleshooting tips? Thanks!
Line chart for dates
I'm pretty new to BI world and stumped on creating a line chart for dates. My chart is flat instead of curved as it should be. My dimension is Report Date and my measure is Count Report Date. What I'm trying to show is the number is reports made on X date (time excluded).
Is it possible to connect to tables on different databases without a customized query?
Whenever I create a data connection it forces me to select a database. I need to create a data model that resides in different databases. Is it possible to do that from the interface without a customized query?
AStrato Use of Variables in SQL Queries
I want to ask for some help. I want to select a value from a SQL table, and save the selected value as it is shown in the 1st line in the Snowflake Code Sample image below. And I want to use that variable as a table in a simple select query with some where filters (Snowflake Code Sample image). The code works in SQL,…
How to use a variable as a customized dimension in a chart
I’m trying to use a variable as a customized/selectable dimension, but I think I’m missing something. I attach gif to show what I’m trying. Thanks!
Map ETA?
Howdy y'all, Do we have an ETA for when the map feature will be available? Need to plot data on X,Y coordinates with a custom background. Kind regards, Yogi Achilleos
New Export to PDF/JPG Actions! :)
New action blocks have been introduced that allow you to print objects, sheets, or group of objects to Image or PDF :) It can easily be combined with other action blocks, such as selections in filters... How about rotating through a list of dimension values, and printing the reports with filters applied? :)
