I have a table pan which is time series aggregation. I'm happy with everything exception of the labels, which are "Metric" and "Current", provided by Grafana or Graphite.
Is it possible for me to override these labels?

This seems like it would be so easy but I just can't figure it out. I want a simple bar chart showing me the event value of this event. Here's the result of 6 days of data, 1800 is the total value:
I just need a chart that gathers the sum of event value for each day and graphs it by day.
How can I do this?!!! I have lots of different custom events recorded in Analytics so I know I'll need to filter where Event Action = "Retention Emails Sent", but I can't sort out where/how to do that in Data Studio. Thank you.
Add a bar chart to your report page in Data Studio. Add Date as Dimension, and Event Value as Metric. Then create a Bar Chart filter Include > Event Action Equal to (=) > Retention Emails Sent
I want to create a heatmap in Google Datastudio similar to the "Users by time of day" heatmap in Google Analytics.
This is how it looks in Google Analytics.
THE FIRST PROBLEM is that when I have my columns as the days of the week, it sorts on ascending/descending value alphabetically, NOT Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc.
THE SECOND PROBLEM is that I can't actually get the heatmap coloring.
THE THIRD (not a problem, but a preference)...is there a way to group every 2 hours like Google Analytics does?
I am creating this using the PIVOT TABLE chart. Should I be using a different chart? Any other ideas?
You can get something pretty close by doing this. Add a Pivot table, and modify the following settings.
Row Dimension - Hour
Column Dimension - Day of week
Metric - Users
Sort Row 1 - Hour - Ascending
Sort Column 1 - Day of Week Ascending
Then under the Style tab
Metric - change from Number to Heatmap
For the 2h interval I solved it by going in to the data source editor, click count on hour then it creates a copy that takes a formula, so i entered the formula
CASE
WHEN HOUR IN ("00","01") THEN "00-02"
...
...
...
WHEN HOUR IN ("22","23") THEN "22-00"
ELSE "Other"
END
I've recently written a tutorial on how to create this report in Data Studio.
As a summary, you need to use a "Pivot table with heatmap". Use Hour of Day as your Row Dimension, and a calculated field for Day of the Week as your Column Dimension. The code for the calculated field is in my post and it essentially adds a number before the name of the day so you can sort them alphabetically. Then, add your Metric: Sessions.
There is also a link to the dashboard that I made publicly available for anyone to copy and apply their own data.

I curled the sample bank data to elasticsearch. On Kibana I see under the Indices bank and on visualize all the fields (age, balance, etc.) on the left but cannot see charts on the right. It always says No Results Found. On the left I selected Y-Axis - Agg as Average and Field as Balance and X-Axis Agg as Terms and Field as Age, all from drop downs. Then I used the APPLY action. No error is displayed, but neither is a chart.
What am I doing wrong here? Using curl I can check the elastic search and see that the data exists. No matter what I do, I do not see any logging in the elasticsearch logs under /usr/share/elasticsearch/logs.
I don't know if you figured this out or not but I had the exact same problem. I was using a mapping type that did not contain the field I was trying to visualize. Make sure the _type field contains a mapping with the correct indexed fields.
When setting up my initial index patterns, I glossed over specifying the 'Default timestamp' field, and the UI didn't insist on having one. The fix was to delete my index patterns and re-create them them, with the specified timestamp field. Everything snapped into place.
I am working with SSRS and having trouble creating a graphical chart to display data. My dataset is very simple, as it only has one column which is a datetime field (known as CreatedOn).
My SQL query is:
SELECT [CreatedOn]
FROM [Incident]
WHERE CreatedOn > DATEADD(m,-11, DATEADD(
month, DATEDIFF(month, 0,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), 0))
My goal is to have the query results show up in a chart and have them grouped by year and by month, as well as sorted. For example, I should be able to see that 40 incidents were created in February 2005. Those 40 incidents would be represented graphically as a single bar (it is a bar graph) with the number 40 on top (or somewhere).
My issue is that either my chart shows up completely blank, or the report fails to run. When it fails to run, the error I receive is:
the value expression for field 'CreatedOn' contains an error: conversion from string 'CreatedOn' to type 'Date' is not valid.
I have tried using SSRS expressions on the CreatedOn field, such as CDate() and FormateDateTime(). That does get the report to run, but the chart shows up blank. I would not think that the field should have to be formatted or converted in SSRS since it is already a datetime field at the database level. I have tried about 10 different combinations of groupings and sorts, but my chart always shows up blank. I have even used CDate() and so forth in the grouping and sort expressions which are a part of the chart.
How can I get my bar chart to work (a.k.a. show datetimes, grouped and sorted)?
I am going to go off the assumption:
You have more data being pulled than just the ‘CreatedOn’ field.
a. Because if you don't it will be difficult to create a chart as you have nothing else to compare it too.
If this is an accurate assumption here is an example of how to create a chart and have the data formatted by dates.
When designing a chart you need to take a lot into consideration. First I like to ensure that I have as little null data as possible. This causes charts to act wonky (at least from my experience).
Second is how the data will be represented.
We have several things to consider when we think about charts and groups.
There are Category groups, Series groups, and then the Values.
According to Microsoft: charts have a direct similarity to Matrix’s. They act the same way:
The Column groups of a Matrix are similar to that of the Category Groups in a chart.
The Row groups of a Matrix are similar to that of the Series Groups in a chart.
The Data area of a Matrix is similar to that of the Values Groups in a chart.
Setting Up the chart:
If we want the number of Incidents sorted by Year and then Month it might look something like this:
Year by Category (You can use your group by Expression here) =Year(Fields!CreatedOn.Value)
Incidents will be in the Values section =Count(Fields!Incidents.Value)
Once you have that working and showing data I would then start adding in the data for the month. Again thinking about how you want to have the data displayed. You could then add a second Grouping on the category under the other one with your month function.

*Side Note: When dealing with dates it can be a little tricky especially if SSRS is not recognizing something as a date. Here is a useful link that I have used when dealing with dates.
Dates
I hope this helped!
The issue was that the CreatedOn date field was not being defined correctly.
My data source was defined using an expression which depended upon parameters, using the expression: ="Data Source=sql01;" & "Initial Catalog=" & Parameters!ParentID.Value. Because the dataset must be defined at the runtime of the report, I was not able to refresh fields in the dataset using the "Refresh Fields" button.
I thought that I could work around this by defining the CreatedOn field manually. On the first attempt, SSRS threw an error at runtime claiming that I was trying to convert a string to a date, which basically meant that it perceived the CreatedOn field as defined within the dataset as a string. So I then tried to use the CDate() expression in the definition of the field, but that left me with a completely blank graph.
The solution was to:
Delete all of the fields I already had defined within the dataset
Temporarily hard-code my data source to use a database (Data Source=sql01;Initial Catalog=MyDatabaseName)
Click the "Refresh Fields" button within the dataset
Go back at set the data source to the original data source I wanted which depended upon parameters.
I need to create a donor summary report that provides total donations by donor by year.
I need to provide
name address email yr1total yr2total etc...
It looks like salesforce only allows two columns in row headings and two columns in column headings. Is there a way to work around this
Or, is there a way to use the tabular report to do the same?
TIA
If donations is a single field on the donor's record, it seems like what you're looking to do is attempt to display two columns for the same data within a report. The best way to do this (well, outside of creating a master-detail relationship with a new custom object named "Donations") would to have formula fields for each of the donation years, and calculate the donation sums in each of them. That is, as long as you have a way of calculating the year of the donation.
I believe to get the best answer, more information is needed.
Something like this? This will work if your donation is a separate object that's linked to Account (I've used Tasks & Events linked to Accounts in my example).
Create a report in "Matrix format".
Drop Account Name on the left pane, Donation's Date on the columns.
Columns will default to days. Click the dropdown in the place where I have "Created Date" and select summarizing by year (of course fine-tune to whatever you need).
Check date ranges / filter criteria etc obviously if you don't see all data.
Click Show -> Hide details.
Drop your "Donation Amount" or similar field into place where "Record Count" is displayed. Use "Sum".
Optionally deselect Show -> Record Count.
Now you're mentioning that there are only 2 columns so you probably already tried this. Well, common trick is to cheat by using a formula field that would hold your data (separated by comma maybe?). Tabular report would require you to create some helper fields (1 per year) on Account and do some kind of rollup summaries, messy.
If it's for a dashboard you could play with summary report (it can have more groups than 2) and pick chart type table on the dashboard...
