Re: Failed to convert value '(137.790)' from type string to type floating point
@kim_barragan0126 It looks like the parenthesis around the value are preventing it from converting to a floating decimal. You will have to remove those characters before converting the datatype using a formula. Do you know if the parenthesis represent a negative number, like in an accounting format?
Re: Beast Mode
Hey TMonty,
You will need to create a conditional column:
case when `timestamp` = max(`timestamp`) over() then 'Yes' else 'No' end
However, this will require that you have a timestamp column.
If you do not have a timestamp column, you can make one by appending the date and time columns and converting to timestamp format.

Can I use the result of an aggregate beast mode as a filter for a dashboard/app page?
I have a beast mode that is comparing actual performance to a target (by categories) by taking the sum of actuals - sum of targets over an arbitrary date range, defined by user input into variables on the dashboard page. This works great as a quick filter control for an individual card, but when I make a filter card using that beast mode and put it on a dashboard with the cards it was able to filter as a quick filter, it doesn't apply to any of the cards on the dashboard.
I'm assuming an aggregate function used as a filter needs the context of the specific card it applies to to determine which rows it should filter. But I thought I'd ask in case someone knows where I'm going wrong or knows how to work around this. I don't think I can determine performance in the ETL because of the variable date range option on the dashboard (They can select any start/end date in the last 2 years).
Thanks!
EDIT: First comment made me realize I should have mentioned the beast mode is saved to the dataset! Thanks Colemen.
EDIT 2: Problem was user error; I was using FIXED functions in the sums which I failed to revert after realizing how to get the results I needed without them.

Have you saved the beastmode to the dataset?
Re: Workflow Configuration
jbroby, sorry you’re having issues. I’d encourage you to check out the “Getting Started with Workflows” training at learndomo.domo.com. We go through a very similar use case.
To help validate your query, I’d try ditching the where clause. I’m guessing it’s something to do with your arrow function (if that’s really part of your query). If that works, build from there.
I’ve done lots of where clauses with dates but always done a date_sub
Re: Can my output include projects that don't have a column value for a Split / Group
Hi nmizzel - thanks for the quick reply.
Here's a very simple example of the input and the desired output
The issue is that I cannot see Project4 in the Output, but I suspect it's being removed at the Split action, since it has no Div values set.
Thanks
Re: Can my output include projects that don't have a column value for a Split / Group
If that is the case, you could add a path to your ETL that filters to only rows with null values for Div and then append those to the rest of your data.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, Colemen. Got it working with this:
