Re: Access Token Reporting
@DanBrinton building on this theme.
PROPOSAL
Domo should add a field "domo instance" to the "Access Token" Account type.
PROBLEM
An Access Token Account object does not store the instance that the account applies to. That's a bit of a mess b/c access tokens are not useful w/o the instance to point it at. same for a username and password combo.
IMPACT ON EXISTING USERS
Adding the field as an optional parameter would not affect any current implementations.
BENEFITS
currently you can only use Access Token accounts if you hardcode the instance into the name of the account (imagine if you had 50 instances). given that Domo makes renaming accounts somewhat obtuse (in fact the display name and the account name are two separate fields which may or may not match in the DomoJupyter config) it's imperative that we not rely on naming the the account appropriately for knowing which instance an account object is related to.
Re: DataFlow Failed with no usable explanation
👍️thanks David. I was not aware of this option and it is most helpful. thanks again for the quick response.
Re: How can I avoid denominator should not get filtered while calculating the percentage in beast mode
@david_cunningham, Thank you so much. My issue got resolved with your suggestion.
Re: Aggregation Issues with Beast Mode Calculation
Thank you both so much! It helped with my little test example. I will work on the larger version next.
Re: Aggregation Issues with Beast Mode Calculation
@Cara, the answer provided by @JedP is excellent and thorough. I'd just like to add on one bit that I think is helpful.
It's very important to think about where you're applying the aggregation context with case statements, and the order of operations when processing the beast mode.
case when Department = 'Finance' and MONTH(ScheduleDate) = 2 then SUM(TransactionNumber) end
is different from
SUM(case when Department = 'Finance' and MONTH(ScheduleDate) = 2 then TransactionNumber end)
In the first example, the case statement is evaluated after the aggregation takes place.
In the second, the aggregation takes place after the case statement has been evaluated.
These 2 can yield vastly different results depending on how you have your card configured.
Re: MongoDB connector not working with added field
The syntax appears to be correct; all commas and parentheses seem to be used properly. There may be an issue with the usage of $fourteenDaysAgo in the $match stage. In MongoDB, you typically use variables defined within an aggregation pipeline stage using the $$ notation, but here it's used as a string value.
