Some negative impacts of the new feature merged beastmode
Hi all, Recently there is a newly added Domo feature where the 'Merged from datasource..." beast modes will be created when cards that are using the beast modes are moved to a new DataSet. But we found that this new feature has an effect on the previous data source as well : domo will rename all the beastmodes merged…

Beast mode function to read attributes from end-user profiles.
It would be neat if I could create a beast mode that dynamically did something based on the current users trusted attributes. Something along the lines of: CASE WHEN ATTRIBUTE('Role') = 'Manager' THEN <X> ELSE <Y> END Or even be able to read the timezone from their profile so you can do real-time timezone…

Create Nested Beast Mode that nest more than two levels
Can we have it that we can nest beast within each other for more than two levels? I would like to create a beast using another beast mode and then use that to create another beast mode. The way I understand it, domo does not let us do this. For instance, beast mode 1= CASE WHEN 'column a'= '1' THEN 'column b' END beast…

Expanding Beast Mode to formula
With the new nested beast mode feature, we can use an existing beast mode in another beast mode. But sometimes it is helpful to see the formula of the old beast mode, and not just the name. Adding an option to expand a beast mode field back to the formula by double-clicking the name could be useful in some cases, and can…

Quick toggle to exclude "Today"
In a report set for "last 7 days", Domo will automatically include the current date if your dataset has rows representing that date. I have many datasets with rows for the future, where the data isn't filled in yet. In order to get today's date to be suppressed in the report, I have to write a Beast Mode: case when `Date…

Nested Beast Modes (need to still be able to insert beast mode text if we are only allowed 1 level)
Glad to see DOMO is allowing for nested beast modes now. It would be nice if they would allow references to beast modes that have beast modes referenced within them, but it seems like this is a beta launch and are working towards that. IDEA: While it is not possible to reference a beast mode that references another beast…

Beastmode Preview
When selecting "Validate" for a beastmode it would be nice to have a preview presented at the bottom of the window pane. Then you can see if it is behaving as intended with columns used in the beastmode next to the outcome to compare. It would also be nice to see a more in-depth error as to why it did not validate.
-
Window Function KB article
Domo does not appear to have a KB article for window functions despite having one for (newer) Fixed Functions. It would be nice to have both. Additionally it would be ideal if the Functions list in Beast Mode editor included all the available functions including window functions or statistical functions (MEDIAN() ) once…

Static Rank beast mode
When creating multiple ranking tiles in ETL, the performance is significantly slowed and the dataflow takes hours to run, in comparison with less than 1 hour without ranking tiles. Therefore, I would like to be able to use beast modes to create static rankings. Currently, if you use the rank function in a beast mode, the…

Tab Autocomplete Messed Up
For years when pressing tab on the keyboard when in a DOMO code editor it has functioned like an auto complete or a tab space entry, however recently this functionality has broken. Tab no longer autocompletes nor does it allow to add quick spacing for code readability. Instead, it moves to the next element in the beastmode…

Description for Calculated Fields
I would like to have the ability to attach a description to a Beastmode field similar to what we can do with a regular field when viewing a dataset in the data center:
-
Function request
Can a function be added to format numbers as currency in Beast Mode for use in card summary values? For example: Value: 123456789.01234 CURRENCY(‘123456789.01234’, ‘$’) RESULT: $123,456,789.01 Where 2nd argument of CURRENCY(value, opt symbol) is optional currency symbol to use.

Beast Mode Function to Hide/Show Columns in a table
E.g. case when metrictype='Actual' then showcolumns(1,3,4) when metrictype='Budget' then showcolumns(2,5,6) else showcolumns(all) end
-
NUMBER_FORMAT function
Please consider the implementation of a NUMBER_FORMAT function in Beast Mode in the same vein that we have DATE_FORMAT and TIME_FORMAT. This would take a number, and based on parameters, format the number (add thousand separator commas, percent sign, currency sign). Numerous discussions have been had in the forums about…
-
Fixed Functions... fixed
I would like the ability to pass the date grain from the card or page into a fixed function as a variable. Currently, I have a fixed function that is fixed by month for example. This works perfectly when the card or the dashboard it is used in is set to look at the data at a monthly level. However, I would like to be able…

Run DataFlow break/throttle
A tile within Magic ETL that you can insert inside a DataFlow that allows you to throttle the number of rows/calculations that continue past that point - including a full stop (0%. Use Case: I would use this whilst building out complex workflows so that I can test the parts of the workflow I want to test without using up…

Make it so that beast modes based on variables are usable on custom app cards
When creating a custom app card, I wanted to use a beast mode that includes a variable on my custom card. The beast mode returned to the custom card will always return the value as if the variable was the default value, even if it has been changed on the page. It would be good if the value from the beast mode (based on the…

Reuse Beast Mode field in another calcuation
Requesting to allow Beast Mode field created in a card to be used in another calculation. This feature is currently available in the "Add Formula" function in Magic ETL but not for beast mode calculations done in Analyzer.

Option to Save Beast Modes to Dataset by Default
It would be beneficial in reducing duplicate Beast Modes to have an instance level option to select the save to dataset on all new Beast Modes by default.
-
Add REGEX functions to Beast Mode
REGEX functions are currently supported in the MagicETL formula tiles, but not in beast mode. It would be helpful to have these added to Beast Mode.

Trigonometric Functions in Beastmode
We are trying to find a viable way to be able to enter a variable (zip code) and locate all records that are within a given radius distance of the zip code. This requires trig functions as well as variables. We are utilizing the beta variables version and trying to build this out. We have discovered that trigonometric…

FIXED functions are difficult to understand and should be rolled into WINDOW functions
the FIXED function KB, https://domohelp.domo.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408174643607-Beast-Mode-FIXED-Functions, fails to differentiate it's functionality to WINDOW functions (despite using similar language). By borrowing from WINDOW function syntax FIXED functions mislead users as to what’s happening under the covers making…
-
IF Statement Inside Beast Modes
Currently, you can use the IF statement inside of DataFlows (both MySQL and Magic ETL v2). However, this function is not available in Beast Modes. Most CASE statements I write are small and simple enough (they only have two outputs) that I could write them in an IF statement. IF statements are simpler to write and take up…

Beast Mode Editor Formula List Consistency
The list of formulas displayed in the beast mode editor in the different areas of Domo (Formula tile in Magic ETL, Analyzer, Views) display a different list of functions. The Formula tile contains the most comprehensive list and 99% of the functions listed work in Analyzer and Views even though they aren't listed when…

Expose date filter's start & end date inside beast mode
The date range filter will always have a start and end date. I would like Domo to expose that start date/end date inside a calculated field as variables. My workaround is to have the same variable for fixed date ranges (MTD, YTD, etc) This would not be the case if Domo exposed the date filter variables inside Beast Mode…

Grand Total summing the percentage instead of calculating
Every time we bring in any kind of calculated difference to the table, we get a grand total that sums up all the percentages. For instance, for this Table, the rightmost column is calculating the difference between the two left columns. Every row is correct except for the Grand Total which sums up the percentage together…

Week Display Configuration
At present, the only configuration Admins have over how weeks value are being displayed in cards is either to show the week number format, or the week dates. This is good but is missing many week configurations which I think most people would appreciate. I would be keen if Domo can enable to following in Admin console: Set…
-
Comment and Save Versions for Beastmodes
It would be great if beastmodes had a comment and save version function just like when we update dataflows. When we update the dataflow (in Magic ETL), it really helps to have the comment section for version updates. If we have something similar for beastmodes, it would be helpful as we can understand why certain…

Add Beastmode Link to Formatting Dropdown for Columns Used in a Viz
Seems odds that it is so difficult to find and open beastmodes that are actively used in a card. Would love it if there was a link added to the dropdown menu where the column formatting options are. There are many times users need to go troubleshoot a BM but we have to go search through all BMs just to get to the ones that…
