How to convert a Beast Mode with a CASE function in it into an aggregation?

Hello everyone,

Please, do you know how to convert a Beast Mode with a CASE function in it into an aggregation?

I have tried adding a SUM() before the CASE function, I have tried converting the CASE into a number using CONVERT() or CAST().

Thanks in advance!

  • what code are you writing?


    SUM(CASE WHEN ... then AMOUNT END)

    should work fine

  • This is the formula (I changed the names of measures and dimensions):

    SUM(CASE 

    WHEN TRIM(`Car Model`)='Sport Car'

    THEN AVG(`Probability of Accident in Decimals`)

    ELSE 0

    END)

    I get the following error when I add the SUM function at the beginning: "An issue has occurred during processing. We are unable to complete the request at this time."

    We pull the Probability of Accident in Decimals from Salesforce, we don't calculate it in Domo. Depending on the car model the probability of accident in decimals changes. What happens is that because Domo doesn't see the beast mode as an aggregation then the subtotals and totals are the sum of the average of the probabilities. I need to convert the beast mode to aggregation in order to select average instead of sum.
