FIXED Function As Background Filter

in Beast Mode

I have a headcount dashboard where I would like the cards to render 0 values in case of any filter combination resulting in the headcount <3. I created a beast mode calculation using fixed function to use it as a background filter in the cards. however when I am adding it to the cards and try to save it, it throws an error stating 'There was a problem saving your card. If the problem persists, contact Domo support team.'

Here is the beastmode I have -

SUM(COUNT(DISTINCT `EMPLOYEE_ID`) FIXED())

    @Sumant_Kumar707 According to this KB article, FIXED functions are not supported as filters. I'd suggest adding this as an enhancement request in the Ideas Exchange.

    Depending on the setup of the card/data, I think you should be able to change the Beastmode to just COUNT(DISTINCT EMPLOYEE_ID), add it as a Tooltip so that it's at the right level of aggregation and then use it as a filter.

    @MichelleH thanks for the KB article, it makes sense.

    @DavidChurchman I will try that and see if it works.

    Agreed with the others, I don't think you need the FIXED portion, as just a count(distinct) should filter it out. I had a client who did something similar and it worked great.
