Group Total - Aggregated Series

Data_Devon · November 20

Community,

Is it possible to have a drill down that retains the prior level's aggregated top-level value?

I.e. I want to be able to drill down from an overview, into a series specific break out (And here's the kicker) while maintaining an additional series that displays the group total from the prior drill down.

For example, we have 7 locations, each with a given value, which can be aggregated to a group total.

Is it possible to somehow retain the "Group Total" series within the same chart?

Yes, you can. One way is to create an ETL that does the aggregate (total) and joins it back to the details.

location	value
location1	100
location2	200
location3	300

result after joining

location	value	group total
location1	100	600
location2	200	600
location3	300	600

Create a bar chart (or another card) using the value as the metric.

Add the "Group Total" as a secondary series, by adding it as an additional value in the "Series" field.

Adjust the series visualization (make the group total a line while keeping individual values as bars).

If you can't do the transform, another method would be to leverage "over".

SUM(Value) OVER ()
