Adding a Table Calculation

Our new Dashboard feature is available upon request for the initial launch phase. Please contact your Customer Success Manager if you'd like to schedule implementation with our Services team.

Overview

Table Calculations allows users to create new columns of data based on predefined aggregate functions (e.g., Running Average, Running Sum, Running Min, etc.) using Column Data from the Columns loaded in the Columns field.

Calculation Type Dropdown

  • Running Average (RAVG): The Running Average type calculates a new average by dividing the first row's value in the source column (Column dropdown menu) by the numb0er of row values (1). To calculate the next value, you would add the first two row values from the source column, divide by the number of row values (2), and so on. 
  • Running Sum (RSUM): The Running Sum type calculates a new sum value by adding the value in the source column (Column dropdown menu) to the value from the previous rows in the source Column.
  • Running Min (RMIN): The Running Minimum type compares the value in the current row in the source column (Column dropdown menu) to the previous minimum value. If the value in the source column is less than the previously computed minimum value, then the new running minimum value is updated with the lower value. 
  • Running Max (RMAX): The Running Maximum type compares the value in the current row from the source column (Column dropdown menu) to the previous maximum value. If the value in the source column exceeds the previously computed maximum value, the new running maximum value is updated with the higher value. 
  • Difference: The Difference type is a row-by-row type of calculation that compares the difference between two values (the current value subtracted from the previous value) of an aggregated column. The calculation is recalculated every time an event is applied to the chart, such as sorting, filtering, new records added, groups edited/removed/added, or when max data points are applied.
  • % Difference: The Percent Difference type is a row-by-row calculation. The calculation is performed on a table-down basis. All values in the column are consistently compared to the same value in the previous row throughout the entire Table. The calculation is recalculated every time that an event is applied to the chart (e.g., Sorting, Filtering, New Records, Groups edited/removed/added, and Max Data points applied). The calculation is based on the following formula:
    • Percent Difference = (value - previous value) x 100 / previous value
  1. Select a Level from the Level dropdown menu. The Level dropdown appears when more than one group is loaded in the Group field. The Level dropdown allows users to select what level the Table Calculation is applied. Select Table to apply the Table Calculations to the whole table.
