Entering a formula is similar to writing a formula in a spreadsheet. Click to add a Custom Column to the results of the question and enter a FIELD FORMULA to produce the data that should appear in the column.Visit the Metabase’s article on Combining tables with joins for more information. You may want to practise creating a question without joining data first, then add more tables later. For example, you can opt to ask a question that looks at data from the Schedule table and Employee table.Click to Join Data from the selected table with another table. Click in the different sections to remove the corresponding sections, such as Preview, Join Data, Custom Column, Filter or data Summarize options.You can preview your question at any point throughout the process of asking a question to get an idea of how it will be displayed and to come up with ideas about how you can filter or group the data shown. For example, select Schedules from a list of Data tables in the build.Select the table that you want to report on. Visit the Metadata’s documentation on Models for more information. For example, you can create a model which details information relevant to specific types of customers which you want to ask a series of different questions regularly. Models can be based on SQL query builder questions and allow you to update column descriptions and customise data to create a starting point for questions on a specific topic that get asked frequently. Models are a way to create your own tables that can be used instead of the data tables provided from Simpro Premium.You can also create a question based on Models and Saved Questions.Under Data click Pick your starting data and select Raw Data.Following instructions detail the steps to ask a new question for the example: Forming a question involves deciding which table contains the required information you want to report on, and how you want that data filtered and grouped.Ĭonsider the example to create a report for the busiest time of your business year based on the number of hours scheduled. For example, in a customers table, each row in the table would represent a single customer. The entire set of data from Simpro Premium build in databases is stored in tables and the tables are named based on specific elements available in each row. We cleaned up the data reference sidebar in the native editor, and made it easier to search for models and questions to reference in your SQL questions.Questions in BI Reporting are made up of: data, filters, metrics and are answered either in a table or visualised as a graph.Native editor and data reference upgrades datetimeAdd and datetimeSubtract functions so you can "math" dates.second, minute, hour, day, week, month, quarter, year functions for extracting bits of a timestamp.We added a bunch of new functions for dealing with dates in the query builder: New datetime functions for custom expressions Models are easier to reference in SQL questions.When joining against a persisted model in a native query, Metabase will, if possible, use the model's cached results to return results faster. You’ll get faster results for SQL questions built on top of persisted models.Models retain their metadata, even when you change the model’s underlying query.You can create a model from the + New menu (as well as from an existing saved question).Models in Metabase had a bit of a rough landing, but since they're such a fundamental building block for a healthy data culture, we did a ton of work to make models easier and more reliable to work with. Pie charts can now show labels inside the pie.Which is a pretty big deal, especially if you want to do things like change up the order of steps in a funnel chart. We gave them the same feature set as bar charts, rotated 90 degrees, which was actually harder to pull off than you might think. Labels are above the charts, and they're laid out in rows. Line, area, bar, and combo charts now have better legends.Plus now you can get gauge charts via email and Slack. Better static charts: We've put a lot more work into making the charts that your Metabase sends in email or Slack look like they do when you view them in your Metabase.NOTE: Metabase 0.45 is NOT backwards compatible. We'll go into more detail in our official release post this list is just a brief summary for those of you helping us test out the release candidate. Here's an incomplete list of all of the improvements that we’ll be shipping in Metabase 45.
