Along with the single advertiser report, it is the one I use the most and would save me countless hours not having to pull reports from doubleclick and then importing them manually.

I've got a data set that I'm pulling in via the GA connector which contains a text field with a mixture of English and double-byte characters. The data looks fine in data manager but when it's displayed in a bar view the double-byte values are displayed as '?????????'. Please could someone advise how to fix this?

Many thanks

I understand why this happens, but I wanted to raise it as an issue again - because it prevents usage as shown in the attached image; how does the user know which (if either!) summary is correct?!

The areas of the image to focus on are the "Stock Turn" and "Stock Payback" columns; these are calculated columns - the formulae are:
  • Stock Turn = Sold Qty / Current Stock Units (i.e. how many times, in a year, could I have sold the current stock given the sales rate over the past 12 months?)
  • Stock Payback = Current Stock Cost / Gross Profit (i.e. how many years does it take to generate a Gross Profit equal to the current value of stock?)

The Pivot in the top left shows the number of items in a given Product Range - when selected, we have 2 Tables (top right, and bottom) which show a breakdown:
  • Top Right = full details i.e. every Item in the selected Range (77 items in the image)
  • Bottom = summarised by Product Group and Supplier, so that we can see whether we can discuss stock issues (longevity or excess value) with specific Suppliers

The aggregation in the bottom table uses "Formula result" to calculate the [correct] values for each Supplier / Product Group. But in the Table view there is no way of using "Formula result" to derive a result... so we get different values in the two tables for the same underlying data.

Omniscope does provide the option to "Calculate formula field results for group result values" (from the Formula menu, in the Table view), but whilst this yields the correct answer in the Top Right table, it doesn't affect the bottom table... and has the undesirable side effect of forcing all fields required by the formula to be displayed in the table (which, for complex multi-field formulae, isn't an option).

I will post the result of selecting "Calculate formula field results for group result values" in a follow-up post (I can't add 2 images to this entry) to illustrate the problem.

I appreciate that Grouping in tables is an architectural problem... but it means that it can be very dangerous to using multiple Table views on the same page; it's easy to confuse the user. More fundamental is that Omniscope is not presenting the *right* number in some cases; or at least it is very easy for the user to make that accusation, with some justification. Many people are used to reviewing summaries in tables - and they remain a useful way to look up a specific value - but such discrepancies in values present real problems when delivering client solutions.

One for discussion, I think...]]> Smiley faces in Details listing on Map http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/407/smiley-faces-in-details-listing-on-map Fri, 03 Sep 2010 11:43:10 -0400 WKeith 407@/discussions

I want to compose a branded first tab with instructions as to how to use the app. I want to use this tab to make choices about year of data, country, sector, market activity etc.

I want these selection to hold true for further, dependent, tabs (5 or 6 in number) with dashboards of related market performance measures (with all devices hidden etc).

I want to be able to use this solution primarily as a laptop based consulting tool, but with the ability to then publish locked examples to distribute to clients.

I suspect that there are several ways to achieve some of the above, but is there anything that I am proposing that is not currently possible.

If anyone has already created an solution with some or all of these features I would love to share your know how.]]> Connectors: Outlook PST connector (2.7+) http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/1069/connectors-outlook-pst-connector-2.7- Tue, 25 Oct 2011 04:49:24 -0400 antonio 1069@/discussions

]]> Integration: Merge/Join on first match only? http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/2439/integration-mergejoin-on-first-match-onlys Tue, 14 Jan 2014 06:43:23 -0500 martins2 2439@/discussions
Here is what I'm trying to do. I have a field containing a string of text which sometimes contains place names. I wish to match up the place names in this text string with the list of place names in the lookup data built in the data sources. Because it's a string of text I'm using the "contains" criteria in the merge/join block but this means that manchester and chesterfield will match chester. There are many other instances of this happening, too many to sort out manually.

If I sorted the data so that place names which contained other place names were at the top, and then I could merge the first match then I think this would solve this problem. Is this a possibility for future releases?

In the mean time can anyone think of a way round this?

For one of our clients we want to adjust the color of the slider in the sidebar.
Also the color when hovering a circle view needs to be adjusted.

Is this possible? Please advice.
