Some Data Visualization and BI websites have dashboard design competitions.. it could be interesting also for us since we are a growing community of Omniscope users, to explore the possibilities with some "shareable" data. There are already some sources such as the Demo data-sets, but it could be interesting to also create a bigger library of visualizations created with Omniscope.

Maybe the winner could get a personal Omniscope license? In any case, it could work as a PR tool too.

The usual structure is to provide a sample data-set + a brief and a deadline. It could be fun...

An example of a competition below:

In the attached snippet, I have one project and three activities. The activities are, respectively, Red, Amber and Green. When I filter out the completed activity (Red), I was hoping to see the Project status change, as now there's only a Green and an Amber in play. That doesn't happen - the overall project status stays Red, even when I show only the open activity, which is Green.

Is there a way to make SUBSET() functions recalculate on just filtered data? Or am I going the wrong way about this?

I can press "Reset" button and solve it. However, a user with only a free Viewer cannot do that (?)

Is it possible to "reset the query" before the data is loaded for the user?

I know that you can have only two versions of Omniscope on your machine. But is there a way to implement something for the future to have more than two ? I am currently working with three version.

This would prevent users from updating everyone else's view of a file, while allowing them to save their local changes made from the browser. It would use far less server memory than having multiple copies of the IOK file, since the data would be shared. When a given user next logs in they would get their own configuration of the file as they left it, but will also have the ability to revert back to the master file configuration.

This would allow each user to have their own saved state of an IOK file; the master IOK file itself would hold the data (along with the original "master configuration").

A new user permission would control whether you could save back to the "master configuration" in the IOK itself or not.

We are also considering allowing some kind of URL query param to specify the "saved user id" which will be used to identify the user. There is a related discussion here about query params mentioned here:

At the moment we have implemented our first web report with a link to Microsoft SQL reporting services - we use the Omniscope report for top level view of a group of accounts then a linked field on the user account number to allow direct access to the SRSS report which shows all transactions on the account going back up to 10 years.

OR using a variable to set filter conditions:

IF(

Also to use existing premade queries:

I am looking to have 3 pivot tables with brands on the Y Axis and then split by This year and last year, with a % Change. I have one table for each pack size (small mid large)

The issues is that I have some brands which only appear in one set of sizes (for example a brand may only have large packs). Because of this it a brand may appear in position 5 in one table and 7 on another. I would like it so they are always in the same position.

The 'pivot 2' in 2.8/9 does this perfectly, however I am unable to show % Change.

Does any one have a suggestion of how I can keep brands on the same 'line' / in the same order even though I will have to put them in multiple tables (In order to have my % change)

I have attached a file which has a 2.8 pivot on the left, which is just what I want (but doesn't have % Change) and then two 2.7' pivots which ave a % change but the brands may be in different orders

Many thanks

For example, one could define the number of columns and rows and populate an empty table matrix of cells, which you can then fill in with values within the DataManager.

The idea is to actually reduce having to create separate lookup Excel/csv files and to have a way to do a free-text table all within the DataManager space. This will also make moving the IOK file around easier as it will have fewer external file dependencies if we can embed all the data (and not just a 10-record snapshot) within the DM space within the IOK file itself. ]]> http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/2604/barline-view-custom-axis-range-changings Wed, 18 Jun 2014 07:59:32 -0400 Alexander 2604@/discussions
I have set up a Bar-Line view that is layered on 4 measures. 3 measures have values between 108 and 130. So that left axis is showing a range that is similar to the range of values! This works great.

However, I have a 4th measures with values from 1 to 12. I set up this value on a right axis. Now the left axis expands the range from 108-130 to 0-130. This results in (almost) flat lines of the 3 measures that are measured on this left axis.

I think this is a bug, because there is no lower value in the dataset that is plotted in the left axis, so the range should not change?

I'd appreciate if the record filter was changed so there is a setting to grab the top ten (or N) items for each category. At present this isn't possible and you have to do four steps to replicate this.

As an example, I'm working with Google Analytics data for multiple websites (using the API connector which is very handy) and I'd like to see the top 10 landing pages for each site. Not the most exciting request, but I imagine this has applications elsewhere.

Just wondering if there is a way of replacing everything within brackets in a string of text.

I have a field that has a name, then a former name within parentheses. I would like to be able to remove the ( ) and also everything within.

Should become:

I have been asked to produce a Map view report by our marketing team. Basically we wish to show on the map all our locations. We will also show on the same map the locations of a partner of ours. I was able to get this to show by the usual methods. But what the marketing team would like is to show a small graphic instead of the default marker.
