Measure Tip No Data Displaying #22

Closed Tapdamonkey closed 6 years ago

Tapdamonkey commented 6 years ago

I am working with a Plan Table that has a Start Date, Promotion Name, End Date. When Bringing in the Promotion Name into the measure field I receive a No Data Message, when bringing in a numerical value, the value shows, will this only work for numerical numbers and not text strings?

Hi @Tapdamonkey- thanks for using my calendar visual! Unfortunately the Measure Data field only supports numeric fields. Since it's primary purpose is to aggregate data by day, I don't see a way to support a text field here. My long-term roadmap does include researching the possibility of adding additional numeric and/or text values to go along with the Measure Data, but I don't have any timeline on when or if that will be implemented. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks!

Hey Manny!

Thanks for reaching out, so I was able to find a workout to get this to work with text strings, if you start the description with a number “year” and then have your text information the data actually displays pretty good, Incase you didn’t know. Thanks for the awesome visual!

Thanks Sergio Zeno

That's great to hear! Glad you were able to figure out a workaround.
