Introduction
Hello and welcome to WoW week 28! This weeks topic takes it back to a fundamental lesson in CRM Analytics. I often get questions about data accuracy from users when they are comparing rows of data to the row count of a grouped chart or table. Have you ever experienced a case of “missing records” in your visuals?
Tip… check out the Tips section!
Requirements
- Navigate to the dataset found here.
- Import the dataset into your org. Name it WoW_28
- Create a new blank dashboard
- Add 3 components
- 1. a number widget showing the count of records for dataset wow_28
- 2. a table widget, grouped by Region, showing Totals
- 3. a table widget, grouped by Sub-Category, showing totals
When using the same dataset in 3 different components, why do we get different totals? Why does the Sub-Region grouped table, have a lower record count than the other tables on the same dataset?
- Update the dataset field values to so they are accurately reflected in table groupings.
- If an external source has an entire column with null values, it will not be included in the dataset on load.
- Null field values can be updated via transformation on the dataset or at the import level on the node using default values.
- If the field type is “Measure” the null value is recognized.
