A little more than a year ago I sat out to demystify bindings (or interactions as they are being called from Spring 20). I wrote a blog series covering data selection, data serialization, and data manipulation functions. It turned out to be quite a few blogs and quite a few bindings as well. I figured ...
I’ve heard more than once than bindings can be hard and confusing. And if I didn’t believe that, then I only have to look at the most viewed blogs I’ve written and my demystifying binding blog series is by far the winner. In the Spring 20 release, it has become a little bit easier to ...
In the latest release, Winter 20, we got a lot of help in creating static steps – or as we will be calling them from now on, custom queries – but it can perhaps be a little hard to navigate how it works. So let’s have a look at these custom queries. First of all, ...
Einstein Analytics dashboard pattern for dynamic Period over Period Analysis using a single date picker.
Highlights:
* Works with a single standard date widget
* Works with absolute dates
* Works with relative date
bonus
Allows switching between \"current period vs. prior period\" (example: Jan-Feb 2019 vs. Nov-Dec 2018) & \"current period vs same period prior year\" (example: Jan-Feb 2019 vs. Jan-Feb 2018)
As you may have figured out Einstein Analytics does not support multi-currency out of the box. If you are an organization that has enabled multi-currency in Salesforce then I am sure you are likely to want to see this in Einstein Analytics. As I said it’s not supported out of the box (at least not ...
In the past 8 blogs of this blog series, we have covered a lot of ground. We started out looking at the anatomy of a binding followed by data serialization examples and finally data manipulation. In this blog, there will not be an introduction to a new concept. While writing these blogs I have completed ...
This blog series has almost come to an end. From part 1 of this blog series I have tried to demystify the binding syntax and come with different examples of how to use data selection and data serialization, and I hope bindings have become a little more approachable than before. But there is another layer ...
When we build dashboards and show the dashboard to end users they have an expectation to see data in a table view. Maybe not in the beginning, but for the most part they do want to be able to see the details. In Einstein Analytics we do this by adding a values table. But how ...
Maps are great on a dashboard. Why? Well, the brain can easily decode a map as all the data is visual, no text is needed to understand the data story. This is why I think maps should be used in Einstein Analytics. You probably already know that Einstein Analytics comes with some out of the ...
If you have been looking at some of my other blogs, you might know I love the compare table functionality, we get to do powerful calculations without writing code. Now I know that we of course also want our compare tables to be dynamic, so next in the binding agenda is compare table bindings. Compare ...
