 Function fields in the Chart Builder allow you to create a new field available to the chart, which is based on a report field with a selected function applied to it.

 

Tip

The more basic chart functions, such as Average, Trend, Forecast, and Accumulation can be applied to the advanced ones like Set Analysis or Variance.

You can drag a function from the function list on the left side of the chart builder screen.

These fields will become available once required field components have been added to the chart.

For example, some functions require a metric to be based on.

Field List

You can add a function directly from the field you wish to base it on:

    1. Hover the mouse over the field in the chart area,
    2. Select Add Function from the drop down list, and
    3. Choose the function group to be used.

Note: Set Analysis filtering happens after the report results are returned from the database. This means that set analysis filters do not appear within the report SQL, and as such will be applied after user prompt filters.
