Steer MathPU users to Metric Expressions

Open LucasHocker opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Many use cases for the MathPU should now be able to be accomplished in product using Metric Expressions. Change MathPU visuals to steer users to Metric Expressions instead.

I was trying to use the math PU but it wasn't working, and then I found this post. I had a go at performing the math operation I wanted in data explorer, and I can do it, sort of. What I was trying to do was take a count on 1 day and calculate the % difference from a count for the same thing in a different time period. But, I couldn't work out a way of building an expression to do math where one part was from one timeframe, and the other was from another. I could do this with the math PU as I could set each tile to a different timeframe and then perform the math operation. Do you have any suggestions how to do this comparison over different timeframes in data explorer?

EDIT - Ah, I found the timeshift transformation in the code options. I'll give that a go!
