sand dance

Hi all,

I am currently facing an issue with the column graph in sand dance,
on the y axis there is a sum function and i was just wondering how the values are calculated for non-numeric values.

e.g SUM: NAME

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @new2powerbi1,

 

For sanddance custom visual,  you can Sum by any column in the dataset. Per my understanding, when we select a numeric field, it sum up values grouped by multiple dimensions. But when selecting a Text field, it just group and classify values based on dimensions without doing mathematical calculation, having nothing to do with the "Sum" label.

 

For more advice, you could contact the custom visual development team.

 

Best regards,
