Calculated Field in Dashboards

[SimonMcCor]

Is there a way to create a calculated field in a dashboard from the data that has been put into it?

I have an aggregated dataset that goes into a dashboard, but using an average in the calculation will only work if I display the average by the grouped variables. e.g. Avg(Thing), grouped by X,Y will only be useful if I display it by X and Y at the same time.

If instead of average, I could use count() and sum() that could be used to calculate an average field in the dashboard, then I could use any filters on that dashboard and still get correct results. Is there an easy way to do this? And if not, how do I go about doing a feature request!

Hi @SimonMcCor , Yes, you can create a calculated field in a dashboard from the data that has been put into it. In Databricks, you can perform this operation within the notebook that feeds data into your dashboard.

If you want to request a new feature, you can contact Databricks support or post your suggestion in the Databricks community as well as https://help.databricks.com/s/.

Hi Kaniz,
For SQL dashboards how would you approach this? Given the example above every 'new calculation' added would require computation across the dataset again which re-runs the query (which can take a few minutes for some of the datasets we have). Is there a better approach than this?
