Aggregated columns of fields with data conversion applied in the view don't work fine

Joan Poblet shared this problem 6 years ago

Hi,


We applied a data numeric divide converter to a field of a view (diving by 1000), to transform it to seconds:

62c8340ef33c9bc2f2f83189a18db34e

When we create a report by displaying this field ("Time elapsed") as is, the converter works fine and the data shown is right:

2fd5eea3ee7cb82984841699c9c406a3

But when we apply an aggregation to the field, YF is taking the data without applying the numeric converter. So, the data shown is wrong:

c0dc94e5fff34f77f64e0c97132f0eda


What could we do to fix this problem?


Thank you.


Best Regards,

Joan.

Hi Joan,


I just wanted to let you know that I am looking into this, but as far as an immediate work around, I would suggest employing this as a calculated field where you can specify the aggregation method with greater control.


Hopefully I will have more information on your primary query soon here!

Hi Nathan,

I've just realized I didn't responded to you, sorry. The workaround worked fine. We will deal with this issue in that way until it is fixed in a coming build.

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Joan.

Hi Joan,

Unfortunately there has been no progress made on this issue. We are currently in a very large dev push for 7.4, which means that all but the most critical defects are on the back-burner until we get through this.

I have bumped the priority of this issue, but am still hesitant to give a timeline to resolution as anything sooner than at least Nov-Dec.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,

Nathan
