Title: Absolute values in Dashboards
Post by: Mfg on 18 Feb 2017 05:12:41 AM
Hello Folks,

is there anyway to convert a value from negative to positive when we are working with relational packages in dashboard?
my hands are locked as we cannot expand the package even if we want to create a data module and try to accomplish it.
all um left with is, to create a data set using the package.
is there any better way to do this?
any help will be appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Not in a dashboard based on a package, no. The best solution would be to add the absolute value calculation into the package. Either that or create a report rather than a dashboard.
