Custom dashboards: Big number percent widget

Background and context

When creating custom dashboards and specifically the big number widget we are currently limited to show data from a dataset for where a specific filter can be created. There is no way to show a relation between two datasets.

Wanted feature / solution proposal

To be able to show relation between two datasets in percent.

Example

  • Full dataset: All calls to a backend API path in an application perspective

    • 1M calls

  • Partial dataset: All calls to a backend API path originating from a mobile app

    • 250K calls

  • Checkbox: [x] Invert relation

The resulting widget number should show

  • 25% by default

  • 75% if the 'Invert relation' is checked

    Hi Janos,
    we are working to add derived metric formulas for in an upcoming release.
    The idea to invert relations is quite interesting.
    Could we connect and get a deeper understanding of your use cases?
