How to build Number Report?#

Interactive Mode#

STEP 1: select "Number Report" visualization type#

STEP 2: Choose field you want to highlight#

Drag filed that you want to highlight to the "Select Columns" field. Only the first column will be used to summarized, other columns you dropped will be ignored.

Click the caret button, you can apply "Count", "Sum", "Avg" function to the column.

Click the selected column to change the label name of the field.

STEP 3: Preview to test and save.#

SQL Mode#

You can also build number report from SQL Query directly.

Click the "Script" checkbox at the top-right corner of "Visualization" section to switch to Script mode. DbFace will try to generate SQL query that you already built. But you might also need to correct issues.

Option: Script#

For Number Report, you can define

function __format_label(label) {
  var newlabel = label;
  // TODO: apply format to the label
  return newlabel;
}

and

function __format_value(value) {
  var newvalue = value;
  // TODO: apply format to the value
  return newvalue;
}

function in the Script code area to format label and value of the number report.

Here is an example that bold the label and makes the value color to blue:

function __format_label(label) {
    return "<b style='color:red'>" + label + "</b>";
}

function __format_value(value) {
    return "<span style='color:blue'>" + value+"</span>";
}
