How can I add a column in my report for the result path calculation?
I created a result path calculation to show the evolution of Solved tickets in the past two years. When I finished, the report stopped showing the absolute values. I can only see the manipulated results in the image below. How can I add a column in the report that shows the absolute values alongside the manipulated results?
The result path calculation shows the evolution between two values. When you use it, it replaces the absolute value with the manipulated results.
See this workaround to display the original values.
This article uses the Solved tickets metric and Ticket Solved - Year as an attribute filtered by the last two years. Use this workflow for any other metric or attribute.
