Count of Ticket Field change in Exlpore

Answered


Posted Jan 05, 2021

Hi there, 

I'm a bit stuck (and mods, apologies but I have posted this within another post, but wasn't descriptive enough).

In Insights I had/have the following custom metric in a very simple report, used across a few reports:

SELECT # Ticket Updates WHERE [Text Field] New Value = [Change Progress] Booked into sprint

And an example report is structured as follows:

What (above metric)

Filters: the one relevant to this is Week (Mon-Sun)/Year (Event) is this week

 

I can't seem to find a similar variant to count the number of times this field was updated to that particular drop-down selection in Explore; there's a lot of advise on IF THEN ELSE, but that's not what I'm after. 

Are you able to point me in the right direction? I haven't a clue how to achieve this.

Thanks, 

Emma

Hi Emma - I believe you should be able to accomplish this in Explore by using the following:

Dataset: Ticket Updates
Metric: D_Count(Updates)
Filters:

  • Changes - New value > select the tag of the specific dropdown option you'd like to filter by
  • Update - Week of Year (or a similar option)

The one thing I noticed when testing this out on my end was that this 'Changes - New value' attribute includes a good chunk of data so, if you're having difficulty filtering for that specific tag, you might want to consider adding a new Standard Calculated Attribute that looks similar to the below:

IF CONTAINS([Changes - New value],"insert_the_tag_for_your_dropdown_value_here")
THEN "TRUE"
ELSE "FALSE"
ENDIF

You'll then be able to add this new Standard Calculated Attribute as a filter so that you can select only the updates where the Changes - New Value was the particular dropdown you were looking for. 

Hope that helps point you in the right direction!

This has worked! It corresponds to my Insights data perfectly. 

Our internal Zendesk guru is on maternity leave so this has been a bit of a struggle!

Thanks ever so much Chandra!
