I would like use latest date value from my table in Scorecard,
Any idea how to import this Date value in DataStudio report ?
There is no option like "Max Date", similiar to Max value used in Digit Values.
There is only Count option:
Or advice how to insert date as Label to another ScoreCard chart.

One more question: Is it possible to insert date function in Text field? Probably not right ? If I wanna join my line of text with some Date
Hi Nim thanks for help and what about if I want show last data from last 3 days in 2 item dimension table ? In one item I can just use row filter, but how in 2 item ?
In my case for example most 5 countries by last 3 days, by now I can only show most 5 countries by last day:
...Actually I can setup in the bottom option : date range (last 7days), but I have still too many rows, solution should be somehow limit number of rows per day...somehow
Question 1: How to display the Max Date LIKE a Scorecard?
1.1) Data Tab
- Chart Type: Table
- Dimension: Date
- Sort: Date in descending order
- Rows per page: 1
1.2) Style Tab
- Show Header: Deselect
- Row Numbers: Deselect
- Show Pagination: Deselect
- Table Labels Font Size: As required (e.g. 24px)
1.3) Text Box
- Add a Text Box stating Max Date if required
- Precision Movement: Use Shift + Movement keys to finely place the components exactly where required.

Question 1 (Original Post - Currently doesn't work as expected): How to display the Max Date on a Scorecard?
At the Metric field of the Scorecard, create a Chart-level Calculated Field that explicitly aggregates the Date field by MAX:
MAX(Date)

Question 2: How to display the latest Metric?
2.1) Data Tab
- Chart Type: Table
- Dimension: Date
- Metric: As required (e.g. Sessions)
- Sort: Date in descending order
- Rows per page: 1
2.2) Style Tab
- Show Header: Deselect
- Row Numbers: Deselect
- Show Pagination: Deselect
- Table Labels Font Size: As required (e.g. 24px)
2.3) Overlay
- Add a shape or text box over the Date field part of the Table to ensure that it's not visible and set the colour of the shape to a solid colour that blends in with the background (such as White for a White coloured background).
- Order: Ensure that the shape or text box is placed in front of the Table.
- Precision Movement: Use Shift + Movement keys to finely place the components exactly where required.

I've got a dataset with a column containing the id of the shop, another column with the EAN code of the product, and another column containing the quantity sold.
I create a Dataview in VEEML to link that to a calendar with the months and the year.
Can I create a metric on that Dataview to get the average quantity of sold items per shop, per months, years, etc ?
All the filters, dimensions and metrics used by a story could be edited in the pop-up "Datafields".
At the bottom of the left menu, click on the database icon to open the datafields options.
Search the field containing the quantity
Expand that field
Fill the textbox with the right SQL ANSI calculation. Don't forget to add a name at your metric at the end of the calculation using the "as name_of_the_metric"
Check the checkbox Is Metric As
Here, your calculation can be something as :
SUM(Sales_Quantity)/COUNT(DISTINCT ShopId) as Avg_Sales_Per_Shop
In each chart or grid, that calculation will be applied dynamicaly for each level of the dimensions in that chart.
Can I have a time series chart to display the last 6 months QTY sold? as the report filter is monthly based.
ex. Users can choose 2021/10/01 - 2021/10/31 to view the report and there is a chart to display the last 6 months QTY sold. In this case, the time series chart will display 2021/05/01 to 2021/10/31.
If users can choose 2021/06/01 - 2021/6/30 to view the report and there is a chart to display the last 6 months QTY sold. In this case, the time series chart will display 2021/01/01 to 2021/06/30.
Through my advanced knowledge of the platform, I am not aware of the possibility of obtaining the mentioned result.
It is not possible to use the date filter control element and the respective date range as an input variable to define the period dimension used in the temporal graph.
You will probably have to look for an alternative solution that doesn't match the proposed objective. Using a fixed period of the last 6 months, without the possibility of dynamic variation through the date control element. Or, use two date filter control elements, one for the time graph only. Solutions far from ideal.
The issue was solved, I created another data source for 6 months of sales.
I'd like to add a vertical reference line in a line chart at the position of the current month. Any way to do this?
Current chart:
Desired chart:
Thanks!
The Calculated Field below (where Date represents the name of the Date field, and Metric, the name of the current metric) adds a Bar on the current month:
1) Data Tab
Chart: Time Series
Dimension: Date; Type: Year Month
Metric #1: Metric
Metric #2: Today
IF(DATETIME_TRUNC(Date, MONTH) = DATETIME_TRUNC(TODAY(), MONTH), 1, NULL)
2) Style Tab
Metric #1: Line; Axis: Left
Metric #2: Bar; Axis: Right
3) Remove Right Y-Axis
Right Y-Axis (Custom Tick Interval): 1
Shape: Add a shape over the 0 to hide the last visible value of the Right Y-Axis
Editable Google Data Studio Report (Embedded Google Sheets Data Source) and a GIF to elaborate:
You can use this example below (borrowed from here). After you change the date to a number, you can put this new value on the right axis and make it a bar.
CASE
WHEN CAST(FORMAT_DATETIME("%Y%m%d", Date) AS NUMBER ) = [YOUR DESIRED DATE] THEN 1
ELSE 0
END
i have few simple charts where each bar represent day according to date rage control I've added.
i want that the report user will be able to change aggregation
so instead of each bar that represent day,i want each bar that represent month or week
is there anyway i can do that in Google Data Studio ?
Thanks
Assuming you have date as Dimension in the Data tab to the right.
You can 'drill down' by selecting the switch just below.
Add the date dimension again then edit this new dimension and change type
to Date/time and select the granularity such as week or month.
Then in view mode there will be up and down arrows in the top right of the plot which allows you to change view to different drill down options (week/month etc) which you selected in the data tab.
I would like to create a ranking dimension in one of the Google Data Studio reports.
The data source for the report is [GSC Site] which has information on [Query] (a dimension) and [Average Ranking] (a metric). Trying to use the CASE formula to create a new field called "Ranking" as follows:
CASE
WHEN Average Position >= 0 AND Average Position <= 5 THEN "Top 5"
WHEN Average Position > 5 AND Average Position <= 10 THEN "Top 10"
ELSE "Not Ranked"
END
and get the message "Only numeric literals are allowed if aggregated fields are used in CASE."
As I understand, the field "Average Ranking" is metric with default aggregation "Auto" which prevents me from using the CASE formula.
What would be a possible solution where a new field is created as (i.e. dimension) with default aggregation "None" and populated with the above-ranking distribution values (Top 5, Top 10 and Not Ranked).
I was trying to do the same thing, and the solution I came up with was to blend GSC data with itself. With a blend, you don't have the same auto-aggregation limitation if you add a custom field to a specific table or chart. Here is what the blend looks like:
Then use the blend as the datasource for your chart, and click to add a dimension and select Create Field. My custom field used a case statement almost identical to the one in your question.
