Display physical units in Azure Time Series Insights - azure

The values and physical units (meter, seconds..) are forwarded from the Azure Event - Hub to the Azure Time Series Insights and are visible in the table for the displayed chart. Screenshot of columns "Explore Raw Events" of a TSI - chart
Nevertheless, it is not possible to select the column "unit" to be shown in the chart. Selection of columns which can be selected to be shown in TSI- chart
Therefore, only the purely numerical value without physical units is displayed in the TSI - chart.
Is there a way to include the units into the displayed values? not just as a title of an axis.

#Autishofer, the "Show/Hide Columns" is used to show or Hide the instance properties (also referred as instance field) in the well. The little tabular column under the data trend is called "Well".
In you case, even though you are sending the units as part of the events JSON payload, it is not stored as instance filed; rather its stored as another variable /time series.
In my humble opinion, it doesn't make sense to send measurement units in every event, as its not going to change between events.
If I may recommend something, Please model the units as instance fields.

Azure workbook filtering based on a selection/click in a chart

I would like to filter the data and show the raw/aggregated data in a table/grid when a selection is being done in a Bar Chart in Azure Workbook visualizations.
I have a bar graph as below. When I select on the "purple" line denoting Avg CPU to be very high, I would want a grid/table showing the CPU aggregated on x based on the query. How can this be achieved in Azure workbooks.
Yes, it can be done. see the azure docs or the github docs for full details but in general:
in the advanced settings for the visualization, choose the "when items are selected export parameters" option, and fill that out.
(note in both docs it calls out that in grids you can export any column in the grid, but in charts, you have different options for x, y, series, etc)
that will create a parameter with a value when something becomes selected
use that parameter downstream, in query text, or in conditional visibility to hide and show other steps

Dynamic item list in Azure Workbooks

Is it possible to have data driven layout in Azure Workbooks?
For each row of a Kusto query, I'd like to add a tile to the dashboard.
There's no direct way to have a single query generate many visualizations in workbooks (yet!)
There are some options:
you could use a visualization like "tiles" which creates an item for each row, and you can configure the various parts of the tile to get info from different columns.
presuming you literally mean "Azure Dashboard" here when you say dashboard:
(more manual) you could create a parameter that returns all those values, and then configure a subsequent query to reference the selected value to generate the visualization you want, and manually pick a value, pin the chart to the dashboard, repeat for each value you want pinned.
(more technical) you could create the visualization you want, and pin it to a dashboard. then download the dashboard as json, and copy+paste the pin, but modify the query/parameter values in the dashboard, then upload it as a new dashboard?

Surfacing key information in Azure DevOps - pivot options appear limited?

Currently trying to surface key information around the projects in our organisation. I want to show a breakdown of work items assigned, estimated time, and completed time per individual. I thought I could do this with the chart widget, and I can if I have 3 different pivots, but it seems very limited. I don't seem to be able to adjust the order of the column series (status) to what I want. I can adjust based on the values - e.g. estimates but then the next chart has that status in a completely different order because it's sorting on something different.
Is there another widget I should use, or is Azure DevOps not capable of handling this? Do I have to use Excel or PowerBI instead??
You can use “chart for work items” widget. Please select chart type as Pivot table. For example, here is my configuration of the "Chart for work items" widget:
You can see the Original Estimate assigned to each user in this widget:

How do you drill-through from a chart to different reports depending on the chart value?

I have a pie chart in Cognos 11, and depending on the slice I'd like to drill-through to different reports. My particular pie has 4 slices, and 4 different reports I'd like to drill-through to depending on the value.
I've seen tutorials on how to drill through conditionally via a Crosstab, but not for a chart.
Thanks!
I don't think you will be able drill through to four different reports. That would require the ability to define four different drill-through definitions when each chart only contains one. However, I do believe there's a workaround.
The workaround would be to use a single drill-through target report and have it conditionally render data elements based on the passed in parameters.
Consider a simple pie chart which shows Sales as its measure and Department as its series (slices). Let's assume that there are four departments: Food, Housewares, Clothes, Hardware.
The chart when rendered will have four slices, one for each of the four departments. You define the drill-through to pass in the Department data item value to the target report.
On the target report side, you take the value passed in and selectively render the contents based on the value. This can be done several ways:
Create a page for each format and only render one at a time based on passed in Department value
Create four different data containers on a single page and only render one at a time
Create a conditional block and have each report format in one of the block options
Personally I like doing this with multiple pages. It's cleaner and makes your intent to others clearer, especially if you name the pages descriptively.
A possible complication is filters. It would be a challenge is the filters used in each "format" was vastly different. It could still be worked around would be more challenging.
By the way, what I described above relates to Cognos Report Studio 10.x. I'm not sure if any or all of this translates to Cognos 11 as I don't have access to that version. It's my understanding that underneath the new simplified UI, the new Cognos is pretty much the same, but your mileage may vary.

Actual KPI values Sharepoint Dashboard Designer are Calculating Weirdly

I am attempting to build a simple SharePoint Scorecard using the Dashboard Designer. The underlying list is an OOB Task List and the measured dimension is %-complete.
Each task obviously has a 1-100%. As a test KPI the goal for all "Assigned To" persons is to reach 100%. Ideally, in the future each person will have their own KPI and scorecard that can be adjusted, there will be a team roll up scorecard and all of those will roll into a dashboard.
However, I am struggling because when I create the KPI the "Actual" values seem to be multiplying by some weird factor.
Does anyone know why the actual values are showing as so large? I've tried other calculations than default and the values don't really change.
http://wayfaring.io/fotos/Screenshots/KPI-Issues.png
Okay I figured it out. It turns out that the underlying calculation of the data in the list needs to be changed from "SUM" to "Average".
Within the workspace browser (left pane) of Dashboard Designer under your Data Connections go into the list that populates your scorecard. Then go to the View tab. If you click Preview Data you can see the head of the dataset. Under the %-complete the default calculation is "SUM". Click that column header and then on the right pane (Details) change the Aggregation parameter from SUM to Average.
Save your changes and refresh the KPI in the score card and now I see the appropriate %-completes for each user.
Voila!
