Total metric value support for Metrics with Dimensions on charts

Currently, Big Number can be displayed when Standard Metrics (Metrics without Dimensions) are used on the charts.

It'd be great if Big Number would be possible to display when Attributed Metrics (Metrics with Dimensions) are used on the charts, that would represent the SUM of all/selected Dimensions.

It would be great to be able to display the total (sum) number of impressions in Line Charts for Dimensioned metrics.
I want to display the total when selecting 2 campaigns on the same Line chart.

This article seems like a shortcoming that should be a feature:
help.databox.com/why-the-big-number-is-missing-above-my-graph#attributed-metric

I understand the initial reasoning why, but it seems like a solvable thing, to include an option to include a big number even if the metric is dimensional.

This is especially true, if the "Stacked chart" option is ticked, since this indicates that the dimensions are part of a unity that should be added up.

Please include an option to have a big number on dimensional metrics. This would be a big help for us.

This is a must-have. It's frustrating not having this.

On a Facebook Databoard > Ads Reporting Custom Metric ''Spend by Campaign'' > Filter by Campaign Name - Contains: "Specific Criteria"

All of the filtered data are shown, but the Total is not visible.
I tried changing the Visualization Type to a Pie Chart and the Total appears. However, when it comes to a Line Graph, Bar Graph, and Number block the Total value is not shown.

Hi Elaine,

Thanks for reaching out.

From your post, I understood that you are using a Metric (''Spend'') with Dimensions (by ''Campaign Name'') on a Line/Bar chart.
Displaying a total number above the chart when such Metric is selected is currently not supported in Databox. However, you can use an alternative solution for now by creating a Calculated Metric in order to achieve your goal. Read more about this here: help.databox.com/article/523-why-the-big-number-is-missing-above-my-chart#attributed.
Does this help?

If you agree, I'll merge your request with an existing post: roadmap.databox.com/b/chart-improvements/big-number-support-for-metrics-with-dimensions/.
