How do I get avatar link to an HTML string in buisness calculation field?

I have a avatar link for users. In the data modelling I create new custom field dimension with

“<img src={{ #THIS.avatar_url }}>” and called the field avatar_link_html

But when I go back to my report table and add that dimension to the field the resulting string is “<img src={{ avatar_url }}>”.

When I change the field type to HTML its obviously broken. How do I do this?

Hi jk,

Could you try to using SQL concatenation operator in the custom dimension formula to see if it works? For example:

The formula in the dimension:
'<img src="' || {{ #THIS.avatar_url }} || '"/>'

Let’s try this out and let me know if you need any further assistance.

Regards,

This worked thank you.

So what SQL does this support? My data is stored in Bigquery but I notice hollistics doesnt support BQ syntax or SQL server or just normal SQL in general.

For example Im trying to calculate the timestamp difference between two timestamps: CURRENT_DATE - created_at (in DAYS). In BQ its easy enough TIMESTAMP_DIFF(current_timestamp() - created_at, DAY)

How would I do this in hollistics?

I see the now() function listed in your documentation throws an error when i try to do a custom buisness calculation.

We currently don’t support any type of time operator in Business Calculation. You should use the Custom Dimension for such use cases.
