By default, all the snapshot tables are modeled as daily snapshot fact tables. If you query for a time range it will get a value for each day. Long time ranges result in a large number of records. If you don't need such high precision, you can use weekly or even monthly snapshots.
When you aggregate data for a snapshot entity, you should include the DateSK
or a DateValue
column in a groupby
clause as described in the OData query guidelines. For example reports that specify a date filter, see the following articles:
- Query trend data
- Define basic queries using OData Analytics
- Calculate time-in-state for an existing Analytics view
- Bug trends sample report
- Lead time and Cycle time sample report
- Pipeline pass rate trend sample report
- Pipeline task duration trend sample report
Period enumerated type members
The following members are defined for the Period
enumerated type that you can use with other filter expressions to remove days that don't finish a given week or month. Reference one of these members to specify a weekly or monthly period for trend queries that span a long time period. The Period
enumerated type has a single attribute, IsFlags
, which is set to True
.
