2 posts · Jul 2024

What this trail covers

Hex has evolved its data analysis capabilities by introducing and enhancing Calculations and Input Parameters. Calculations allow business users to perform complex data manipulations and modeling using familiar spreadsheet-like functions, which are compiled to SQL for execution at data warehouse scale. This empowers users to create custom metrics, segments, and simplify complex filter logic without writing SQL or Python. The integration with Input Parameters allows these calculations to be parameterized, enabling the creation of dynamic and interactive data apps without writing SQL or Python code.

  1. Unleashing the Power of Calculations in Hex: New Use Cases and Input ParametersThis post details the integration of Input Parameters with Calculations, enabling the creation of parameterized calculations. This allows for the development of end-to-end interactive data apps where user input from parameters can drive calculations, leading to dynamic scenarios, visualizations, and reports without requiring SQL or Python code. It highlights how this extends previous use cases of Calculations to become interactive.
