Custom Visual - How to get measure aggregation type
Hey guys,
I'm writing a custom matrix visual . The dataview has a matrix , when I get measures data(Values) , I need to know what type of aggregation measure is (sum, count , average , min ,max ).
How can I get measure aggregation type programmatically?
Here is my capabilities.json
{
"dataRoles": [
{
"displayName": "Rows",
"name": "rows",
"kind": "Grouping"

"displayName": "Columns",
"name": "columns",

},

"displayName": "Filters",
"name": "filters",
"kind": "Grouping"
},
{
"displayName": "Values",
"name": "measure",
"kind": "Measure"
}
],
"dataViewMappings": [
{
"conditions": [
{
"rows": {

"min": 1
},
"columns": {
"min": 0
},
"measure": {
"min": 0
}
},
{
"rows": {
"min": 0
},
"columns": {

},
"measure": {
"min": 0
}
}
],

}
}
},

{

}
}

}
}
}

There's not good way to detect type but you might try to detect type by displayName.

I 'm trying to calculate matrix measure totals/subtotals (sum,count,average,min,max) .
Is there a way configure my capabilities.json that will bring matrix measure subtotals for row/column items?
Thanks in Advance .

No, subtotals are not supported yet. This feature is on our backlog (no ETA).
Just one more note, If you calculate totals in JS they might be a bit wrong as Power BI does not allow to get more than 1000 rows by default. This value can be configure via dataReductionAlgorithm but it can't be greater than 30000.
