Conditional style formatting in datastudio
To me datastudio is currently lacking proper conditional formating of metrics.
Is it possible to fix this with da vinci tools. It would be great for some metrcis to have the basic possibility to maken the color of numbers red for negatives and green for positives for example.
Done!
Whenever a string of the format ${font-awesome icon} is found in a dimension, it will be replaced with its corresponding icon. It's not quite conditional formatting, but with calculated fields, you can use icons in a similar way.
So something like ${far fa-grin-tongue-wink fa-2x} will be replaced by the grin-tongue-wink smiley.
Cool isn't it! :)
Transaction refund / reverse not working ?
When I try to cancel a transaction with the (awesome) new function I keep going through the Google Authorization every time process with no effect.
Am I missing something ?
Thanks !
I have solved this problem by simplifying the way the data is retrieved and the measurement protocol call is created. This will be available in the next release, coming up very shortly.
Also, I have introduced the ability to refund/revert a single item of a transaction.
Note those features will eventually be available only to subscribers.

The images that are used in GTM Preview no longer work. See attached screenshot. The link to the images gives a 404.

unable to deselect data range comparison in Google Analytics
In google Analytics I had selected a data range comparison with a previous period. When I wanted to click the checkbox to deselect this date comparison I was now unable to do so. Clicking it resulted in the date selector "window" closing.
I tried setting the permissions for De Vinci Tools to only be allowed to run, when I click the plugin in Chrome. Then I reloaded the page and tried again (with Davinci Tools now disabled). This time it worked - I could remove the data range comparison in Google Analytics.
I spent a fair amount of time drilling into this problem - assuming it was caused by Da Vinci. Actually, it's not. It seems to be a random problem but I was able to reproduce it when having an active "Compare To" and drilling into a report entry. On the drilled-down report I'm unable to deselect the Compare To flag. Refreshing the page seems to solve it - but maybe not always.
I have recorded a quick demo of this problem: https://www.useloom.com/share/7109439d65ea42e9a4c80a86cc5077d7
If you face this problem again, please use the "Send Feedback" at the bottom of the GA interface to report this problem to the Google team.
Data Studio: time period comparison in all chart types
In Data Studio line charts you can easily select from a drop-down to produce a second line on your chart...e.g. vs last month, vs last year, etc. So it baffles me that this can't be done in, for example, bar charts to product a second set of columns for the comparison. Would be really useful to have this feature irrespective of the chart type.
I can't easily alter the functionality of the current widgets.
However, in the specific case you describe, use a time series chart, under Style, change it to column, and enable the comparison period. Voilà! (unless I have misunderstood your request!)
How to use GTM Sort Settings?
tag manager preview incognito requires login
When I use the share preview link in an incognito window with da Vinci enabled in incognito I am required to log into my google account. At that point I have then logged into gtm again and must start a preview from within the incognito gtm session. Disabling da Vinci in incognito resolve this, so it is definitely Da Vinci, which I love to death and want to have active in incognito windows.
Found the problem! It was just a wrong check when handling the "Remember Me" feature. It will be fixed with the next release.
Restrain available dates in Data Studio date range filter
Data Studio's date range filter brings up a full calendar of dates to choose from. However, sometimes a dashboard may contain data that only became available from date X when it was implemented, so it would be very useful to be able to stop users selecting dates prior to this....or a simpler alternative may be to black-out those dates visually if preventing selection is not possible
In order to know the real starting date of the data I would have to actually make the same query just to know the oldest data date, which would be time consuming for very little benefits.
Slider Filter Option in Data Studio
I would like to have the ability to have Slider filters in data studio. For example for displaying Prices. Currently, my only option is checkboxes with price ranges. You can see how I currently use price ranges at this site: https://www.bikechaos.com/Search
Adding new design elements to the DS interface is something very difficult to do - plus, there's a big chance that Google will bring this type of feature themselves in the future.

Convert Lookup to Regex Lookup
I recently needed to upgrade a standard Lookup to Regex Lookup to handle some tricky matches. It's not possible to change a Lookup to Regex Lookup without losing all the data. The only way at the moment is to perform a slow copy and paste job from old to new. To be able to save the current inputs/outputs and move them to a Regex lookup would be brilliant.
This could actually be solved if I make it possible to copy the current values from the regex or normal table, and paste them back into a regex or normal table lookup. Refer to the request "Upload data from Google Sheets to regex/lookup tables".
