Hello,
I'm totally new to this forum and Pentaho in general.
I have installed the Enterprise edition of Pentaho and started to play around with the information and reading the instruction manuals.
I have some very basic questions that I need answered so that I can grasp the whole concept of using Pentaho, so please bear with me :)
Q1. Pentaho User Console - Interactive report
I have set up a connection to a SQL Database with informtion. I have also imported a csv file with other information.
I want to create an interactive report with data from both sources and I only seems to be able to do it with one at a time...?
Q2. Pentaho User Console Dashboard
My SQL database is updated with new information constantly and I want that information to be shown in the dashbord.
I seem to get a grasp of this and the information is shown. However, the information in the database is shown as numbers instead of informative text.
ex. country Italy = 1 in the database, country Finland = 2 in the database etc. and the corresponding number is shown in the dashbord.
What I want to do is to connect each database number with informative text to be show at the dashboard.
I need someone to point me in the right direction on how do do this!
Q3. Pentaho User Console Dashboard/Interactive Report
I have a table in the SQL database called "date" which stores a date in UNIX timestamp. Again when using this field in either reporting or dashboard, it doesn't say very much to the end user.
Again, I need to be pointed in the right direction in how to overcome this problem...
Pentaho is a huge program and I don't know where to start...
sorry, but English is not my native language.
