7-days average

Hello,

Making a chart with date in X axys with the number of tickets may be not really relevant as somedays you have less more tickets (sunday for example) and so it's difficult to see clearly a trend.

The trend with the pandemic and figures related is the 7 day average, for example on Google :

I am trying to do that on Explore (for each day compute an average on the last 7 days) but I did not find a way to do it (don't know if it is possible).

Does someone succeed to do a such metric ?

Thanks

No reply from Zendesk ? Regarding customer support, far from being acceptable..

Unfortunately, I do not believe this is possible in Explore.

Hi Thibault,

We can confirm on Graeme's comment that there's not a native function in Explore for mapping out a rolling average (e.g. 7 days) as a trendline on queries. We do recommend checking out Date Calculated Metrics, which allows you to create totals for a specified period of time:
https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022184194-Adding-time-and-date-calculated-metrics

For example, you can create a metric that returns the AVG of tickets created over the past 7 days. Note that this will be a single, discrete value rather than a continuous trend as shown in your screenshot.

I export Zendesk data to another tool called Acho and write a SQL query to calculate 7-day moving average. Maybe you can try some BI tools to analyze it. I know many BI tools can support SQL queries. 

(The tool I used in this query is called Acho Studio)
