DataWorks:Visualize data on a dashboard

Last Updated:Nov 14, 2024

DataWorks DataAnalysis provides a data visualization tool that you can use to visualize processed data in charts. This helps you quickly extract key information. This topic provides an example on how to use DataWorks to visualize user profile data.

Prerequisites

The required data is processed before you start the example. This means that the data that you want to use for a test is processed into basic user profile data by using DataWorks DataStudio.

Go to the SQL Query page

In this example, the SQL query feature of DataAnalysis is used to show how data is visualized.

Log on to the DataWorks console. In the top navigation bar, select the desired region. In the left-side navigation pane, choose DataAnalysis > SQL Query. On the page that appears, select the desired workspace from the drop-down list and click Go to SQL Query.

Configure a data source for an SQL query

  1. Manage permissions on a data source.

    To use a data source in DataAnalysis, you must have the required permissions on the data source. You can perform the following operations to grant your account the required permissions on the data source: Go to the Security Center page and choose Security policy > Data query and analysis control. On the page that appears, click the Queryable data source tab, find the data source that you want to query, and then click Authorization in the Actions column. For more information, see Use the data query and analysis control feature.

  2. Create a temporary file.

    1. Method 1: The first time you go to the SQL Query page or if no SQL query file is opened on the page, click Create SQL Query in the right-side area to create a temporary file.

    2. Method 2: If an existing SQL query file is opened, click the image.png icon to the right of the name of the existing file to create a temporary file.

    Note

    For more information about how to create an SQL query file, see Create an SQL query file.

  3. Select a data source for the SQL query file.

    On the configuration tab of the SQL query file, click the image.png icon in the upper-right corner to select a workspace, a compute engine type, and a data source for the SQL query file. In this example, a MaxCompute data source is selected.

Write SQL statements

On the configuration tab of the SQL query file, enter the following SQL statement and click the image.png icon to query data in the ads_user_info_1d table. In this example, data in the dt="20230222" partition is queried.

-- If the desired partition is not found, you can run the show partitions tablename command to view and confirm the table partition. 
select * from ads_user_info_1d where dt='Data timestamp';
