Pumped up: A look at how the price of gas has risen

You most likely never have to have a extravagant Domo chart to notify you that gas has gotten very expensive. But we went in advance and imported weekly typical fuel charges from the U.S. Energy Details Company in any case. In executing so, we also get to take a look at a person of my most loved new characteristics in Domo: Sensible Textual content, which allows you insert dynamic text inside of both equally notebook playing cards and in the title for any card in Domo. So, when you choose one thing other than “United States” from the drop-down menu under “Geo Name” (under), it will also modify the chart future to it (“United States-Ordinary Weekly Fuel Prices”) to regardless of what region, state, or city you chose.

Similarly, the time interval will modify from “Last 30 Years” when I pick a various date selection, or emphasize a individual section in the line graph. “The Min Gas Price” and “Max Fuel Price” text use Domo dynamic summary figures, which permit me to add metrics to my narrative. These are great equipment for ensuring that customers have the right context even as they self-serve with unique filters and drills.

You will also discover right here that we are experimenting with a narrative element (nevertheless in pre-beta), which dynamically generates insights about a specified card in Domo. I truly like this characteristic since it aids bring new insights out of knowledge in a narrative format. As you filter for a new geography or a distinctive time period of time, the narrative refreshes with new insights. Fairly darn awesome, if you inquire me.

Considering the fact that we launched “Domo on Facts,” we have been fairly centered on U.S. info. That is much to the chagrin of some of my colleagues all over the earth, but it simply has to do with the challenge in having metrics from other governments, which are likely to be good at providing no cost information but undesirable at compiling across nations around the world. That explained, for this put up, we were equipped to uncover some details on international gasoline costs by means of the Global Petrol Costs website. The data is not obtainable for cost-free, but does give us some great context. For occasion, while gas in the U.S. is much more than $4 for each gallon, it is virtually $11 in Hong Kong and only somewhat considerably less than that in the Netherlands. Yikes.

We will get the job done to convey extra world-wide facts to these web pages in coming posts. Oh, and if you’re wondering when the last time gas was below $1 per gallon in the U.S., the solution is March 1999. How I extended for all those days!
