More often than not, you find yourself browsing a particular dashboard. You find something interesting or strange and a question pops up in your head. Or, you want to quickly slice and dice (on dimensions that the dashboard creator has not exposed as a filter). You either have to copy the query to a new SQL query page, or ping the analyst.
Not anymore, now you can just ask MinusX! Open any dashboard on your Metabase, and directly ask the question you have. MinusX will run the query in the background, give you the answer and allow you to continue the analysis in another window.
Dashboard QA works both if you have Default Tables, or MinusX Catalogs selected. In both modes, MinusX takes into account the SQL in the cards of the dashboard and the tables. to come up with the query.
Technical Details
Despite executing in the background, the query is still run locally. Like other parts of MinusX, we compute the context on the browser window.
Note: We do not yet support MBQL cards (Metabase GUI cards / questions), but will soon!
