Replacing values in a column with the results of a query variable

Grafana Dashboards

My Grafana dashboard has two tings, a table with one column displaying user_AccountID, and a variable Companies that queries a database returning id + name . Now I simply want to replace that UUID in the table with the name that was queries by variable.

The table is based on a KQL query so I’ve been trying to use extend to create a new field based on $Companies but no luck.

Looking in the transformation options, I did not find anything helpful there except of “Field lookup”, which is exactly what I need, but it’s in alpha stage and only allows looking up countries, states, and airports.

One solution that I found was using overrrides > fields with name > value mappings. But here we have to manually add every UUID and customer name that needs to be replaced.

Looking for solution i keep finding posts about chained variables. Chained variables are not a solution to this problem. If you think they are please let me know how because the documentation is not helpful.

Found a solution!

First, the Data Source of the panel needs to be set to – Mixed –

In Transform do an Outer join There needs to be a common field. One of my queries is based on the Infinity plugin which allows renaming them

Other transformations such as Organize fields, and Filter data by values are helpful too

hi, I have the same problem, but I cant match my key fields, cause from one data source I get the value of the filed am looking for, but in the other data source I get the results of the fromula I use in the other data source, I mean (like a table):
Last Value
Field Requested 1 97
Field Requested 2 98
Field Requested 3 99

Then in my other data source I get :

                      node 1                          node 2                        node 3

string Field Requested 1 Field Requested 2 Field Requested 3

You get my problem now_? as this is not a time series I can not convert from series to row neither.

I need to convert that result in the second data source in Fileds and then I can match it using a join transformation
