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

You most likely really do not need a fancy Domo chart to tell you that gasoline has gotten pretty high priced. But we went forward and imported weekly ordinary gas prices from the U.S. Vitality Information and facts Agency anyway. In doing so, we also get to check out one of my favorite new capabilities in Domo: Good Textual content, which allows you insert dynamic textual content in both notebook playing cards and in the title for any card in Domo. So, when you pick some thing other than “United States” from the fall-down menu less than “Geo Name” (under), it will also change the chart next to it (“United States-Regular Weekly Gas Prices”) to what ever location, state, or metropolis you selected.

Equally, the time time period will modify from “Last 30 Years” when I select a distinct date selection, or spotlight a individual segment in the line graph. “The Min Gas Price” and “Max Fuel Price” textual content use Domo dynamic summary figures, which let me to add metrics to my narrative. These are terrific resources for guaranteeing that users have the good context even as they self-serve with diverse filters and drills.

You will also discover here that we are experimenting with a narrative function (nevertheless in pre-beta), which dynamically generates insights about a specified card in Domo. I definitely like this feature simply because it assists convey new insights out of data in a narrative structure. As you filter for a new geography or a diverse time period of time, the narrative refreshes with new insights. Quite darn interesting, if you check with me.

Due to the fact we launched “Domo on Information,” we have been fairly centered on U.S. facts. Which is significantly to the chagrin of some of my colleagues all-around the world, but it just has to do with the obstacle in getting metrics from other governments, which are likely to be good at offering cost-free details but terrible at compiling throughout nations around the world. That mentioned, for this submit, we have been able to discover some details on world fuel costs by using the Worldwide Petrol Charges internet site. The details is not offered for absolutely free, but does give us some great context. For instance, though gas in the U.S. is extra than $4 per gallon, it’s nearly $11 in Hong Kong and only a bit much less than that in the Netherlands. Yikes.

We will perform to carry a lot more international data to these webpages in coming posts. Oh, and if you are wanting to know when the final time fuel was less than $1 for each gallon in the U.S., the solution is March 1999. How I very long for individuals days!
