We are using Athena/DynamoDB as our data source and trying to configure incremental SPICE refreshes. I have an epoch timestamp for each record but no other date fields in my dataset. Is there a way an incremental refresh can use this field? Right now Quicksight is telling me I don’t have a valid date field. I use calculated fields to transform my dates for visualizations but I presume SPICE can’t use this as they care calculated after the fact.
I don’t think it can use that.
Can you convert that to field to a date field?
Something like in these examples.
Hi @bills
Did you try out the solution provided by @Max ? If it helped you resolve the question, please help the community by marking his answer as a “Solution.”
If we don’t hear back in the next 7 days, we will archive this question. Thanks!
The data is coming from AWS IoT so it looks like I’m limited to the functions for data transformation, Functions - AWS IoT Core.
I found another date field (w/out time) that wasn’t being populated properly because its name is “date” which is probably reserved. When I did a “SELECT AS new_field_name” it started populating correctly. Even though the date doesn’t have a time SPICE can still use it for a daily refresh. Thanks all.
