HI I am playing with looker in creating different views/looks, I have a table that I currently working where when I try to show the Tenure of an employee looker is returning the data in Days where as I would like to see the data displayed as Months/Year
For example here’s what I have in a table
Name Tenure Today
John Doe 400
I would like to this to display as
Name Tenure Today
John Doe 1.1 Year

Hi Momo,
It looks like you may need a new dimension in your LookML to do the trick.
Please find the following steps in this example to achieve the desired output.
1.- Create two dimensions as it is shown in the example, these 2 dimensions have the following purpose:
employee_tenure_in_years: get the conversion of days to years. This is a number type dimension
employee_tenure_in_yeats_with_label: add the label “year(s)” to the dimension1. This is a string type dimension
2.- Save all changes in your LookML and open an explore to see the output:
(Please see the green rectangle in this screenshot ):
Hope it helps!
Best regards,
Leo
