Relative Change Alerts
Summary
- Relative Change Alerts evaluate based on the nature of the data change in a Cell’s value
- They can respond to any change, a relative change or an absolute change
Relative Change Alerts are similar to Data Change Alerts, but they evaluate on the relative nature of the change made to a given Cell's value.
There are 3 Relative Change Alerts types, each levaraging an associated Relative Change Expression:
| Function | When Alert is Triggered |
|---|---|
| ANY_CHANGE | Any change at all to the Cell's value |
| PERCENT_CHANGE | If the value of Cell changes by a given percent amount |
| ABSOLUTE_CHANGE | If the value of Cell changes by a given absolute amount |

Any Change
Any Any Change Alert fires if there is any change at all to the Cell's value.
It leverages the ANY_CHANGE Expression Function.
- This example displays an Info Alert which fires when there is any change to a Cell's value in any numeric column (using
ANY_CHANGEexpression)
Percent Change
A Percent Change Alert fires if the value of a Cell changes by a given percent amount.
It leverages the PERCENT_CHANGE Expression Function.
Hint
PERCENT_CHANGE can be given a "direction" to limit the evaluation to percent increases or decreases
- This example displays 2 Warning Alerts which check for relative percent changes (leveraging the
PERCENT_CHANGEexpression function)- on the
Github Starscolumn if the cell's value changes by more than 50% (in any direction) - on the
Github Watcherscolumn if the cell's value increases by more than 50%
- on the
Absolute Change
An Absolute Change Alert fires if the value of a Cell changes by a given absolute amount.
It leverages the ABSOLUTE_CHANGE Expression Function.
Hint
ABSOLUTE_CHANGE can be given a "direction" to limit the evaluation to percent increases or decreases
- This example displays 2 Success Alerts which check for relative absolute changes (leveraging the
ABSOLUTE_CHANGEexpression function)- on the
Github Starscolumn if the cell's value changes by more than 100 (in any direction) - on the
Github Watcherscolumn if the cell's value decreases by exactly 20
- on the
