how to fix the "Please set up valid data source to select" in dashboard studio?

[selvam_sekar]

Hi,

I was trying the below token logic to get the results count from two different panels and find the variance between results. However, it gives error message as in snapshot.

Note: Panel A and Panel B i have enabled the set token ( basically tic marked "Use search results or job status as tokens")

Also, please suggest how to draw line not just horizontally but also vertically or custom?

SPL:

| makeresults
| eval variance=$A:result.count$ - $B:result.count$
| table variance

Error:

Thanks,

Selvam.

Are you trying to achieve something similar?

Here is a run anywhere example . Number input is only to change the value in the A box for demonstration
