Here's everything new and improved in Golden Analytics this week.

New Features

Radial Charts

A new Radial chart type is now available in the chart builder and AI-generated dashboards. Radial charts are great for showing part-to-whole relationships with a circular layout. You can customize the legend position and resize them freely on the dashboard canvas.

Metric Embed Cards

You can now embed live metric cards — complete with sparklines, trend badges, and goal progress — directly into your dashboards, stories, and documents. Add one via right-click on the dashboard canvas and it will stay in sync with your data automatically.

Rich Text Formatting in Dashboard Text Blocks

Dashboard text elements now support inline formatting (bold, italic, links) and automatically scale font size to fit the container as you resize it.

Smarter Calculated Field Formatting

When creating or editing a calculated field, Golden now detects the field type from your formula and shows the right formatting controls — date formats for date fields, geographic subtypes for geographic fields, and number formats for numeric fields.

Improvements

• Better AI insights for Live Query (warehouse connections): Live Query now samples 500 rows from your warehouse when generating AI insights, resulting in more accurate and relevant analysis.
• Databricks: connect with Google OAuth: Databricks connections now support Google OAuth federation as an authentication method, in addition to existing options.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed: Switching datasets quickly no longer shows wrong suggestions — AI visualization suggestions from a previous dataset could appear after switching to a new one. This is now fixed.
• Fixed: "Add to Analyze" for AI-suggested charts now works reliably — Adding multiple AI-suggested visualizations at once previously caused broken or missing charts.
• Fixed: Large datasets (100k+ rows) no longer crash the app — Certain operations on very large datasets triggered a "Maximum call stack exceeded" error.
• Fixed: Year columns (e.g. release_year) now recognized as dates — Fields with names like release_year or original_year are now correctly treated as date fields, enabling proper time-based analysis and charting.
