CarolineH For the "Key Driver Widget" update, is relative importance analysis now taking weigting into account? The old version didn't, and it's a huge issue with having the whole dashboard weigted except this one widget.

Hi InessaG! Yes, Relative Importance Analysis does take weighting into account.

AmaraW Thanks for your response. In that case, either StatIQ or this widget are wrong because they are showing VERY different results in terms of relative importance when the same drivers are included.

InessaG do you have any filters applied to your dashboard? Filters will cause the widget to process a different dataset from what you are seeing in StatsiQ. If you do not have any filters applied, I recommended reaching out to our support team so they can help you figure out what might be causing this.
