Is there any convenient way of knowing which action type number means? I know I can do it by hovering over the table but it would be nice to be able to actually report this way instead of having to refer back to Thanks

You can use one of these techniques to make them a more friendly read: [image] Using VALUES or CASE to make your results more readable Data & reporting Sometimes when building a query with the data explorer you’ll find codes are used in the results rather than their textual equivalents. The field often has a key in the data explorer tree, but these don’t tend to be as useful when it comes to the results (unless you’ve managed to memorise them all slight_smile) There are a couple of things you can use to make these easier on the eye, and much more widely shareable with others. First up… VALUES This first query was created to pull up all the… For reference: [image]

OK, so I’m unsure how to get the “like” for 1 to appear in the data as opposed to just “1” which as you said, it’s not that useful. Is there another table other than user actions I need to join to to get this? I took a look myself and it wasn’t clear, plus I’ve already had to snip that tooltip in order to have some semblance of an idea behind the numbers which isn’t ideal or automated.

Did you read the topic that JammyDodger linked to? It explains how to do it.

Read it, it’s what I’d already done but didn’t know if there was a quicker way (i.e. if there was another table to easily link to instead of creating another with statement) Have marked his comment as the solution
