I am struggling to figure out how to make a multi-band light curve in the Portal. Can someone help me? With a query like this, I can get the forced fluxes for a given DiaObject: SELECT fsodo.band, fsodo.psfDiffFlux, fsodo.psfDiffFluxErr, cv.expMidptMJD FROM dp02_dc2_catalogs.ForcedSourceOnDiaObje…

Hello, the only solution I found as workaround for the Firefly limit on char column is to convert the band column to ASCII. [Screenshot 2023-03-29 at 10.02.38] And then use it as color map: [Screenshot 2023-03-29 at 10.11.05] It seems that ASCII function is not available directly in ADQL quer…

I can’t offer any insight specifically for this problem, but for SDSS queries, the SQL CONVERT function is what’s been recommended to me to use for casts, like this (where so is a table alias): ..., CONVERT(bigint, so.specObjID) as specObjID, ... For your case I suppose you’d try float as the type…

Thank you @gabrimaine , that workaround does get the points colored by band, though I think alternative (or maybe I should say custom) functionality to make this easier for users (and to add a legend) is still in development. [Screen Shot 2023-03-29 at 4.27.53 PM]

Confirmed! It’s in the Portal development plan to make category columns (whether string or numeric, so we can usefully handle column ranges like {1,2,3,999} without washing out the 1/2/3 distinction) directly usable in the Color Map and Size Map fields, and to provide a legend.
