TL;DR InfluxDB Tech Tips – Add Temporary Data with Flux

In this article, Anais Dotis-Georgiou shares a way to generate temporary data with Flux in InfluxDB 2.0, allowing developers to create an initial or default state for one of the input tables needed for a task that requires joining two tables, even if not all data is available. To achieve this, users can navigate to the Data Explorer tab and use the query builder to return similar data from another table, then download it as an Annotated CSV file. The CSV is modified slightly to add new data points, which are then used with the Flux `csv.from()` function to generate a temporary table in InfluxDB 2.0. This workaround provides a solution until a more elegant feature is developed.
