This page provides information to solve common dashboard problems.

**I get different results when I rearrange my functions**

Function order is very important. Just like in math, the order that you place your functions can affect the result.

**Inspect your query request and response**

The most common problems are related to the query and response from your data source. Even if it looks like a bug or visualization issue in Grafana, it is almost always a problem with the data source query or the data source response. Start by inspecting your panel query and response.

For more information, refer to [Inspect request and response data](v10-panels-panel-inspector.md).

**My query is slow**

How many data points is your query returning? A query that returns lots of data points will be slow. Try this:
+ In **Query options**, limit the **Max data points** returned.
+ In **Query options**, increase the **Min interval** time.
+ In your query, use a `group by` function.
