I'm trying to create a cumulative quarterly count divided by week. I have the underlying table that looks like this:
Date
Id
01/01/2022
X
02/01/2022
Y
The result is this

There are some white spaces due to particular weeks where there are no data. I would like to fill these blank spaces with the value of the week before (as it should be on a cumulative count) and with zero if it's the first week of the quarter.
Is there a way to solve this problem without creating any support table or any "fake data" to avoid the cell to be blank?

Spotfire question: I have a data table with monthly data that is visualized in a bar chart. I however also want to visualize the information in quarters, by showing the latest month of the quarter in the format '20Q1, 20Q2, etc.'. (So I don't want to use standard 'date format'.)
My idea was to create an additional column that is filled for March, June, Sep, Dec and empty for the other months. Then with a document property, the user can select to either view the data in months or in quarters (i.e. the last month of the quarter).
So far so good, my data now looks like this:
Month
Value
YearQuarter
Jan-20
100
Feb-20
200
Mar-20
400
20Q1
Apr-20
125
May-20
101
Jun-20
300
20Q2
The problem now is that when I visualize the data with YearQuarter on the x-axis, it also shows all the (empty) values in a bucket. See below. How to solve this? Note that the x-axis has a custom expression "<$esc(${Granularity})>", where Granularity is a document property to determine what column to pick.
Did you try limiting your data with whatever expression you have put in x axis.
Thanks
I have a dataset in which date value shows In quarter and values show as 2008Q1, 2008Q2, 2008Q3 and Power BI detect this column as a text and every time I tried to change its type to date the whole column shows Error keyword.
I want to create a new measure where I can convert quarter to year and then take the quarter average value as my calculation.
2008Q1,2008Q2 , 2008Q3,2008Q4 TO 2008.
Thanks
You can just keep your current column as it is now. To achieve Year and Quarter from value for other purposes, Just create 2 new column Year and Quarter using values from your existing column. Follow these below steps in Power Query Editor-
Step-1: Duplicate your Quarter column.
Step-2: Split the new column with fixed length either with Left 4 character or Right 2 character. Now you have 2 new column first having Year and second one having New_Quarter value in the data set.
Now rename your 2 new column with related label and use where it is required.
In Quicksight, I have data like this:
What I am trying to do:
I want a chart that shows the sum of amount over created_date WITH the sum of amount over resolved_date (that second part is the challenge, the first one is easy). So it is kind of using dates as an X-axis, just that they are different date fields (created_date and resolved_date). Is there a way of doing this?
Original post - https://community.tableau.com/thread/206909
I have a report in which I have sales per month in the column and commodities in the row. The data show actual sales and future estimates for each month.
Need to calculate Year-To-Date (YTD) total for 2016 (from Jan to Previous month) and have it in a single column at the end of the actual values.
I already created a calculated field - YTD
IF
YEAR([DATE]) = YEAR(NOW())
AND
MONTH([DATE])< MONTH(NOW())
THEN
[VALUE/UNIT]
ELSE
0
END
But when I add to the view, it creates a another section for YTD with sum for each month till April.
Can someone please help me in how to achieve this in Tableau?
There are couple of ways to achieve this view in Tableau
1. To create calculated field for each Month and YTD and add measure names in Row & Measure values in Text
2. Make union of 2 queries - one that select all the correct values & second that have YTD calculation in month column. Then use pivot it
This relates to my How do I achieve a pivot report in Crystal Reports for Visual Studio? The data is the same, but they want a line chart as well.
So, my data is {datetime}, {car-id}. The X -axis of the chart must show the hour of {datetime}, the Y axis the number of cars that entered the park at that hour, and I must have seven data series, lines, one for each day of the week. So, e.g. the x/y point on the green line shows that on Wednesday, at hour x, y cars entered the car park.
Common sense tells me that I can kludge this by transforming the data source so that each day has its own column in a table, a table like this:
DateTime
WeekDay
CarCount
Yet the Crystal line chart doesn't seem to support more than one column, so there must be a different and better way of doing this. The weekday is part of {datetime} after all.
How can I achieve this chart? I am a rank amateur at charting, and Crystal's idiosyncrasies really aggravate my lack of skills and experience in this area.
It's not obvious how to get multiple series to show up properly.
First, create a formula that will extract the day of week from the datetime: dayofweek({datetime}) and then create another that will extract just the hour: hour({datetime}).
From there, insert a chart from scratch and make the following settings in the Chart Expert
Select "Line" under the Type tab
Under the Data tab, select "On change of" and select your {#HourOfDay} formula first. This will create each hour as a point on the X-axis.
In that same spot, also insert the {#DayofWeek} formula. This will create a new line
for each day of the week. This is, in my opinion, the non-obvious part.
Finally, to pick your Y-axis values,
select {car-id} where it says "Show value(s)". It should default to
the count summary of that field.
(Note: in the screenshot below, you would just replace {Customer.Customer_Name} with {car-id}
I had this issue for 5 years and finally solved it. I have a XY chart with multiple series.
Everything needs to be in a formula.
The graph should be in the report header section of a subreport. The sub report generates the X Y data like this:
Series X Y
Ser1 2020 1
Ser1 2021 2
Ser2 2020 0
Ser2 2021 1
For me I have as series "Energy" ie 6, 9, 12 etc.
Then I have a date/time and a measurement.
On change of (Energy formula)
Show Values
#1 DateTime (convert this to int ie 2000.9 for 9/2000) - dont summerize
#2 Measurement (number) - dont' summerize
Then you can do the color highlighter to capture your series (6 is red etc).
The legend won't work - can't figure out that yet.
