I'm looking to create a packed bubble graph like the below (size of the bubble corresponds to population, and the color of the bubble corresponds to number of widgets sales). The graph is exactly the way I need it, except that I would like to arrange the countries so that they are grouped by continent. Is there a way to do this in Tableau?
I've tried to recreate a similar scenario even though it's not clear if the bubble color should (or not) be related to a specific field.
That being said, using the superstore dataset, I've "grouped" customers by region (color) so they are some how aligned through inner circles.
In order to do so, I just sorted the region pillow in the detail section.
See below.

I am making an interactive dashboard in Tableau that looks something like this:

(for your best viewing experience, please view the dashboard in the fullscreen view - button on bottom right corner of the board)
I need some help with the bar chart.
I currently have a reference line in place to mark the two averages so that they don’t move as I filter through data. When using the average line feature, the filters on the left change all the graphs on the dashboard in real-time (and thus the average with it). So, it seems like the average line is built from the data points currently on display rather than all the data points in our data set.
I want to show the averages on the bar graph as they are in the image (a constant for the whole data set) without having to manually set the average each time I add/update the data.
How do I make it so that when I change the filters, the bar graph changes but the average stays constant?
Thank you so much!
You can self-blend the data sources - duplicate the data source, but DON'T join any fields/set up relationships. The lack of join can make the secondary source act as a constant.
Alternatively create a FIXED calculation to calculate the average. This should also act as a constant - just make sure none of your filters are in context.
I would like to make a chart showing assessment scores by gender. I would like one bubble to show the % of total students for each tick on the x-axis (call this class number). Next, I want the inner bubble to fill the first bubble based on the % of total passing grades. I also want to break it down by gender. The following is an illustration of what I am looking for:
There will be 2 bubbles per x-axis value (one for males and one for females). If the proportion of passing grades for a class is greater than it's proportion of students, then the outer bubble will be larger than the inner bubble and the colors will invert (I suppose opacity will work too).
If a bubble-in-bubble is not possible, what other chart types would you recommend? Just side-by-side bar-in-bar?
I guess we cannot have nested bubbles in Tableau.
I have 2 dimensions (one is BUG_ID, the other is severity).
I have defined a specific color for each possible severity (blocker == red, normal= orange...)
I am using a table and I want to color the BUG_ID dimension value (the text) according to the color defined for reach severity for example:
I have tried several things but cannot figure out how to do it.
Any idea ?
Generally Tableau is a data visualisation tool, so if you want to create graphs of any kind it's great. If you want to create a table and format text, stick to Excel!
You can drag all dimensions you would like to have in the rows shelf. eg: [Description] and [Status]. Now you can drag the [BUG_ID] onto "Text" in the Marks pane. That will display the bug ID, but it will be on the right of all other dimensions. And you won't be able to change it.
To color it, just drag [Severity] onto colur and choose the colors you want.
I have data from 48 countries. I am trying to visualize it on a map. I want to display half the countries in 1 color and the other half in another color. This segmentation is based on another column which has string value 'yes' or 'no'. I want to do it on tableau
Country data OFF
------------------------
US 100,000 yes
IN 200,000 yes
BR 300,000 no
MX 150,000 no
I want to plot US, IN in Blue and BR, MX in green. The shades of green and blue are dependent on the values of data.
Have you tried to drag the OFF field to Color in the sheet? This should do the trick
You can put either the measure data on the color shelf to color by value, or the dimension OFF on the color shelf to color by OFF -- i.e. to use color to encode a single field's value.
If you want to color by two dimension fields, you can get the shading effect you mention by putting both on the color shelf -- using the shift key to add the second one if it's not in a hierarchy with the first one.
If you want to color by both a dimension and a measure (as in your case), you have to go to a little more effort -- assuming its worth it. You can make a calculated field that uses both fields to map into a category (say returning a string like "off yes, data high" or "off yes, data mid") and then edit the colors to map them as you like.
My SSRS report does not show all the labels on the horizontal axis. Please see below.
Note how the red arrows point to the few that do show. So my question is, where are the rest of the labels? Each bar should have one.
For the chart I'm adding number data for the bars, and another field for the Category Groups. That field in Category Group is for the labels.
Does anyone know why some are missing?
Also, a second but less important question, why is the order of the bars not the same order as the dataset?
The problem here is that if there are too many data bars the labels will not show.
To fix this, under the "Chart Axis" properties set the Interval value to "=1". Then all the labels will be shown.
Go to Horizontal axis properties,choose 'Category' in AXIS type,choose "Disabled" in SIDE Margin option
It looks as though the horizontal axis (Category Group) labels have very long values - there may not be room to display them all. I suggest changing the labels to have shorter values.
You can set the sort order for the Category Groups in the Category Group Properties - Sorting section - this may have been previously set; if not, I suggest using this to sort as desired.
(Three years late...) but I believe the answer to your second question is that SSRS essentially treats data from your datasets as unsorted; I'm not sure if it ignores any ORDER BY in the sql, or if it just assumes the data is unsorted.
To sort your groups in a particular order, you need to specify it in the report:
Select the chart,
In the Chart Data popup window (where you specify the Category Groups), right-click your Group and click Category Group Properties,
Click on the Sorting option to see a control to set the Sort order
For the report I just created, the default sort order on the category was alphabetic on the category group which was basically a string code. But sometimes it can be useful to sort by some other characteristic of the data; for example, my report is of Average and Maximum processing times for messages identified by some code (the category). By setting the sort order of the group to be on [MaxElapsedMs], Z->A it draws my attention to the worst-performing message-types.
This sort of presentation won't be useful for every report but it can be an excellent tool to guide readers to have a better understanding of the data; though on other occasions you might prefer a report to have the same ordering every time it runs, in which case sorting on the category label itself may be best... and I guess there are circumstances where changing the sort order could harm understanding, such as if the categories implied some sort of ordering (such as date values?)
Really late reply for me, but I just suffered the pain of this problem as well.
What fixed it for me (after trying the Axis label settings and intervals from those screens, none of which worked!) was select the Horizontal Axis, then when you can see all the properties find Labels, and change LabelInterval to 1.
For some reason when I set this from the pop up properties screens it either never 'stuck' or it changes a slightly different value that didn't fix my issue.

To see all dates on the report;
Set Axis Type to Scalar,
Set Interval to 1
-Jump Labels section
Set disable auto-fit
set label rotation angle as you desire.
These would help.
