I have a column in a report, it has all the updated values. I am using that column as a drop down in data control. I can get data for the selected date from drop down, but I want recent date to be selected in drop down by default. As in I want report to load in dashboard only for the recent updatedAt date and that date should be selected by default in drop down.
I have used a filter like this:
Include .. updatedAt equaul to (=).. today.
It is giving me the today's date in the drop down, but when I try to select it, for some reason, it does not get selected.enter image description here

I have 3 tables StartDateSelect EndDateSelect and Date.
Date is what is driving my other table in the report.
Note Date3 is formatted as 123ABC to show "Latest" for the latest date after refresh else show Date. This is to make sure that for each scheduled refresh, I will always have the filters show as the latest date so the user doesn't have to switch it each day.
In my dashboard, I have two filters for date selection (start and End). I have selected the dates I want as shown:
I want the Dates table to be filtered for values BETWEEN the selected Start Date and Selected End Date (which in most cases will be stuck on "Latest")
I've played with filters on visuals and index columns with no luck, and I can't seem to get this to work. Or if there's another way to do this. The Between filter won't work with a word called "Latest" in it as it's ABC123 format by default.
Create a measure as follows.
Measure =
VAR cursor = MAX('Date'[Dates])
VAR startDate = MAX(StartDatesSelect[Dates])
VAR endDate = MAX(EndDateSelect[Dates])
RETURN IF(cursor IN DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Dates], startDate, endDate),1,0)
Set a filter on your visual as follows:
That's it.
I have created daily dashboard which shows the data for single date selected from DATE PARAMETER (with ALL value). Which is OK for me that I can see the data for any date I want.
But the problem is when I open my dashboard it is showing data for date which I selected in date parameter while publishing the Dashboard to Server/Online and Instead of that I want set it default to Yesterday.
i.e. when I open my dashboard first time it should show yesterday's data and also there should option to change date as well to see another date data.
Can we achieve this using DATE PARAMETER (with ALL values)? If it is not possible then is there any other way?
Please Help!
Use a relative date filter instead of a parameter. Just be sure to save and publish the workbook with Yesterday as the relative date value.
1, Create a calculation field d_yesterday, formula is TODAY()-1
2, Create a parameter, data type is Date, value when workbook opens set to d_yesterday
3, use the Date parameter in other calculations fields, or insert parameter into custom SQL query.
I already have a date time column which is updated every time I ingest new data and it works, but I would like to do the same for a new column but just with the date, not the time. Please see the picture attached. What should I write in the Default option? Table column definitions
You could set the default value to CURRENT_DATE ON UPDATE CURRENT_DATE in your EventDate field.
But wouldn't it be better to extract date from the already existing EventDateTime field with DATE_FORMAT(EventDateTime, '%Y-%m-%d') or DATE(EventDateTime) functions?
I created calendar selector on date attribute.
when I select only From date, I get a message'No data returned for this view'.
when I select only To date,I am able to fetch all data values.
when I select From date and To date together, I get a Message "No data returned for this view".
when I run the report without any date selection (empty dates), I am able to fetch all data values.
I need related data values between From date and To date as per date selection.
I have one vertica query in my tableau,
select * from mytable where Date(sometimestamp) between
start_date and end_date
As you can see data varies as per change in date range.
My issue is to set start_date as default to current_date - 90 and end_date as current_date.
There is not issue in making end_date as current_date but no idea about how to set start_date as current_date-90 in tableau.
I tried making calculated fields etc but none helps.
Could you please guide me on how to do that.
Note - Both, start_date and end_date should be calendar component not dropdowns or slider.
You can accomplish this by adding a filter to your data source -- note that you won't be able to control this filter from the dashboard (if that's what you want to do, you'll need to create a calculated field and let the users interact with it), rather, this is a datasource level filter.
Go to the data source and click "Add" under the filters text in the top right, then click "Add"
Click the "Relative dates"
Then, select Relative Dates, Months, Last 3 (Or select Days and enter 90 under the "Last" radio button) and press OK.
You said you have the end date handled, but you can create another data source filter to handle the end date if you want.
