is there any way I can group dates of a report in Google Sheets?
The difficulty that comes along is that this is a report that updates automatically every 4 hours (Salesforce connector).
When I add a slicer/filter option it shows me all the individual dates, but it would be great if I could somehow group them in the filter/slicer option only - without making changes to the live report from Salesforce.
Here is an example (Tab: Meetings): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IVJECB6z7pNXl2xas6O6uixx7gZ5GY0wZaFkaad01dY/edit?usp=sharing
In the example I do not have a live report (obviously), but I am afraid creating a new column for date or even pivot table will be difficult as there will be new record lines added to the sheet through the salesforce connector as it updates automatically..

I want to be able to generate a stacked bar chart based on the results of a query, for example the number of open bugs and open features. I would like to see the resulting number of open bugs vs features from that query over a time period, for example the last 30 days. Specifically the number of bugs vs features that were open on that particular day, regardless of their current status. Is there a way to do this using an existing out of the box widget? I believe it should be possible to figure out this information using the history. Alternatively, is it possible to simply store the totals from the query somewhere in devops and then chart it? Or would I need to write a script to export the query results via the api and then use something like the power bi widget to chart it?
Sure, you can set up a chart of the query about the bugs and features opened in the last 30 days.
To meet this demand, you can do like as the steps below:
Set up a query with the following filter clauses. Save this query to the Shared Queries folder.
Work Item Type In Bug,Feature
State = [Any]
Created Date >= #StartOfDay('-30d')
On the Charts tab of the new query, create a new chart for the query like as below.
After saving the chart, add this chart to a specified dashboard in the project.
After above steps, navigate to the specified dashboard in the project, you can see the chart on the dashboard.
[UPDATE]
According to your latest reply, you want to get the Bug and Feature that were open state in the last 30 days. For these work items, we can think they satisfy one of the following conditions:
The work items were closed in the last 30 days, no matter what date they were created.
The work items are still open state currently. They do not have the closed date yet.
So, set up the query like as below should be able to match these work items.
Work Item Type In Bug,Feature
And State = [Any]
And Closed Date >= #StartOfDay('-30d')
Or Closed Date =
Group the last two clauses.
Then create the chart for the query.
Maybe the stacked chart would go some way to answering your problem.

That produces charts with date as the x axis which, I think, is what you're looking for.
I want to display a single date dynamically in Google Data Studio. e.g. I want to display last Monday's date whatever it was e.g. 09-11-2020 and it would change to 16-11-2020 as the Monday 16-11-2020 would pass and so on.
I have a connection with BigQuery and I can connect from there to bring the date dynamically from BigQuery as:
SELECT DATE_TRUNC(DATE_ADD(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 7 day), WEEK(MONDAY)) as coming_monday
&
SELECT DATE_TRUNC(CURRENT_DATE(), WEEK(MONDAY)) as last_monday
So calculating dates isn't a problem as they are being received in Google Data Studio, however, I could not display them appropriately using any of the Google Data Studio tools like Text, etc.
Dates can currently be displayed in Google Data Studio Scorecards; in addition, the Calculated Fields in the question could be recreated by copy-pasting the below into the respective Scorecards, aggregating by MAX or MIN (which would display the same Date in this scenario) and then setting the Type to Date (Default: Date & Time):
1) Coming_Monday
DATETIME_TRUNC(DATETIME_ADD(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 7 DAY), ISOWEEK)
2) Last_Monday
DATETIME_TRUNC(CURRENT_DATE(), ISOWEEK)
Editable Google Data Studio Report and a GIF to elaborate:
It cannot set single dynamic value with straightforward way as text in GDS now.
But, you can use normal Table tool of GDS with single row, and it will show as single dynamic value that you need. Scorecard can also be used.
Here is how-to of using Table.
Under Data menu, set the date column that you want to display in Dimension, and do not set Metric. Also, choose Rows per page as 1.
Under Style menu, uncheck the Show header checkbox, Rows numbers checkbox and Shows pagination checkbox.
When you view the report, it will show as text.

I am currently working on a dashboard in tableau, which shows the count of New-User-Signups and Interactions side-by-side given different date windows. The first New-User-Signup happened before the first Interaction, and the last Interaction happened after the last User Signup.
In order to choose a date window, I linked the date fields in both data sources, and made a date filter, which I applied to all worksheets using related data sources.
However, depending on which "date" field I choose, (from the User Signup table or the Interaction table), the "All Dates" option of the date filter only goes from start to end of that data source's date range.
No matter what I try, I exclude some entries in either one graph or the other. How can I make the "All Dates" filter go from the minimum first date between both data sources, to the maximum last date between the two data sources?
I run into this issue a lot with the data that I use. The problem is that the filter will only be able to contain dates that are in the dataset it is created off of, even if you link the data sources. When I run into this issue, I use parameters instead.

I have a dashboard I am developing in 2018.2.3 Desktop that will eventually get published to our internal Tableau Web Portal. I am writing a "Help" tab that has some documentation, directions, etc. for users to view in case they are curious what report is for, how to use it, definitions, etc..
One piece that I want to include at the header of this are three dates:
Report Created
Report Data Refresh
Report Publish Date
The first two are simple, the "Report Created" is just text, since I have no idea how to get the date the report was actually started. Text is fine for this. The Data Refresh is simple as using the, "". That works perfectly.
My only issue is I'd like to include the most recent publish date / revision. Now, I see this in the Tableau Web as meta data on the dashboard, but I'd like it to be part of this "Help" page. Is there a way to do this with some sort of dimension or variable? Thanks in advance.
If you are on Server and not Online, you can take a look at getting this data from the WORKGROUP database that Tableau Server runs from. Use this guide from Tableau to get that setup.
Then you will want to look at the workbook, sites and workbook_versions tables. Here is a sample query that could help.
select s.name site, w.name workbook, wv.version_number, wv.published_at, w.updated_at
from workbooks w
left join sites s on w.site_id = s.id
left join workbook_versions wv on w.id = wv.workbook_id
where upper(w.name) like '%<WORKBOOK>%'
group by 1,2,3,4,5
having w.updated_at = max(w.updated_at)
published_at is a timestamp of the initial publish.
updated_at is the last date it was updated.
version_number is a count of how many times the workbook has been published to on that site.
Here is a data dictionary for all the other available tables.
You can pull this query as a new data source and build the text that you want to display.
I am using Power BI in my current project for making charts. My data source is Azure SQL database.
I would like a table chart to display today and yesterday data only, for which i used advanced filtering by setting the filter to today and yesterday dates. However, I want to be able to open my report tomorrow and see charts use data from tomorrow and today respectively.
With advanced filtering the charts appear static, not dynamic.
It would be good if someone could explain how to write queries in Power BI on my tables.
You could either
1) modify your sql query to only return today and yesterday data
or
2) add a calculated boolean column, something along the lines of
"IsCurrent = IF(AND(DATEVALUE(Table1[Date])<=TODAY() , 1.0*(DATEVALUE(Table1[Date])-TODAY())<=2),True,False)"
Then filter by IsCurrent.
Using the SDK you can apply filter(s) dynamically to the report. This allows you to simulate the user filtering the report data to the current day and yesterday.
Your client app would compute the correct filter data values and apply it to the report. Using something like report.setFilters(filters)
