I am using the Repeating Panels option with AppDynamics datasource. I want to calculate the mean for only certain fields, using Transform (Reduce Row) on each each panel with different field names in the panels (totally about 50 panels). Since I am calculating the mean for only certain fields, I can't use "Replace All Fields".
I can use one Transform for each panel, for calculating the mean for fields present in that panel and hide the other 49 mean value alias names with null values in legends and the tool tip. But I really don't want to write 50 transform rules, one for each panel.
Is there a way to do this without a Transform for each panel? Could we use Regex for field names in Transform (Reduce Row) mode?
Thanks

I have a report that is designed to allow users who aren't proficient in Tableau visualize data in the form of a bar graph. There are some drop downs on the side that allow them to select some dimensions. These dimensions then populate the graph. The labels in the graph, however, do not match the dimension name selected, and I was curious how to do this. So for instance on the right hand side Dimension 1 is set to Item Subcategory, and I'd like it to say that in the graph as well, instead of being labeled Dimension 1.
The drop downs on the right are generated from this code in the dimension itself:
If anyone has any ideas on how to do this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
The way I would do this would be to hide the column headers on the sheet itself, or edit their aliases to just a bunch of spaces so it appears blank.
You can then create a sheet with the Dimension 1 parameter on the Text shelf, formatted to look like a column header (or formatted however you want it to look), and add that sheet to the dashboard as a floating sheet. Repeat for the other two dimension parameters, position the sheet above the column so it looks like the header, and there you go! Whenever the parameter changes, the column header will change to match too.
I would note that this only works if the sheet is on a fixed-size dashboard, since floating sheets don't usually play nice with auto-sizing dashboards.
I am Creating a Cross-tab with Tableau Desktop 10.0.
I need to show each column in the cross-tab in different background color. How to do this tableau. I have read about a method using calculated columns, but i am looking for other options. Also is it possible differentiate each columns with a line?
Thanks for help
I'm not sure what you mean by calculated columns but the only way I know is to use a dummy Measure in the columns shelf and then place the actual measure you want on the Text pill. Set the marks to Bar and increase the size to full. Each Measure will have its own dummy Measure in the column shelf. Take a look at this example. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60455118/160919%20stack%20question.twbx
As for differentiating each column with a line, you can do this by going Format > Borders > Column and adjust the Column Divider.

I'm using Measure Values for combining two measures:
1)Count of Clients (As a percentage)
2)% Retention (Calculated field which uses another calculated field called Numerator Retention in it's formula over the total to calculate the %)
Measure Value Mark Labels successfully show the respective percentages for the two measures. Now I wanna show the respective count of clients or numbers behind these percentages but I'm unable to do so since I've already used Measure Value Mark Labels to do something similar.
When I try editing the Labels text, it edits it for all labels together and hence I'm getting all labels for all rows and not how I want it to show selectively as I described.
Example Solution: For Private Residence, I only want 125 to show with 60% which is the actual number behind the percentage. And I want only 119 to show with 95%
You can do this, but not using Measure Values. You should mirror what I have done here. I do not know your calculation for the Respective Retention, so use your calculation.
You need to move both of your measures to the Columns shelf and make them a Dual Axis:
After doing that, you will have access to the individual measures - so you can give labels independently:
Just make sure you place the measures that you want for each axis respectively.
I am trying to get all my lines to overlap on a single graph. How would I go about doing this? Here is what I managed to get so far:
And when I say overlap, I mean something similar to this:
Here is more information about my data:
Each of the attributes (e.g. 'Intro', 'Flair') have the following integers in the data: 1,2,3,4 with an associated pcttip (tip percentage) as a decimal number.
I have manually right clicked on each of the measures in the columns area and changed them to "dimension".
The dataset can be found here if you would like to try: https://www.dropbox.com/s/je72hbso2tzby60/Tableau_data_2.xlsx?dl=0
You can do this in Tableau fairly easily. You need to pivot some of your data.
Click on the data source in the top-left and select Edit Data Source
In the bottom pane, where your data is previewed, select/highlight each of the fields that you want measured (Intro, Flair, etc.)
Right-Click with those fields selected and click Pivot
When you return to your sheet, you will see a new dimension field and measure field for your pivot.
Add [Pivot field values] to the Columns section - make sure this is set to 'Dimension' and 'Continuous'
Add [Pivot field names] to the Color card
Pivot
Output
Drag 'Repeat' pill to the X-axis on 'Intro' then drag the other pills into 'Intro'

Is there a straightforward method for combining multiple columns of data into a single column so the data rows overlap? This is NFL data and I'd like to see the teams overlap instead of in there own separate columns. Thanks for any guidance.
When you place a discrete field on the Columns shelf, headers for the members of that discrete field are created. When you place that discrete field into the Marks Shelf instead (Color, Size, Detail, Tooltip...), you separate the marks in the data view according to the members of that discrete field. This is a way to show more data without changing the table structure.
You've placed [Offense] in the Columns shelf, and you can see that each member of [Offense] (ARI/ATL/BAL...) has its own header in the table. Try removing [Offense] from the Columns shelf and instead adding it to Color. You'll now have a view with a single column in which the SUM([Total Yards]) has been separated into a line per team, each a different color. If you want them all to be the same color, you can just place [Offense] into Detail to separate the marks without changing their appearance.
