Is it possible to add percentages to the chart legend, or is it the only way to put percentages to the chart, by adding the "Percentile Value Data"?
Thanks for your help in advance.
AFAIK the percentile value is usually something different, it only makes sense if the categories are based on intervals, e.g. given 7 billion living humans and measuring their age, the top 0.1 percentile are the 7_000_000_000 * 0.1/100 = 7_000_000 oldest living humans.
So, percentile values make sense for things you can measure, like age, income, length - in other words, numbers, or at least things which can be ordered.
You wouldn't use a pie chart then.
Percentile values don't make sense for things that cannot be measured like car labels.

M Williams writes there (I just repeat this here):
In the chart editor, you can go to the "format data" tab, then to the value series section, click on the "labels" button at the bottom, delete the "value data" option from the values window, then from the dropdown below the window, choose the percentage option and add it. This will show your pie chart labels in percentage.

I am attempting to create a 100% stacked bar chart in Tableau where the total stacked measure is always equal to 100% on the axis in order to make a productivity dashboard. I want all filter options to look like the first picture attached below where the total stretches and stops at 100%. However, some cases break this rule, such as going over 100% or when the "All" option is selected and stretches it 700%.
I tried fixing the axis max at 100% and it works perfectly for all the individual employees but since the "All" selection goes up to 700%, it just shows it all the way full at 100%. Is there anyway to make my total measure, in this case "Goal", always set to 100% no matter what the number is? This is my current formula for my total measure of "Goal" {Fixed [Contractor], Date: SUM([Goal])} / {Fixed [Contractor], [Date]: SUM([Goal])}
Thank you for any help!
Employee 1 with normal productivity where the axis is staying at 100%.
Employee 2 going over 100% where the axis then stretches past 100%.
All employees added up where it stretches the axis to over 700%.
This is most likely a problem with the "Compute Using" attributes for the table calculation. Since table calculations are secondary calculations on top of your existing measures you have the flexibility for how they are calculated.
Here is how to adjust this. Click on your measure and select "Edit Table Calculation..."
To get the same result as you I will want the table calculation to calculate on "Table (across)" which will look at the dimension (in my picture, Category) instead of by Category AND Month. The little numbers in brackets and the yellow highlights are especially helpful in showing you how the calculations are being interpreted.
See the default "Table (down)" and the desired "Table (across)" calculations in the screenshot below. You will likely want the same but it might depend on your exact Viz setup.
I am using Tableau to create a productivity progress bar of actual work done, versus the goal for that day. I have gone through numerous resources, but none seem to apply to only using 2 measures, basically putting the actual data measure turned into a percent within the goal measure. I have the chart working by using a calculated field of Missed Goal ([Goal]-[Actual]) but I am wanting into to look like a 100% stacked chart. Here is a picture of what I have, I just can't seem to get the last step expanding the bars horizontally to be a %100 chart:
Currently looks like:

This is a good candidate for a few LOD Calculated Fields.
I will give an example based on the SuperStore dataset where [Profit] is a percentage of [Sales]. This can be extrapolated to your use case.
Because you have two dimensions on the view, both will be needed to be accounted for in the LOD calculations below:
//LOD Sales
{Fixed [Segment], Year([Ship Date]): SUM([Sales])} / {Fixed [Segment], Year([Ship Date]): SUM([Sales])}
We will always want [LOD Sales] to equal 1 for bar-chart display purposes.
//LOD Profit
{fixed [Segment], Year([Ship Date]): SUM([Profit])} / {Fixed [Segment], Year([Ship Date]): SUM([Sales])}
This will create the percentage of [Profit] to [Sales].
From there, you'll want to turn off Stack Marks so the bars overlap eachother:
Analysis Menu > Stack Marks > Off
And probably change the axis display to a percentage:
Right click [Measure Values] > Default Properties > Number Format > Percentage
For simplicity, your existing filters should be placed 'On Context' as to not interfere with the LODs. (Please read above linked article for reasoning and alternatives.)
Right click on Filtered Field > Add to Context
The end result should look like this:
I asked this question (and this question) recently, and even though both have solutions, I am left with a new dilemma because each solution only works on an independent level (i.e. one solution won't work if the other solution is in place).
The problem is this: In Tableau, I discovered that by opting to display the data as a percentage of the total row value Analysis > Percentage of > Row, it resulted in the count value also being displayed as a number between 0 and 1 (i.e. percentage format, because of the aforementioned percentage-only setting).
Is there a way to achieve a 100.00% stacked bar which shows both percentage AND count, and which also isn't formatted to display all data as a percentage of the row total?
The screenshot shows what happens when both solutions are in place. Original screenshots are available within the body of each of the previous questions.
Note: I feel that the right way to go about it might be to normalise my data (bringing all values to a scale between 0 and 1), but being new to Tableau, I am not sure how this is achieved. If this is correct, I would appreciate a walkthrough.
Right click on the second SUM({Number of Records]) pill on the Label shelf, and clear the table calc. Edit your label if needed

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 completely new to Cognos, so sorry if I don't state some necessary information. I can't go into specifics about my chart, but here is the background:
I have a SQL code running into my Query
My chart and list use the same Query and have the exact same fields
My chart is a basic line graph
When I change my aggregate function to total for my y-axis, then I can see the data points
I do not want to use an aggregate function (I need to see all the points for my x and y-axis)
My x-axis is only one object, but it has multiple y-axis values within a year (which is my series). Ex:product-cost-year list,
where my product is the x-axis, cost is the y-axis, and series is year.
How can I get my chart to appear with all my data points? Eventually, I would like to add an upper and lower confidence interval to this chart.
One way to solve this issue is to create another column that simply counts the number of products (1,2,3,...9). We will call this column count. Keep all your fields the same (product for x-axis, cost for y-axis, and year for series). You will want to add count underneath product on the x-axis. You should see your mouse pointer turn to a horizontal line and it will place it under and to the right of product. Make sure not to place it just to the right of product.
