combine two data sets in tableau so that I can show a forecast for the next 3 months - tableau-api

I am trying to take a take a bar chart and add in another bar chart for the next three months that will show how many people we expect to drop from our CRM. The original shows two other metrics. The image below is what I would like the outcome to be. As you can see it is just a screen shot of different bar charts. Would appreciate any advice on how to complete this.

I think that the best way to do it should be to make two worksheets (let's call then Sheet A and Sheet B).
In Sheet A you place the first bar char and in Sheet B the second bar char (the forecasting).
After that you can create a dashboard and place both of them horizontally alligned.
You probably have to syncronize the axis of the two worksheet, following (for example) this tutorial.

How can I add a second bar label to my Google Sheets stacked bar chart?

I'm currently working on replicating an Excel chart in Google Sheets and I can't figure out how to add the second criteria to the label of each bar without changing the cell data itself. The first picture is what it looks like now and the second is what I am trying to get it to look like.

Qlik Sense - Displaying data labels on Stacked bar chart

The data labels in stacked bar chart in Qlik Sense does not work properly.
When we turned it ON, instead of displaying labels for individual stack it only displays one data label at the top.
Please can any one suggest if it is possible to display labels for all the items in the Stacked bar?
It is not possible to do this. You can only display the total. This is due to readability issues.

Unable to change order of Stacked bar chart data

I'm using Crystal 11.5 on the desktop. I'm having a problem where the stacked chart data is not appearing as I want. It appears like below, but I would like:
1) Completed on bottom, then Open on top,
2) Completed should be blue color, Open orange.
I think once the data appears as I want, changing the color should be easy enough via manual manipulation.
I tried using a lot of different chart options and playing around with Specified Order as reversed (Open, Completed instead of Completed, Open). Nothing I've done has worked.
In order to have the stacked data appear as I want, I needed to first create a cross tab (pivot table). Then right click on the cross tab and select Insert Chart.

How to customize bullet charts in Tableau

We test people and then provide analysis for managers and HR teams. I have a chart that I created in Excel which I am struggling (as a novice) to recreate in Tableau.
I started with bullet charts but the problem I had with that is that the bands were relative to the target value and I couldn't see a way to link them to variables. Also the bands don't always go from red to green. There are some attributes where the test may be looking for balance rather than an extreme (e.g. perfectionism).
Instead I went the route of stacked bar charts to show a red,yellow, green type of analysis. I have managed to create a stacked bar chart in Tableau but I can't overlay a marker to show the individual's performance. This is how my data is currently:
When I try to overlay the Score on the stacked BandLimit I get this which is not what I'm after:
What am I doing wrong? I would love to know how I could fix this but also if there are other ways I could do this (bullet chart, etc.) and any tips you might have on better ways to display the information.
Thanks.
Here's one way to get the Score onto what you've already built.
I'm assuming you're looking to add the arrow that you had in the Excel bullet chart. We can do that with a second mark. I'll go ahead and include your steps so far, just to make sure everyone's on the same page:
Place Competency on the Rows shelf.
Place SUM(Band Limit) in the Columns shelf.
Place Band in Color.
Now we'll make a new mark to get that arrow onto the viz. Place Score in the Columns shelf, after SUM(Band Limit). Right click on the Score pill and make it a dimension, but keep it continuous. Lots of things will likely change automagically, but no worries, we'll get it back under control in a minute. One important thing to note is that there are now two marks shown in the Marks Card - one for SUM(Band Limit) and one for Score.
Right click the Score axis and hit Dual Axis. Then right click the Score Axis again (which is now at the top of the view) and hit Synchronize Axis. You should now have an axis at the top and bottom of the view, and they should be aligned with one another.
Go to the SUM(Band Limit) section in the Marks card. Make sure the only thing in Color is Band, then change the mark type to Bar. You should wind up with stacked bar charts again.
Go to the Score section in the Marks card. You'll probably want all of your arrows to be the same color, so take everything out of Color. Click Color and choose black (or whatever feels right to you).
In the Score section in the Marks card, change the chart type. Then choose Shape and select an arrow for the shape to replicate the Excel chart. You can also choose Gantt Bar to have a thin black line instead of an arrow.
Right click on axes and uncheck Show Header if you don't want them there. If you opt to remove both of them, make sure you include some way to see the values, maybe with a tooltip or by creating labels for one or both marks.

animating time series scatterplot - showing timeline

I animated a scatterplot of two variables over time using the pages tool in Tableau.
The x-axis is GDP per capita and y-axis is CO2 per capita.
I want to also show the timeline (years) along the bottom of the chart as the user moves through the pages over time. Is this possible in Tableau?
Thanks!
If you want to do something like the example below then just build a few sheets and apply the date to the pages shelf of each sheet. After that, add the sheets to a dashboard and make sure to show the page control for each sheet that you want to animate (click on the little triangle in the top right of the container on the dashboard).
