I have a dataset in which date value shows In quarter and values show as 2008Q1, 2008Q2, 2008Q3 and Power BI detect this column as a text and every time I tried to change its type to date the whole column shows Error keyword.
I want to create a new measure where I can convert quarter to year and then take the quarter average value as my calculation.
2008Q1,2008Q2 , 2008Q3,2008Q4 TO 2008.
Thanks
You can just keep your current column as it is now. To achieve Year and Quarter from value for other purposes, Just create 2 new column Year and Quarter using values from your existing column. Follow these below steps in Power Query Editor-
Step-1: Duplicate your Quarter column.
Step-2: Split the new column with fixed length either with Left 4 character or Right 2 character. Now you have 2 new column first having Year and second one having New_Quarter value in the data set.
Now rename your 2 new column with related label and use where it is required.

I'm trying to create a cumulative quarterly count divided by week. I have the underlying table that looks like this:
Date
Id
01/01/2022
X
02/01/2022
Y
The result is this

There are some white spaces due to particular weeks where there are no data. I would like to fill these blank spaces with the value of the week before (as it should be on a cumulative count) and with zero if it's the first week of the quarter.
Is there a way to solve this problem without creating any support table or any "fake data" to avoid the cell to be blank?
I would like to ask how to create the sequence formula in order to repeate a date 10 times and do it for the whole year.
For example starting from 01/01/2022 to copy this date 10x then for 02/01/2022 to copy it 10x and so on. I started to use following formula for sequence:
=DATE(SEQUENCE(10,1,Year(B1),Month(B1),day(B1))
where B1 is 01/01/2022 and day and month are copied 10 times but the year is changing. Is there a way to do it to have the year same as well?
Thanks in advance.
You can take advantage of the fact that a date in excel is, conveniently, an integer number, and do it like that:
=INT((ROW(B1)-1)/10) + $B$1
That'll repeat the date entered in B1 10 times and than switch to next day, using the row number as a guide (so if you are not on the first row, you may need to add + X to the formula, where x is the row offset).
(Actual raw integer shown in D column for illustration, repeating every 3 rows instead of 10 to keep the screenshot smaller)
I am currently exploring Tableau and I wonder if it can do the following.
Let's say I have a table with two columns, A and B. Let's say A can attain discrete values from a small set (maybe 10 different values), while B has continuous values. I would like to plot a box plot where on the x-axis are the 10 possible values of A, and on the y-axis the box plots. Each box plot shall contain values from B for a given value of A.
In case I have not made myself clear enough, here is an example. Consider data containing average temperature on each day within one year, labeled by week days. That is, we have 365 pairs (A, B), where A is a value between 1 to 7 (day of week), and B is the temperature. I would like to have 7 box plots, each containing data for the particular day week. (To prove that on Mondays there is always bad weather :))
Changing the problem slightly to assume the columns are named Date and Temp, and that Date is a real date with a month, day and year. On the data pane (left margin), make sure the Date field is a discrete (blue) dimension with datatype date (not string).
Drag Temp to rows, make sure it is a continuous measure. I would choose the aggregation function AVG instead of Sum for temperatures.
Change the mark type from automatic to circle, and then drag Date to the detail shelf. Right click on the Date pill you just dropped and choose Exact Date.
Change to the Analysis table and drag in box plot from the Summary section. Format to taste.
To get one column per weekday, drag Date onto the columns shelf. Right click on the Date field on the columns shelf and choose Weekday from the context menu (submenu)

I have a report in which I have sales per month in the column and commodities in the row. The data show actual sales and future estimates for each month.
Need to calculate Year-To-Date (YTD) total for 2016 (from Jan to Previous month) and have it in a single column at the end of the actual values.
I already created a calculated field - YTD
IF
YEAR([DATE]) = YEAR(NOW())
AND
MONTH([DATE])< MONTH(NOW())
THEN
[VALUE/UNIT]
ELSE
0
END
But when I add to the view, it creates a another section for YTD with sum for each month till April.
Can someone please help me in how to achieve this in Tableau?
There are couple of ways to achieve this view in Tableau
1. To create calculated field for each Month and YTD and add measure names in Row & Measure values in Text
2. Make union of 2 queries - one that select all the correct values & second that have YTD calculation in month column. Then use pivot it
This relates to my How do I achieve a pivot report in Crystal Reports for Visual Studio? The data is the same, but they want a line chart as well.
So, my data is {datetime}, {car-id}. The X -axis of the chart must show the hour of {datetime}, the Y axis the number of cars that entered the park at that hour, and I must have seven data series, lines, one for each day of the week. So, e.g. the x/y point on the green line shows that on Wednesday, at hour x, y cars entered the car park.
Common sense tells me that I can kludge this by transforming the data source so that each day has its own column in a table, a table like this:
DateTime
WeekDay
CarCount
Yet the Crystal line chart doesn't seem to support more than one column, so there must be a different and better way of doing this. The weekday is part of {datetime} after all.
How can I achieve this chart? I am a rank amateur at charting, and Crystal's idiosyncrasies really aggravate my lack of skills and experience in this area.
It's not obvious how to get multiple series to show up properly.
First, create a formula that will extract the day of week from the datetime: dayofweek({datetime}) and then create another that will extract just the hour: hour({datetime}).
From there, insert a chart from scratch and make the following settings in the Chart Expert
Select "Line" under the Type tab
Under the Data tab, select "On change of" and select your {#HourOfDay} formula first. This will create each hour as a point on the X-axis.
In that same spot, also insert the {#DayofWeek} formula. This will create a new line
for each day of the week. This is, in my opinion, the non-obvious part.
Finally, to pick your Y-axis values,
select {car-id} where it says "Show value(s)". It should default to
the count summary of that field.
(Note: in the screenshot below, you would just replace {Customer.Customer_Name} with {car-id}
I had this issue for 5 years and finally solved it. I have a XY chart with multiple series.
Everything needs to be in a formula.
The graph should be in the report header section of a subreport. The sub report generates the X Y data like this:
Series X Y
Ser1 2020 1
Ser1 2021 2
Ser2 2020 0
Ser2 2021 1
For me I have as series "Energy" ie 6, 9, 12 etc.
Then I have a date/time and a measurement.
On change of (Energy formula)
Show Values
#1 DateTime (convert this to int ie 2000.9 for 9/2000) - dont summerize
#2 Measurement (number) - dont' summerize
Then you can do the color highlighter to capture your series (6 is red etc).
The legend won't work - can't figure out that yet.
