I am trying to add rows to sheet to create a tableau table. I cant seem to think how to get table headers in the Y axis
It should look something like this.
However I have got something like this without the row wise headers or panes separating each row.
Also I want to look better
Heres what I got.:
Please help
This is simple.. You have added all pills to columns. Move measures to rows and let them be continuous only. One tip for easy formatting like a cross tab.. double click second measure

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 not a tableau developer but i am just a user of tableau reports. My engineer is telling something is not possible so wanted to take experts suggestions and help to solve the problem.
My requirement is simple. We need to build a report in tableau with 4 columns and the last column should contain a color coded arrows (R,G,Y) representing the data trend (Up/Continuous/Down). The data will change frequently and the input source is excel sheet. My engineer is suggesting that, everytime we have to manually set those shapes in the 4th column, once the report is generated from the excel (basically from the first 3 columns only). I dont like to have a manual intervention everytime in tableau since i am not good at building/editing reports and its not a best practice to automate something.
In below picture the last column is the one i wanted to automatically generated based on excel sheets data.
My suggestion to him is to add the 4 column with data as below and in tableau bring the shapes accrodingly using some kind of a formula or so.
GC = Green continuous
GU = Green upwards trend
GD = Green downwards trend.. followed with different color codes (Green/Red/Yellow) as per data.
Is that possible in Tableau? If so any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kiran
It is definitely possible, as long as you have a formula that can produce the GC, GU, etc. values. Then it is simply a matter of mapping your custom values to relevant shapes (which is a simple manual one-off step in Tableau). If built-in shapes are not sufficient, you can add custom ones. Some types of shapes can also be colored dynamically, based on another formula.
Use Tableau Help or Google/Tableau Forum to find out how to do all of this.
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'

I would like to create a dashboard showing Level Funnel for the users with respect to their register date on the same chart.
My data is like the following:
And from that data, I would like to create the graph like below:
But in tableau I couldn't manage to combine those graphs below, which are separated day by day:
I tried to follow this steps, http://downloads.tableausoftware.com/quickstart/feature-guides/combo_charts.pdf however I couldn't find 'Customize Marks' button in the menu.
That would be great if you can help me on how to combine these graphs into one graph.
Thanks.
Drag the DAY(Date) field from the row shelf to the color shelf
One way to think about it: When you have the DAY(DATE) field on the row shelf, and you've configured it to present as a discrete field, you are telling Tableau to "make a row for each day". When you move that field to the color shelf, you are instead telling Tableau to make a color for each day. The same mental substitution works for discrete fields on most of the other shelves, like columns, shapes, pages -- i.e. make a page for each day.
I need it to look like a table so it looks similar to what the old program's report did. I finally figured out how to do columns, then I added lines between each field both horizontal and vertical. The first column formats with this correctly, but the second column only adds the line horizontally. See the screenshot:
Any help?
Personally, I prefer the new version. Less clutter. But if you want to add them, you can:
Put borders around your cells. This may cause some problems with overlap, but you can work around that by only putting borders around the Item and Price fields.
Use your line tool to draw 4 vertical lines in both the Detail and Report Header sections.
Its blind guess.. If you have copied the lines from first column there is possibility that they don't showup in second column.
Try to draw the lines again and check.
