My dataset is two fixed income indices feeding into Tableau via one Excel document. Within the spreadsheet is a column containing "index A" or "index B" depending on which index the line item relates to. I need a way of finding the companies that appear in both indices, is anyone able to shed any light? Thank you
Assuming the company name is consistent (you're probably using a ticker so this shouldn't be a prob) you can do this with a simple LOD calc. All of those companies that have more than one unique entry in the Index column are in both indices. Try this and adapt for your data source:
{FIXED [Company]:COUNTD([Index])}
You can use this to isolate companies with both indices:
{FIXED [Company]:COUNTD([Index])}>1
Put that on the filters and set to True. It should exclude all companies in only 1 index.

I am trying to filter a table visualization of all of my data by looking to see if a Study Number contains Activity A. If a Study Number contains Activity A then I want to filter for all rows containing those Study Numbers even if the Activity is not A. See mock data below. In my real data set I have ~55,000 rows.
I have created a calculated to return Study Numbers if Activity= A but I am not sure where to go from there. Thanks for any help.
If(UniqueConcatenate([Activity]) OVER ([Study Number])~="A","Y","N")
Will give you this resulting column that you can then filter on (or you can use the formula as a Data Limiting Expression:
I have volume data for specific customers. The customer names come from salesforce and the volume comes from another table. When I add each in tableau, i get a nice table that seems to be working.
We can see that there are 19 values ~500 My ultimate goal is to sum these based upon filters.
A way i discovered that i can do that is to use the syntax
{ FIXED [Account Id]: count([Volume]) }
But when i do that,
I get
When I change my function to count([volume]) i get a count of all joined rows ~250k
My question is how do i make this respect indivudal entries in the database and not all the joined values? If there was a way to do the sum for distinct timestamps in another field this would also work? Any other advice would be helpful from you tableau experts.
Thanks!
I think i got it. In the table of the database that i was trying to calculate there were 20 rows that needed to be calculated. When the data was joined in SF, it duplicated the rows. The trick here was to do the sum of the max for each primary key
SUM({ FIXED [Pk], [Name1] : MAX([Volume]) })
Either I am the first person to ever need to display percentages in Tableau or I do not know what to search for! I highly suspect it is the latter...
I believe what I am attempting to ask is how to make a calculated non-aggregated field by dividing by an aggregated number. Although I would prefer just to be able to display the percentages instead of a whole number.
This is how I would do it in Excel:
The data that already exists is Column A and B. In Tableau these would be non-aggregated. What I need to do in Tableau is to generate what is column C (also non-aggregated) because it does not exist in my data. In excel, all I did to get the aggregate number (total) of column B was:
sum(B1:B4)
And for the column C:
=B1/$B$5
But I can't seem to do this at all in Tableau. When I try to use the same syntax, I get an error message: "Cannot mix aggregate and non-aggregate arguments with this function."
Instead of having a calculated field, you can use a Quick Table Calculation on the column.
Right-click the pill of your data > Quick Table Calculation > Percent of Total. This will show the percentages instead. If you want to keep both, just duplicate column b first and then add the table calculation to the new column.
How can I create a DAX query that retrieves rows from a given range in that order. Let's say I want the rows from row 1000 to row 2000. There is no unique id in my database. Should I add one, or is it possible without it?
If you can't distinguish a filter to create the subset of rows you are targeting then I would use a unique ID. I have not come across anything in DAX that allows to select rows in your powerpivot data set. If there isn't anything unique about the data you are targeting then I imagine you would need a unique ID.
i.e. I normally have column values I can filter with to target or create the subset of data I want to use.
I hope I am wrong and there is a way and look forward to someone posting a way.
I have Tableau report where I am showing data by category in columns.
The table shows all columns when there is no filter on data. But when filter is applied, some of the categories do not have data, so table shrinks, hiding columns without data
Is there a way to always show columns regardless of data or not in that column?
Please see screenshots below.
Go to Analysis >Table layout> Show columns with no data or
Analysis>Table layout>Show rows with no data
The next step depends on whether your "disappearing" fields are dimensions or measures.
If you want to force the display of members for specific dimensions, then one (kind of complex) solution is to use an advanced Tableau feature called data blending to force the existence of dimension members, even if there are no related measure values. The trick is to make a simple data source, say a text file, that lists the members of each dimension. Use that source as the primary data source, and make the original data source the secondary source.
Go to Analysis >Table layout> Show columns with no data or Analysis>Table layout>Show rows with no data
Also You can right click on header and select show missing values if you are using line chart.
Solution 1: (When you’re working with Dates or Numeric bins)
Right click on the numerical or Date column to extrapolate the missing values. As you notice in the lower part of the screenshot, this will not work on Categorical data !
Solution 2: Categorical Data
As indicated in the accepted answer, Analysis > Table Layout > Show Empty Rows will get you the same result for Categorical (Text) Data
Solution 3: Calculated Columns
If for some reason, none of the 2 above point & click solutions work, you can create calculated columns to calculate the measure for each of the Categories with the below formula and then line them up on the Columns to achieve the same result
Profit (Category 1)
IF MyColumn = "Category 1" THEN
Profit
ELSE
NULL
END
Profit (Category 2)
IF MyColumn = "Category 2" THEN
Profit
ELSE
NULL
END
Not the most convenient solution when you have hundreds of unique values in your column, but nevertheless a workaround !
