How to plot a speedometer style graph in tableau that shows the average response time for the month.
For example, for bed tracking data, the response time meas a person that takes time to respond to the bed clean. SO I have the data for the whole month and what I need to do is to create a speedometer style indicating the average response time.
I would recommend you use a Bullet chart instead as the 'speedo' chart is not ideal, as it can be misleading.
That said, if you are determined and this is your only graph then have a look at this site
https://public.tableau.com/profile/adam.e.mccann#!/vizhome/Data16JediChartPresentation_Desktop3/SessionIntro
and view the Adam E McCann presentation from the "Gauge 4 How to" slide onwards
There is maths involved in doing this chart, but it is straight forward and quite satisfying to make Tableau do something that you truly created.
Good Luck.

I'm trying to put together a story and I'm starting to create the first pages with graphics. The graphs are based on tables that are in S4/HANA and have the format as shown in the first image but with more fields, in each line there are weeks (repeated, although they do not appear like that in the photo) and that week will have a condition; "SI" or "no".
When creating a graph I can represent the amount (y-axis) against the condition and the week (x-axis) and it would look like this (2nd photo). In addition to this, I would like to add another bar per week that represents the TOTAL, the sum of condition = "SI" and condition = "NO". Is it possible to do this from SAP Analytics Cloud or do I have to rack my brain changing the lines of the source table adding a total there?
As a clarification, I do not need to add 2 different numerical fields or anything, I would simply like to add the SIand NO of the condition column, if on the y-axis I put volume that represents volume and if I put amount that represents amount, but I am looking for a third bar With the total, I don't know if I explained myself well.
Thank you very much in advance, if you help me solve this I would be very grateful, greetings

I have 3 measures - sales($), profit($) and discount (%). I want to show Sales and Profit as side by side chart over time and discount as a line chart (all 3 in one).
Is there any way to do this. On tableau community i found some useful tips but for that ill need to pivot the data. I want to avoid doing that.
Thanks a lot for your help!

As you have already pointed out, in order to have side by side barchart combined with a line chart is quite tricky and needs a transformation of data.
Anyway, if you can accept to have a barchart inside the other one (say profit "inside" sales) like the following, you can get it in few clicks using measure names and dual axis.
If needed, I've even find a really good tutorial by Andy Kriebel:
I have run into this more times then I like, and I think it will continuously haunt me. I am creating reports/dashboards that report monthly or yearly or weekly data. The dates come in with just the last day of the period. For example, now I am working 2019 monthly report that is a bar chart with a trend line. Took me about 15 minutes to make in excel. However, we are trying to move everything into Tableau for dashboards. Trend line is always grayed out when using discrete dates and sometimes when using continuous dates. The dates are in the format DD/MM/YYYY so I can convert them as continuous but that skews the spacing on the X-Axis. I have messed around to get it to work but it takes time. I am shocked that this very basic thing does not work when Excel has been able to do it for a very long time. Does anyone know of a good work around? I have tried calculated the trend line myself, but do not see how I can add in the y=mx+B line that is generated. I am debating creating a data set just for this, but that seems long and hard way for something that I would have expected out of the box. Below is some basic data, in Excel it takes about 1 minutes to create a line chart, click (+) add trend line and your done.
I was not able to deal with the skew of the X-Axis very well but playing with the date it started and setting the major tick marks to monthly got me close. Looking at the picture below you will see the tick marks are not in the center of the bars but close. As for the trend line, I added a Dual axis on the same data that was the sum of all shown fields with no division by the parts (this is a stack mark bar chart). Since this is a basic line chart with continuous dates, a trend line is a simple click. I then removed the Tick Markets and set the opacity to 0% making the line invisible. I did not change the trend line so now that is all you can see. Seems like a long and hard way to do it, but it works. (UPDATE) Better fix, NEVER USE EOM always use First of Month.
I've created a bar chart where I have values on axis Y and weeks on axis X. I want to sign every week on this chart. The problem is that I have weeks with no data and I still want to show this blank weeks. But I can't make it to start from first week,it automatically start from first not blank week.I tried to play with continuous and categorical type of data on axis X but it didn't help. I've already chosen option "show elements without data". But it still doesn't look like a want.
For best understanding I'll show you what I have and desired result.
Now it looks
this way and this way
But I want that it look
this way
Thank you for any useful tips.
I am planning to do a linechart, which should represent price changes based on a week, a month and so on. Therefore, I use the cocoapod "Charts" (github.com/danielgindi/Charts).
I always have the price changes for a certain point in time. I am wondering now how I could create the chart, that the x-line is showing the values according to the accurate time - and not the same distance for each value, even when two values are on the same day, and the next one 3 days after.
At the moment, it looks like this:
This should then help to insert a marker, where the user can move through the days/months, and see what the price was for each point in time.
Does anybody of you has an idea? I thought about adding values for each half hour to the dataset, with dummy values, to receive the same result, but this doesn't seem like a perfect solution..
Thanks a lot,
Alex
