I am trying to change "Days in a month" to "No.of days in a month".
Actually, in the original data the column name is Days in a month.
I don't want to change the original name, but that name need to be change in VIZ..

Please help me here.
Thanks in advance!
I have tried to use calculated field as 1.0
But its not giving the expected output.
I currently have a report with the ability to select a start and end date. I was curious if you could make have both preset and the option for a custom selection
Selection:
Current Week, or
Previous Week, or
Custom Date Range.
Thanks,
Take a look at cascading parameters.
The link above seems to focus more on getting your cascading parameter values from a query, but you probably don't want that for a date - as far as I am aware, setting Available Values for a date parameter limits you to a dropdown list of dates, instead of the calendar which is generally easier to use. It is still a good background on how cascading parameters work though.
To do this with expressions for the default start/end date, you would basically want the first parameter to be a choice between "Current Week", "Previous Week", and "Custom Date Range". You would display those labels to the user, but the values can be whatever you want - for my test I just used 1, 2, and 3.
Then, you would set up 2 more parameters, one for the start date and one for the end date. Make sure the data type is Date. You will want to set up default values for these based on the value of the first parameter. I would do this with an expression such as the expression below for the start date. You also may need to modify this a bit depending on how you define the week - is the "Current Week" just the previous 7 days, or is it the latest Monday through today, or something else, etc.
=Switch(
Parameters!FirstParam.Value = 1, DateAdd("d", -7, Today()),
Parameters!FirstParam.Value = 2, DateAdd("d", -14, Today())
)
In this case, you don't even need to account for the 3rd option, because if the user wants a custom date range then you do not want the start and end date to fill in with any default values. You would need a similar expression for the default end date as well.
Since you want the user to be able to enter a custom range as well if they were to select the third option, you do not want to fill in the Available Values for the start/end date parameters, as the user would then not be able to select any date (at least as far as I am aware - if there is a workaround to that, I would love to see it, as that would be something I would like to use myself).
A possible downside to this approach is that if the user begins by selecting Current Week and then changes their mind to Previous Week, the start/end dates will not change to the Previous Week. You can read more about why this happens here, but essentially: since the values that are already filled in after selecting Current Week are still valid (they are dates, which is the only criteria for those parameters since no available values are set up), they will not refresh after changing the selection. The fix for this is to define the Available Values, but as mentioned above, this will then stop the user from entering a custom date range.
I'm attempting to show the results of an experiment. I'm using a calculated field and a parameter to create the following view, splitting the view by pre and post dates.
The trouble is the "Average" reference line...
None of the reference lines are placed at the actual Average for that time period (or any time period, from what I can tell). I know this because when I highlight the full date range the reference line adjusts:
Here's how I've set up the Average:
here's the calculation for post-reset (pre-reset is the same). [ reset-date ] is a hard coded parameter (the date the intervention began).
date( if [Friday Date] >= [reset-date]
then [Friday Date]
end)
Any idea what's going on here?
I was helped on the Tableau forum itself:
https://community.tableau.com/message/673000#673000
Instead of creating two date axis, I added one dimension to show pre and post.
See post at the link above for a full description, images, and a reference file.
I have two fields,
CreatedDate
UpdatedDate
It takes from the system date and time.. My sql server is located at UK. So when i see in site it is showing wrong time.. how to change this in mvc?
My details page, i am showing like following,
<strong>Date Posted:</strong>
<%:Model.CreatedDate%>
Please give me the ideas?
I would store your dates using UTC and then use that as a baseline for converting to the appropriate timezone for your region. This makes it flexible since you have a constant reference point.
I am having trouble grouping certain results in a work in progress report that arranges by start date, I have grouped using fixed values before but because the dates keep moving I am unsure what to do.
The start date is WIP_Schedule.Start_Date
the groups I am trying to create are:
[Group1] Overdue = the current date has passed the start date.
[Group2] (Yet to be named) = the current date 2 week period prior to the start date
[Group3] To Do = the current date after the two week period prior to the start date.
I am after a works instruction on how to achieve this.
I know this isn't a lot of information, if you require any more please ask.
Thanks,
Daniel
This is a pretty straightforward requirement, so you should be able to figure it out by searching the web. However, I'll give you part of the answer and hopefully you can figure it out.
Start by creating a formula to figure out the status of the date.
If {WIP_Schedule.Start_Date} > current date then "Overdue"
Else......
Then you can group based on that formula. All you have to do is figure out the rest of the formula.
