I would like to do averaging for all the measure values in Tableau.
How can I do this in Tableau 2019?
The following answer from the Tableau forums should resolve your issue.
"I found if I select everything in Measures (from the data connection), then right click > Default Properties > Aggregation > Average it works when I use the Measures Values."

The individual change for one measure can be seen here visually.

I would like to sort this scatter plot, which is summarized with a Band that includes Minimum, Average, and Maximum.
I would like to sort it in 2 ways:
by Average
by Widest Range (ie difference between Minimum and Maximum values)
Tableau Public workbook
If you can't view this or I'm not allowed to post external resources on stackoverflow, then perhaps you can show me on this screenshot what I would click to get started on the following sort
Also, bonus question, is there a way to create a control for the user to toggle between the 2 sort methods in the same chart? Or do I have to duplicate the chart with a different sort type for each?
One note is that I only have Tableau Public version since I'm evaluating the product. Until I get a paid version, I can't open a workbook file unless you publish it to Tableau Public cloud. But rather than give me the workbook answer, I would just appreciate it if you gave me instructions to do this as this is more of a learning exercise.
Thanks!
Somewhat unfortunately, you'll have to replicate the min,avg,max by creating 3 calculated fields. Tableau cannot operate on the values placed on the view via reference lines.
These calculations might look something like these:
{Fixed [Cwe]: Min([Cvss Score])}
~
{Fixed [Cwe]: Avg([Cvss Score])}
~
{Fixed [Cwe]: Max([Cvss Score])}
In general, from there, you should pretty easily be able to apply them to the view and sort. Average will be easy. The difference between Min and Max will just need a subtracting calculated field to sort by. Once they're on the view, I'd put them as a dimension (column) to verify that the numbers look correct.
Take note that LOD calculations take place before filtering, so you'll want to put the Cvss filter you have there 'on context' by right clicking it and clicking 'add to context'
Here is how I would complete the sorts:
Starting with all the above calculations on 'Rows' and ensuring that they are 'Dimensions' (Blue).
After right clicking "Sort..." on [Sub-Category] on 'Rows'. Select which field to sort by.
From there, the calculated fields can be taken off the rows column. (They were only there in the first place to ensure that you could check that the sorts took place. They don't actually need to have been there in the first place.)
I have a line chart that tracks the fill rate performance of more than 50 suppliers (Year/Month).My dashboard includes a filter for the suppliers.I would like to compare the performance of a given supplier against the collective performance of every one else.
Basically, I created this measure to calculate the fill rate:
3DAYS_FILLRATE = SUM(TBL_METRICS[SHIP3DAYS])/sum(TBL_METRICS[TOTALORDERS])
How can I create another measure that retains the performance trend of all the suppliers when the filter is applied?
Image of graph in Power BI is below:
In the case that you are trying to filter a second visualisation containing the same measure and you are filtering using a slicer or other visualisation, you can click onto the visualisation you are filtering with, click on the 'Format' tab and click on 'Edit Interactions'. Then select none on the visualisation you wish to not filter. See Microsoft Documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-reports-visual-interactions
Otherwise, you may be able to try creating the following second measure which could satisfy your needs:
Measure 2 = Calculate(SUM(TBL_METRICS[SHIP3DAYS])/sum(TBL_METRICS[TOTALORDERS]), all(tbl_metrics))
I have a problem with calculating CPC in Tableau.
I have the cost and the number of the click but Tableau is not calculating the right CPC. the formula I used : [Cost]/[Click]
I attached two tables in this request. first shows the table which I calculated all KPIs in Zeppelin. the second the calculation in Tableau.
The whole data set has many null and 0 values, but it is the same data set used in zeppelin.
May I ask for help,how to solve this issue?
The result of CPC is not correct in Tableau.
Helena,
the issue is that Tableau is using aggregate functions when you add measures, and in this case of CPC calculation, it's not correct.
Tableau is doing [cost]/[click] division (on row-level) and then simply averages all those numbers (you are basically calculating an average of an already average number).
What you are after is a bit different and you have to fix the math to make sure all costs are aggregated first and then divided by sum of all clicks, so:
SUM([cost]) / SUM([clicks])
This will give you the correct and mathematically sound numbers.
Hope this helps.
SUM([cost]) / SUM([clicks]) will resolve the issue
I am new to Tableau, in my simple example below
It shows sales by year and quarter, and also a running total for each year. I know how to create running total. My question is how to create the labels (Sales Total, Running Total)?
The example is from here: It's a simple illustration without step by step guide.
http://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/pro/online/windows/en-us/help.htm#calculations_tablecalculations_definebasic_runningtotal.html%3FTocPath%3DAdvanced%2520Analysis%7CCalculations%7CTable%2520Calculations%7CDefining%2520Basic%2520Table%2520Calculations%7C_____6
I tried to add Measure Names to Rows and only got this. The label displays 'No Measure value'. But if I add Measure Values to Marks, it shows all measures with labels but not the running total.
The problem is that you have your measures on the text shelf, instead of measure values. So Measure Names shows "No Measure Value".
First step, try to reproduce the following:
Then you can provide an alias for each measure name (such as by right clicking on the long names and choosing "Edit Alias") to make the measure names more readable like:
I am new to tableau. I am just trying the simplest task: I want to draw a stock price time trend. I have data and I have price. But no matter how I tried, tableau seems no option for this raw data drawing-- you have to select a measure, whether sum or average or count but no option for just raw data. Can someone tell me how to do this? Thx!
Sum should be fine and as you add dimensions the granularity will be determined. For example, Take one of your stocks and add the date to columns and the symbol to rows. Most likely you want to see daily close price so right click and change to exact date. At this point the sum shouldn't matter because you should only have one price for each day in your record. If you have hourly price data, I would suggest using close price or change the date to the hour level.
In the Analysis menu uncheck aggregate measures, then no aggregations are performed on the measures and you see all the values.
