I want to know that how to make a crystal report such that its details section should display values of details in multiple/parallel fashion depending upon its column value.
Suppose that my data-set for report is as follows,
I want to group by my report on Id and want to display their Value in detail section so that if value is positive then it should display in left side and if it is negative then it should display in right side. But these two sides should be "Parallel" in display like this
Currently if I suppress a field on some condition then it remains blank or when I do "Format with Multiple Columns" then also the required result is not possible. Because In multiple columns option, it is not necessary that my positive's & negatives columns are equal in count, and there is chance to display positive values in negative side.
Since there is no logical connection to enforce what values should be on the same row, you probably need to implement this as 2 subreports placed side by side. One to show negative values and one to show positive values.
The subreports would be placed in the Group Footer for ID and would be linked on ID.

I have a form data wherein tableau I am using the below value to find out the choices for a multiple value question. The question is Could you please indicate one or two areas where we fell short.
the value can be explosives, vehicles, cement etc
I have individually accounted for each of the choices in the below calculated field:
int(contains(lower([Could you please indicate one / two of the following areas where we fell short of meeting your expectations?]),'factory'))
Similarly I have found out for other values:
The calculated fields are hasvehicle, hasfactory etc
But the problem is how can I visualize the same in the form of bars?
All I am able to do is this:
How can I visualise the same in the form of bars side by side?
When you have one measure on Rows, drag the second measure and drop it in the axis.
It will result with Measure Names on the Columns shelf and Measure Values on the rows shelf.
I have created 9 calculated fields that return the desired results. Now I want to create a single dimension (or measure if more appropriate) that combines the fields into one by appending the data, not creating a combined string field. I know I can do this in Excel very easily, but am at a loss in Tableau. Please see screen shots for more information.
Pic 1- This is the code for each calculated field (only the number of minutes are changed). > 75 also has an if statement attached.
Pic 2 - This is a combined field of all the data I want in one column. This is validating that my calculation fields are returning the desired result.
The end goal is to create a single bar chart based on the combined data. Thanks for any assistance.
I may be wrong, but get the feeling what you want to achieve can be done by dragging the "Measure Values" into your visualization, and then the "Measure Names" into color, or whatever else. You can filter on "Measure Names" to include only those measures you created, and they will be represented as one pill, but will include all of the values and retain them as individual measures.
Simple pivot table:
In this case, I'm pulling back 5 fields from the database:
Category
Year
Quarter
Numerator
Divisor
2 unfortunate facts. First, the year/quarters drift to provide a rolling 8-quarter view. Consequently, there will usually be 1 full year and 2 partials with their respective quarters. Second, the measures to be displayed are ratios of numerator to divisor. Naturally, Crystal is assuming that I want to divide everything and then total it, which is not correct.
How do you get the pivot table totals to calculate correctly as SUM({Numerator})/SUM({Denominator})? Since there are multiple levels in play, the Sum({Numerator}, {Attribute})/Sum({Denominator}, {Attribute}) doesn't seem to work or I'm missing an extra element to it.
This crosstab is intended to replace a report that individually calculated every cell, and is not viable for long-term maintenance. If the totals can't be corrected, we'll have to revert back to that format.
Once you create a cross tab... you can insert saperate column or row inside the existing column using the option embeeded summary
Right click---> Embeeded Summary ---> insert embeeded summary
This will insert a row as Edit This Formula.
Now on the newly created cell
Right click---> Embeeded Summary ---> Edit Calculation formula
This will open a window there write your division formula.
Can I cause Tableau to require a certain number of underlying data points before plotting a point on the graph?
For example, here's a graph showing average moods over the course of the day on Tuesdays:
There's nothing uniquely awful about midnight on Tuesdays, it's just that there's only one data point for that particular time, and it's an outlier. Is it possible to have the graph show midnight as missing unless there are more than (for example) three different records from midnight being averaged together?
You could define an aggregate calculated field, called say avg_mood as:
if count(Mood) >= 3 then avg(Mood) end
Since the aggregation is hard coded into the calculation, Tableau will display AGG(avg_mood) for the field on any shelves you use it on, rather than letting you toggle the aggregation outside the formula as it will for other measures.
Note, there is no else branch, so the calculation will evaluate to null if there are less than three non-null Moods in a partition of data rows (based on the dimensions)
You can control how null values are displayed in a line chart. On the format pane, select the field in question from the pull down menu by the word Fields at the top right of the format pane, then select the Pane tab, then at the bottom of the format pane, adjust the Mark settings in the Special value section.
I need to create a report where each page contains four columns. I initialy had them as subreports but I guess they dont need to be.
How do I make it so each entry in a supplied dataset is represented as a column? Say if I had a dataset with 6 rows, the report would span two pages with four columns on the first and two on the second.
In other horizontal reports I had one dataset row represented as a row in the detail section of the report. But now I need four dataset set rows for each detail section, as the detail section contains four columns.
Guess what I really am looking for is a vertical detail section, sort of, while retaining the rest of the report horizontal.
I suggest using a Crosstab - these are the Crystal equivalent of pivot tables in Excel, or matrixes in SSRS.
