I am trying to retrieve arrival rates from a excel spreadsheet in my model but I don't have the option to select the specific row and column i want. How can I ensure that a specific cell is chosen? (For example i want the value 5 corresponding to "limeConveyor" row and "red" column.
This is the sample spreadsheet
This is the properties window
Thank you in advance for your help! :)
Edit 1:
I am currently unable to select "red" from the
dropdown list of value column. Is my program bugged or something?
Maybe to clarify Felipe's reply: I suspect your dbase table is not setup correctly and doesn't match your xls screenshot.
First, load your spreadsheet into an AnyLogic dbase table using the wizard. It should then look like this (note the column properties: the column type is important):
Now in your source, you can easily load the required column-row combination and the valuer-dropdown allows you to select "red" if you want:
You can find the example model that I used for the screens here, hope this helps.

I have a problem with Tableau.
I have a Dataset with some rows and some columns. I want to write a IFELSE structure where
The IF condition is that the Value of special field(fixed by a row and a column) is equal to the header of a column (it is every time equal to one name(header) of the different columns).
So to summarize: one value is every time equal to the name of a column and to find the column shall be the if-structure
Does someone know if there is a function to call the name (header) of a column? I didn't find it
Here is an small example, in which the Calculated_function choose the right price according to the Barcode. Everything in the first raw, is the header_name of the column below. enter image description here
Best regards

You can work like this.
I created a sample dataset as given by you
Step-1: Connected With data in tableau. Clicked all columns having price (4 here), pivoted them so that they look like this..
Step_2: Create calculated_field like this
if [Barcode] = [Barcode_c]
then [Price] END
Step3: Filtered out null values from calculatedField and got a view like this which can be tweaked as per liking.
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:
The Data I have looked like the Image below:
I want to create a line Graph,
The x-axis will have the Months (January to June), Y-Axis will have the Tot_QtY.
Considering that the date information is not in a single column but is spread out to multiple columns, How do I make a line chart.
Output I am getting is shown below:
The Output I need would look like this:
your input data is not correct, you need to model it so you get one column with rows of data. Click Edit Queries, this opens query editor.
Click tab Transform, select your columns and click unpivot.
My expectation is that you still need to work a bit more on your data because how the system knows from a column: MayDATE. that you talk about May. The best base data you can have is a column date and a colum value with data.
I'm using 2 data sources connected by 'product' field: one source contains category information, other - net sales data. Result is shown attached:
Example is shown in Excel but it's the same in Tableau.
The problem is that I don't need Product column and I just want to see a pivot table like in attached picture.
Is it possible in Tableau?
Recreate the subcategory so you can join on that. On your data source that has both, place product on rows then place subcategory. Copy that crosstab to excel. Use this WHEN THEN Builder found here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60455118/WHEN%20THEN%20builder.xlsx to quickly make the components of a CASE statement formula. Then join the data sources on subcategory. .
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 !
