CodeEffects - filter data source based on input parameter from other data source - rule-engine

Is there any possibility to filter data source based on the selected item in another data source?
If it is possible please share some directions. Thanks.

This feature is planned to be released in the next major version of Code Effects rules engine.

how to quickly locate which sheets/dashboards contain a field?

I am creating a data dictionary and I am supposed to track the location of any used field in a workbook. For example (superstore sample data), I need to specify which sheets/dashboards have the [sub-category] field.
My dataset has hundreds of measures/dimensions/calc fields, so it's incredibly time exhaustive to click into every single sheet/dashboard just to see if a field exists in there, so is there a quicker way to do this?
One robust, but not free, approach is to use Tableau's Data Catalog which is part of the Tableau Server Data Management Add-On
Another option is to build your own cross reference - You could start with Chris Gerrard's ruby libraries described in the article http://tableaufriction.blogspot.com/2018/09/documenting-dashboards-and-their.html

Auto-Numeric Nugget Ignores Splits in SPSS Modeler

I'm trying to explore a continuous target variable in SPSS Modeler v. 18.2, using a split variable ("Cohort"). In other models that have a nominal target variable, I'm able to use the auto-classifier to generate models on each split---but in this model when I use the auto-numeric node it ignores the splits entirely. Here is the stream:
In the data file, I have "Cohort" set to Split:
In the node, in the Fields tab, I have added Cohort to the splits...
...and in the Model tab I have checked the build model for each split box:
The nugget doesn't include the splits---in the Summary tab it doesn't look like it's in the model at all:
My work-around is to use Select nodes for each split but that has disadvantages---thank you in advance for any help/corrections.
I am currently using IBM SPSS Modeler 18.0 but I am seeing the exact same behavior when using one of the demo data sets supplied with Modeler. I would consider this to be a defect and something that would need to be addressed by IBM's development team.
I suggest that you replicate the issue with one of the data sets from the "Demos" folder such as the "car_insurance_claims.sav" and then open a support ticket with the IBM SPSS technical support to have this resolved.

Tableau 9.3: using a multi-option set as a filter across multiple data sources

First Post! am kinda feeling the pressure :)
I've created a multiple option filter for my dashboard using a set (with include all members). which is great for my sheets which use that datasource as primary, but when it's the secondary source I've hit a brick wall - I cannot see (or find any reference in searches) how to use the filter. Any calculated dimensions I've seen reference In/Out. Is there a way round this or something I'm missing?
thanks.
You can't do it when it's based on the secondary source in a data-blending scenario. Currently Tableau only allows for it to be applied to the primary. We are hoping this changes in version 10.0.

Getting updated data from table

I have recently started working with UI5. In my current task, I have displayed data in table using JSONModel and by using TextField in template I am allowing user to update the data.
I have to get the updated complete table contents back in form of JSON so that I can update it back in database.
I have tried Table.getContextByIndex() and getProperty, however I am not getting updated data. Please let me know how this can be done.
For this purpose SAPUI5 provides two-way data binding. If a value is changed in the view, it is reflected in the corresponding model. Two-way data binding is the default binding mode. You can use the methods from model to get the data.
I guess I found the problem. As per below link.
Formatter functions allow one-way conversion only. This may be the reason why I am unable to see changes in model. .

Visio 2013: How to trigger a change in databinding of all shapes

I have a nice process overview for our ordering process in Visio. I have an external data source (SQL Server), which works fine. Every record in my data source represents one ordering process. Currently all my shapes of the process are linked to the first record of the data source.
Now I want to add a dynamic behavior. What I want to achieve is this:
A user provides the order reference in a textbox (order reference is a column in the data source)
Afterwards the user clicks a button
After the button click, the process is updated and all shapes are now linked to the external data source record, that matches the provided order reference
So in short: the user should be able to select which process that needs to be visualized.
I assume that this is common functionality, but I don't see how I can deal with this requirement. I've searched already some days on this issue, but without any success.
Can you help me with this issue?
Thanks a lot!
Problem solved :-)
Some old school VBA was required. Using the DataRecordSet object did the trick. It contains a method GetDataRowIDs that you can use to query the external dataset. Once you have the record to visualize, it's just a matter of dynamically updating the shapes with the correct record. Use macro recording to see how to do this.
