I'm using Tableau Desktop 10.2
I have multiple data sources that are joined together through left joins:
Data Setup
This causes an issue for me as I'd like to get the total of my pipeline (yellow box). Right now, because of the way I've joined everything, my pipeline is huge since all the ID's are being added:
ID - Value ($M)
1234 - $100M
5678 - $50M
5678 - $50M
1234 - $100M
1234 - $100M
9101 - $20M
Right now, my total value is $420M, when it should be $170M.
I'd like to keep the joins because my dashboards contain filters I'd like to affect worksheets.
Any idea on what I can do?
You could do a LOD calculation on ID and Sum the calculation if your data looks like the above example.
If you are not filtering with other parameters, your LOD calculation would be:
{Fixed [ID]: SUM(Value ($M))}
then do a SUM(LOD calcuation above)
Let's say you would like to filter by date, just simply add the parameter into the LOD calculation:
{Fixed [ID], [Date]: SUM(Value ($M))}
Then sum the LOD calculation as mentioned before.

i have this tableau workbook
basically this calculated day different between each user_id and each transaction for each user_id with this calculation
DATEDIFF('day',LOOKUP(MIN([Created At]),-1), MIN([Created At]))
that pull filters its so filter the conditions of users (We can ignore this)
and date_rante filters its for calculated day different between date range on parameter
with this calculated
lookup(min(([Created At])),0) >= [START_DATE] and
lookup(min(([Created At])),0) <= [END_DATE]
so from the frequency i want to find out the Max of different day, with this calculated
MAX({FIXED [User Id]:DATEDIFF('day',LOOKUP(MIN([Created At]),-1), MIN([Created At]))})
but it says
level of detail expressions cannot contain table calculations or the attr function
so i used this solution https://kb.tableau.com/articles/howto/finding-the-dimension-member-with-the-highest-measure-value
and from that solution, i applied with my codes into like this
MAX({FIXED [User Id]:DATEDIFF('day',INT(LOOKUP(MIN([Created At]),-1)), INT(MIN([Created At])))})
but it turns to error datediff being called with string,integer,integer
based on #Anil solution, i tried to create it, and idk why the results was like this

Presently, as far as my knowledge of tableau is, tableau doesn't allow to calculate LOD calcs or further aggregations on table calcs. To find the transactions where the user took most/max time (in days) in subsequent order- You can do this workaround..
Let's assume your datediff calc field is named as CF1. create another calc field lets say CF2 with following calculation
rank_unique([CF1])
EDIT:
Change table calcs on this field similar to CF1. putting a filter on this field will give you the dates with max(time diff) as shown in screenshot.
table calculation options on first (datediff field)
table calculation options on second field (rank_unique)
I have added third field on colors
(Please note no field used in filters just to highlight)
I am having trouble showing the correct totals in my tableau worksheet.
I have supervisors that are part of specific zones that need to complete a certain number of tests in different categories. For example, supervisor 15716 must complete 8 tests in category 1. I need to show the target, which is a number stored in the database and show the actual number of tests in that category that have been completed within a date range. I have it working, but Im not sure if I did it correctly because I can not show any totals.
System target - number stored in database
CountOfSheetID - calculated field
Percent Compliant - calculated field
Try this approach -
First define a calculated field called [Within Date Range?] as
[Date] >= [MyStartDate] AND [Date] <= [LastSelectedDayOfMonth]
and put that new field on the filter shelf, only including data where [Within Date Range?] is True. (You could also just filter the [Date] field if that is flexible enough for you)
The you don't need the CountofSheetId calculated field at all. If you want to know how many records have a non-null value for [SheetID] within your date range, you can simply drop [SheetID] on a shelf and choose to treat it as Measure with the aggregation function COUNT()
Then just build your visualization to show the counts you want (not percentages, the actual counts)
Finally, you can convert counts into Percentages by clicking on the pills for your Measures and choosing Percentage under Quick Table Calcs. You'll want to experiment with the "Compute Using" setting to tell Tableau how to compute your percentages -- i.e. define percentage of "what".
Percentages are implemented as table calcs in Tableau. Read the help to understand table calcs, especially the description of partitioning and addressing.
I have dummy HR data, and I want to color format via a map the difference in median salary based on groupings of birth year.
I have a quick calc field to separate them into birth year groups:
IF DATE([Date of Birth]) >=#1976# THEN "Group 1"
ELSE "Group 2"
END
Now I want to find the difference between the median salaries for those two groups, but I want to conditionally format them via a map to see where the median salary remained similar or differed a lot.
For instance: Median(Group 1([salary])-Median(Group 2([salary]) would give me a +/- difference and then I'd like that to be colored via a gradient and then outlines via state level detail.
This is probably so easy, but I can't think of how to do it via those groups. Would this be a LOD calc?
Define a calc to return the salary for rows in group 1, and null otherwise. Call it say, Old_Folks_Salary, defined something like if Year([Birth Date]) < 1976 then [Salary] end (If the condition in the if statement is not satisfied, and there is no else clause, the expression returns null.) Define a similar field for the youngsters.
The trick to know is that aggregation functions, like Median, silently ignore null values. It’s as if the null values don’t even exist. So ... You can now express your aggregate calculation as
Median([Old Folks Salary]) - Median([Young Folks Salary])
For extra credit, you can replace the hard coded threshold of 1976 with a parameter, and look for more politically acceptable field names.
I'm a novice Tableau user, trying to help my organization to analyze phone traffic. My data source of incoming phone calls is in an Excel spreadsheet, and is listed like this:
TRANSACTION ID DATETIME
151313:179805 1/2/2018 9:57
151340:108017 1/2/2018 17:27
151395:176211 1/3/2018 15:27
Our total calls per day range from 10 to 50.
I'd like to count days with an identical # of calls, and probably make a Histogram sorted by # of calls on the X-Axis, and # of days w/ that many calls on the Y-Axis.
I feel like this would be a simple Calculated Field, but for the life of me, I'm not getting what I'd do here.
Help! :)
One solution is to define an LOD calc, calls_per_day, as
{ FIXED DateTrunc('day', [DATETIME]) : COUNT("*") }
which in effect, prebuilds a little table in space showing the number of data rows for each day. That works if you have one data row in your input per transaction id.
If transaction ids are repeated, and instead you want the number of transactions for each day, you can use the following variation.
{ FIXED DateTrunc('day', [DATETIME]) : COUNTD([TRANSACTION ID]) }
COUNTD() can be expensive on large data sets, so its better to use an alternative when you have the option.
You can use LoD
{Fixed TRANSACTION ID : Count(Day(DATETIME))}
Try this and post the result
I have a report in Cognos 10.1.1 that is pulling Profit, Pounds, and Profit/Lbs. Each query has a field 'Measure Unit' that is labeled as 'Spread $', 'Spread Lbs' or 'Spread $/Lb'. It joins these three queries via a union and then loads them into a Crosstab list. The individual queries work correctly, and when dumped into a List Report are fine, but for some reason when in the crosstab report, the calculated profit/lbs column is always wrong. How can I get the calculated column to total correctly in the crosstab?
Three queries pull seperate Measure Units and measures for Profit, Lbs and Profit/Lbs.
The calculation for Profit.
The Calcuation for Profit/Lbs
Properties for the measure fields.
What the report looks like. Middle column should equal Spread $ / Spread Lbs, but does not when in crosstab.
Try to customize Solve Order for your calculations.
Default behavior is Total(Value1/Value2). You need to archive Total(Value1)/Total(Value2)
(Don't change your formulas, just set Solve Order for calculations)
