I would like to add on a map a calculated field, that show the progression between 2 values overtime. So I did this on a separated views, using the month, the value and using a double table calculation to get that. But now I want to add it to my map view and I can't get the Date property on it without breaking everything (I only can use the latitude and the longitude) which is a problem I encountered on another views aswell.
So is there a way to add a dimension to a view, but define it as unused (so it does not appear on the graph, or modify the data already there on any way), so I can use my calculated properties and display it as a tooltip for example. Or maybe another way to achieve this since I'm a little stucked right now :)

I am creating a capacity dashboard that has a granular aspect with multiple rows on the axis. The purpose is so that the user can see the specific view as the fields get more specific, such as Region to Market to Territory. My main problem is if there is a way for a user on Tableau Server to be able to edit the axis (maybe through a filter) so they could basically scale back the granularity a little bit. I know that in Tableau Desktop, you can just remove the dimensions, but I am hoping there is away to do that as a user in Server. Here are some pictures of my
workbook for examples:
You can see that when Territory is removed, it get less specific and shows all of Canada as a whole, grouped together. I am hoping there is a filter view or some way a user could change this dynamically. I have created a parameter with strings that matches the row dimensions that maybe when selected, will show up to that row, but I am not sure how to link that into the dashboard. Here is a picture of that:
Thank you for any help!
The best way to do this is to create a Parameter with your three Axis choices. It should look like this:
Next, create a calculated field that only references the Parameter like this:
Next, you will create three separate sheets. On each one, add the Axis Filter to the Filters Shelf. One each separate page, select one of the three values in your Parameter. (Tip - if the value doesn't show up you can either change the parameter or type it in manually under "Custom value list".)
What this does is create a filter whereby only ONE of the sheets will show up at any time. Meaning if you want to work on the Market sheet select the Market value in the Parameter.
Finally, to bring it all together, you will put these on a dashboard. Create a new Dashboard and add a Horizontal (or Vertical, it doesn't matter) Object (aka layout container) onto the dashboard. Put all three Sheets inside the layout container. You will see only one will be displayed but all three will have headers. On each sheet, click on the header and check "Hide Title" like this:
Finally, click on any downward triangle and show the parameter:
Now, by changing the parameter your user is selecting from three different sheets... effectively letting them change the Axis.

I've got a workbook I'm building using public data https://public.tableau.com/profile/alee4645#!/vizhome/JSAClaimantsWardtimeseries/Dashboard1
The basics are working as I want, you see the map, you click on one of the coloured areas and a time series chart appears below the map showing the change over time for that area.
I want to add a couple of comparisons to this data, for example I want the time series chart to show a line for the whole coloured area (Somerset) so people can see how one part of it compares to the overall average.
I have the figures as separate rows in the data but of course when the action filter is triggered they get filtered out along with everything else.
If I edit the action filter in the filter shelf for sheet 2, it has the condition tab and I was hoping I could add [ward code] = "E10000027" (the comparison data I want to use) to the formula box so it would also keep the relevant rows of data, but that stops the chart working altogether.
I could achieve it by getting people to choose an area from a parameter drop down but I'd rather let them click on the map so they don't need to know the name of the area they are interested in.
Can this be done?
I am trying to create dynamic buttons using the entries made in a field. I have a field called shows that contains show names. I want the button labels to reflect those names.
I have looked at using text fields as the labels and Set Field, but I cannot make a loop work to get the names.
Any help or direction is appreciated.
Thanks
It looks like you are trying to do something complicated where you do not need it.
I think, you have a field where you have a list of entries separated by carriage returns and you want every entry to appear as a label on a button.
In FileMaker 13 the default button label can not be calculated, so you will need to create buttons without labels and create and place the labels on top of them.
You will have to set labels to Insert/Merge.. and decide if you use calculated fields or global variables. You will need extra fields for calculating stored labels or you will need to populate your variables through the script.
To get the list item you can use GetValue() with a list (your field) and item number (starts at 1) as parameters.
As Michael mentioned, to make it dynamic you will have to use a portal, you are better off storing your labels as separate records.
I'm using Tableau Desktop 9.0 on OSX. I have data (loaded from a local CSV file) that looks like this:
code,org,items
0212000AA,142,10
0212000AA,143,15
0313000AA,142,90
0314000AA,143,85
I want a chart that shows the number of items beginning with 0212 as a percentage of all items, for each organisation. (I mean as a percentage of the organisation's items - for example, in the above, I would like to show 0.1 (10/(10+90)) for organisation 142.)
I have been able to get part way there, by adding org to Columns, and SUM(items) to Rows. Then by adding a Wildcard filter on code, for starts with 0212.
This shows me the number of items starting with 0212, by organisation.
But what I don't know how to do is show this divided by the value of all items for the organisation.
Is this possible in Tableau, or do I need to pre-calculate it before loading my data source?
One way is to define a calculated field called matches_code_prefix as:
left(code, 4) = "0212"
You can also define a parameter called, say, code_prefix to avoid hard coding the prefix string:
left(code, 4) = code_prefix
And then show the parameter control for code_prefix to allow the user to interact with it.
If you use this new field as a dimension to separate SUM(items) according to those that match the prefix and those that don't, you can then use a quick table calculation to get the percent of total.
For example, you can place org on the Rows shelf and matches_code_prefix on the Columns shelf, and SUM(items) on the Text shelf to make a table. Then under the analysis menu, turn on grand totals for both rows and columns to see the behavior. Next, right click on SUM(items) and choose Quick Table Calc->Percent of Total. Tableau will display the percents of total in the table.
If you want the percent of total defined differently than the default, then right click on the measure again and set Compute Using to a different value such as matches_code_prefix in your case. It's usually better to set compute using to a specific field.
If you only want to display the value for the matching case, select the column header you don't want to see and choose hide. You can also turn off the grand totals from the analysis menu when you are done.
When you are confident in the values in your table, you can turn it into a bar chart for example by moving matches_code_prefix to the detail shelf and the measure to the Columns shelf.

The above is the drag and drop approach. If you prefer to hard code everything in a single calculated field that is calculated on the database side, you could instead define a calculation such as:
zn(sum(if matches_code_prefix then items end)) / sum(items)
Then set the default number format for that field to display as a percentage
I'm developing an iPad application, in which i have to store some data in the database. So that, i prefer to use SQLite, here i have an doubt regarding the table structure. Let me explain, actually there is a view in which, the user can add the labor Qty, labor type and so on, at default i have displayed only one set of fields.
I have created table with the five fields ( Labor Qty, Labor Type.....) and it works fine. Now i need to setup a button "Add New" at the bottom, i apologize for the low resolution image, when the user click on the button, will generate another five fields below the previous. So how can i get the text fields values into the database table since i have created only for five fields. I tried and googled it but can't find the correct way. Any Help Appreciated. Thanks.
Well in that case what you can do is following.
put your content in UIScrollView
Have the textboxes in UIWebView and upon click on add new create new instance of that.
Put the X,Y co-ordinate in increasing manner let's say first time it is at 10,50 second time 40,50 third time 70,50 and so on,,
also increase X,Y co-ordinates of the button itself.
This way you can achieve above.
Using above logic you can get something like following.
