I have been trying my hands on something in Tableau and finding it hard to implement. I have attached my sample workbook and the data source I am using from excel. The second tab in Excel shows the final dashboards I want to see as the end result; the first of which I have accomplished in Tableau using the desktop version.
There are 5 kinds of products for which the quality runs happen at different times. My goal is to return the 'Result' of the product based on the latest available 'Quality Run Time' which is 29th March 2018. I got to this part using two calculated fields below:
{FIXED [Product] : MAX([Quality Run Time])} as 'Max_Date'
IF [Quality Run Time] = [Max_Date] THEN [Result] END as 'Max_Result'
The result of this is in the workbook. The problem is I want a dynamic 'Reporting Period' filter for the user to be able to choose from available dates in the 'Quality Run Time.' For example if I wanted to run a report for 27th March 2018, based on the logic I should see the dashboard below (ex from Tab 2 in Excel). I am guessing my calculated fields need to be dynamic somehow and I have tried many different options but it hasn't worked yet.
Please pickup data source and workbook from here
Your logic doesn't work as expected.
You need to create a parameter with datatype DATE and then use that in filter.
I have changed the report and attached in the same link.
I have changed in Tableau version 10.5

Updated with v10.4 in same link

I want to be able to generate a stacked bar chart based on the results of a query, for example the number of open bugs and open features. I would like to see the resulting number of open bugs vs features from that query over a time period, for example the last 30 days. Specifically the number of bugs vs features that were open on that particular day, regardless of their current status. Is there a way to do this using an existing out of the box widget? I believe it should be possible to figure out this information using the history. Alternatively, is it possible to simply store the totals from the query somewhere in devops and then chart it? Or would I need to write a script to export the query results via the api and then use something like the power bi widget to chart it?
Sure, you can set up a chart of the query about the bugs and features opened in the last 30 days.
To meet this demand, you can do like as the steps below:
Set up a query with the following filter clauses. Save this query to the Shared Queries folder.
Work Item Type In Bug,Feature
State = [Any]
Created Date >= #StartOfDay('-30d')
On the Charts tab of the new query, create a new chart for the query like as below.
After saving the chart, add this chart to a specified dashboard in the project.
After above steps, navigate to the specified dashboard in the project, you can see the chart on the dashboard.
[UPDATE]
According to your latest reply, you want to get the Bug and Feature that were open state in the last 30 days. For these work items, we can think they satisfy one of the following conditions:
The work items were closed in the last 30 days, no matter what date they were created.
The work items are still open state currently. They do not have the closed date yet.
So, set up the query like as below should be able to match these work items.
Work Item Type In Bug,Feature
And State = [Any]
And Closed Date >= #StartOfDay('-30d')
Or Closed Date =
Group the last two clauses.
Then create the chart for the query.
Maybe the stacked chart would go some way to answering your problem.

That produces charts with date as the x axis which, I think, is what you're looking for.

I am currently working on a dashboard in tableau, which shows the count of New-User-Signups and Interactions side-by-side given different date windows. The first New-User-Signup happened before the first Interaction, and the last Interaction happened after the last User Signup.
In order to choose a date window, I linked the date fields in both data sources, and made a date filter, which I applied to all worksheets using related data sources.
However, depending on which "date" field I choose, (from the User Signup table or the Interaction table), the "All Dates" option of the date filter only goes from start to end of that data source's date range.
No matter what I try, I exclude some entries in either one graph or the other. How can I make the "All Dates" filter go from the minimum first date between both data sources, to the maximum last date between the two data sources?
I run into this issue a lot with the data that I use. The problem is that the filter will only be able to contain dates that are in the dataset it is created off of, even if you link the data sources. When I run into this issue, I use parameters instead.
You can find instructions here:

I have a dashboard I am developing in 2018.2.3 Desktop that will eventually get published to our internal Tableau Web Portal. I am writing a "Help" tab that has some documentation, directions, etc. for users to view in case they are curious what report is for, how to use it, definitions, etc..
One piece that I want to include at the header of this are three dates:
Report Created
Report Data Refresh
Report Publish Date
The first two are simple, the "Report Created" is just text, since I have no idea how to get the date the report was actually started. Text is fine for this. The Data Refresh is simple as using the, "". That works perfectly.
My only issue is I'd like to include the most recent publish date / revision. Now, I see this in the Tableau Web as meta data on the dashboard, but I'd like it to be part of this "Help" page. Is there a way to do this with some sort of dimension or variable? Thanks in advance.
If you are on Server and not Online, you can take a look at getting this data from the WORKGROUP database that Tableau Server runs from. Use this guide from Tableau to get that setup.
Then you will want to look at the workbook, sites and workbook_versions tables. Here is a sample query that could help.
select s.name site, w.name workbook, wv.version_number, wv.published_at, w.updated_at
from workbooks w
left join sites s on w.site_id = s.id
left join workbook_versions wv on w.id = wv.workbook_id
where upper(w.name) like '%<WORKBOOK>%'
group by 1,2,3,4,5
having w.updated_at = max(w.updated_at)
published_at is a timestamp of the initial publish.
updated_at is the last date it was updated.
version_number is a count of how many times the workbook has been published to on that site.
Here is a data dictionary for all the other available tables.
You can pull this query as a new data source and build the text that you want to display.
I am using Power BI in my current project for making charts. My data source is Azure SQL database.
I would like a table chart to display today and yesterday data only, for which i used advanced filtering by setting the filter to today and yesterday dates. However, I want to be able to open my report tomorrow and see charts use data from tomorrow and today respectively.
With advanced filtering the charts appear static, not dynamic.
It would be good if someone could explain how to write queries in Power BI on my tables.
You could either
1) modify your sql query to only return today and yesterday data
or
2) add a calculated boolean column, something along the lines of
"IsCurrent = IF(AND(DATEVALUE(Table1[Date])<=TODAY() , 1.0*(DATEVALUE(Table1[Date])-TODAY())<=2),True,False)"
Then filter by IsCurrent.
Using the SDK you can apply filter(s) dynamically to the report. This allows you to simulate the user filtering the report data to the current day and yesterday.
Your client app would compute the correct filter data values and apply it to the report. Using something like report.setFilters(filters)

I'm using sql server 2008 r2 and i'm new to building reports with ssrs. I have the reports built, but i'm trying to make it so when the end user, goes to the report on the site, they are able to pick a start and end date. So the data gets filtered by those, to look at it each quarter.
I've been looking through the interwebs for a few hours and it looks like people are able to do this, but i haven't seen anything on how yet.
Also i see there is a date picker thats greyed out, but I've read that it can only be used in web projects, is that what I'm looking for?
I don't have 2008 but in 2012 you would simply define 2 parameters as date/time and amend your dataset to include them. For example
SELECT SalesOrderID, OrderDate, Status, TotalDue
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
where orderdate between #lodate and #hidate
The datasource in this case is advicentureworks2012.
SSRS automatically adds the parameters to the report and includes a date picker.
