I have created one data set for Bus station, Incident type & no incident.
I want to generate a report in a tableau which represent the total no incident occurred at a particular station.
How can I get this result in Tableau?
First of all, I would recommend that you go through basic tableau learning which is available for free on https://www.tableau.com/learn/training/
If you do that, what I am about to say next will make a lot more sense.
Make sure incident # is discrete, now right-click drag the incident # to rows or columns section and selection count distinct. You can segment it by bus station or incident type depending on what you want to do.
The only scenario this solution would work seemlessly, is when incident # is a unique variable.

I would be very grateful for any assistance on solving the below.
I have a table in Microsoft Power BI Desktop containing 2 types of columns: 1 column containing unique employee IDs (column labeled "Employee ID"), and several other columns marking the date when (if ever) an individual completed a specific task (columns labeled "Task 1," "Task 2," "Task 3," etc.). If an employee completes a given task, s/he receives a bonus.
Using Power BI Desktop, what is the best way to accomplish the following objectives:
(1) Assign a numerical value to the completion of each of these tasks/columns (i.e., the bonus), such that future business users (read: non-developers) can adjust the value/bonus as it changes year to year.
(2) Allow business years to manually enter (a) an employee ID and (b) a fiscal year (e.g., 2021), with the result that Power BI determines whether that employee completed any of the tasks within that fiscal year, and returns the sum total of the values assigned above for all those tasks/columns.
Thank you very much for your assistance! = )
For your second objective:
The easiest way is to prepare a report (visualizations - tables / charts) and add appropriate filters / slicers. The user will then be able to select the year and the employee.
For the first: it depends on what you really mean by assigning a numerical value.
You can prepare a table containing the bonus value for a given task/year. And then a measure referring to it. (e.g. LOOKUPVALUE)
Does anyone know if I can add two rows together so that I end up with just one row in Tableau (see screenshot)? So, if both rows are city Aachen and one row has a value for cost but not for purchasing power and the other row has a value for purchasing power but not cost, I would want just one row with both values. I am not interested in the columns "Table Name" and "Document Index(...". Thankful for any help!
Manipulating data like that in Tableau is usually no-go. Nevertheless, you can try Tableau prep and you should be able to do what you need here. Or maybe a different tool (even excel).
With that said, even though you have the info in two rows, the default approach for Tableau is always to aggregate data, so even if you have many rows with similar cases, once you take it to a viz using City (for example) as a dimension, this issue shouldn't really matter.
I am using SP lists to maintain users PTO and a Master list to forecast utilization hours based on their goals as follows. I am on SharePoint 2013, what calculated formulas can I use to get the Forecast hours in the Master list? Thanks much!
Included are sample PTO & Master List
MasterList
PTOList
I’m afraid that we can not achieve this with calculated column. We can not get look up value in calculated column formula. It is even more impossible for us to get the sum of all hours based on time and a specific person.
I recommend you to create an event receiver on PTO_List(item added) to achieve this.
I am new to Tableau. I am not sure if I can use Tableau to create the following type of interactive dashboard.
Say I have two almost irrelevant data sources. The first one contains daily revenue for some department stores.
Store Name Date Revenue
-----------------------------
Macy 6/29/16 50,000
Century 21 6/29/16 46,000
Macy 6/28/16 45,000
Century 21 6/28/16 48,000
...
I want to use line chart to study the Revenue. So I would use Date as the horizontal axis, and Revenue as the measure, while using Store Name as the color dimension. As a result, it will render several color lines to capture the revenue in terms of date.
For my other data source, it contains similar things. But instead of doing department stores, it contains information about fast food chain restaurants.
Restaurant Date Revenue
----------------------------
KFC 5/1/16 50,000
McDonald 5/1/16 46,000
KFC 5/2/16 45,000
McDonald 5/2/16 48,000
...
I use line chart to study the revenue again.
Now with the dashboard, is there any way I can have a control with menu Fast Food and Department Store, so that if the user clicks Fast Food, the line chart involving Fast Food appears and if the user clicks Department Store, the line chart involving Department Store appears?
So far, I've been able to use this helpful article http://kb.tableau.com/articles/knowledgebase/multiple-sources-one-worksheet to display Fast Food and Department Store at request. But if the user clicks Fast Food, he will get only one line, instead of multiple lines (one for each restaurant).
I hope I have described my problem clearly.
You can fairly easily do this using a parameter control and using it as a filter in your sheets.
First, create a parameter control "View Control":
Next, create a calculated field based on the parameter for each data source:
The calculation should match the data source ('Fast Food' for the fast food source, and so on)
Then place the calculated fields in the filter card and set to True. This should hide one of the sheets and show the other. They should never be shown or hidden at the same time.
Lastly, place both sheets and the parameter control onto a dashboard. It is best to place the two sheets within the same layout container. You should get the following result:
change parameter:
I have an incident queue, consisting of a record number-string, the open time - datetime, and a close time-datetime. The records go back a year or so. What I am trying to get is a line graph displaying the queue volume as it was at 8PM each day. So if a ticket was opened before 8PM on that day or anytime on a previous day, but not closed as of 8, it should be contained in the population.
I tried the below, but this won't work because it doesn't really take into account multiple days.
If DATEPART('hour',[CloseTimeActual])>18 AND DATEPART('minute',[CloseTimeActual])>=0 AND DATEPART('hour',[OpenTimeActual])<=18 THEN 1
ELSE 0
END
Has anyone dealt with this problem before? I am using Tableau 8.2, cannot use 9 yet due to company license so please only propose 8.2 solutions. Thanks in advance.
For tracking history of state changes, the easiest approach is to reshape your data so each row represents a change in an incident state. So there would be a row representing the creation of each incident, and a row representing each other state change, say assignment, resolution, cancellation etc. You probably want columns to represent an incident number, date of the state change and type of state change.
Then you can write a calculated field that returns +1, -1 or 0 to to express how the state change effects the number of currently open incidents. Then you use a running total to see the total number open at a given time.
You may need to show missing date values or add padding if state changes are rare. For other analytical questions, structuring your data with one record per incident may be more convenient. To avoid duplication, you might want to use database views or custom SQL with UNION ALL clauses to allow both views of the same underlying database tables.
It's always a good idea to be able to fill in the blank for "Each record in my dataset represents exactly one _________"
Tableau 9 has some reshaping capability in the data connection pane, or you can preprocess the data or create a view in the database to reshape it. Alternatively, you can specify a Union in Tableau with some calculated fields (or similarly custom SQL with a UNION ALL clause). Here is a brief illustration:
select open_date as Date,
"OPEN" as Action,
1 as Queue_Change,
<other columns if desired>
from incidents
UNION ALL
select close_date as Date,
"CLOSE" as Action,
-1 as Queue_Change,
<other columns if desired>
from incidents
where close_date is not null
Now you can use a running sum for SUM(Queue_Change) to see the number of open incidents over time. If you have other columns like priority, department, type etc, you can filter and group as usual in Tableau. This data source can be in addition to your previous one. You don't have ta have a single view of the data for every worksheet in your workbook. Sometimes you want a few different connections to the same data at different levels of detail or for perspectives.
