I'm using Tableau to show items resolved over time, either 'On Time' or 'Overdue'.
I want to be able to show the users individual performance as a reference line and what the company average is as a second reference line.
The graph plots the items 'On Time' over time.
I can only get the users average individual performance to show as a reference line.
Any ideas how to create this company wide average?
Cant share workbook as has sensitive data, but can share calculations.

I want to create a line chart with two lines in AWS CloudWatch Logs Insights. One line representing mobile users and the other desktop users, showing a success rate for each group of users.
This this is the code I am working with:
| fields
properties.device as device,
properties.success as success
| stats avg(success) by device, bin(1hour)
The results of this query look promising. As you can see, the results include the device type, a timestamp, and the floating-point number to be plotted on the line chart:
# device bin(1hour) avg(success)
1 desktop 2023-02-01T10:00:00.000 0.6129
2 mobile 2023-02-01T10:00:00.000 0.7453
3 desktop 2023-02-01T09:00:00.000 0.5578
4 mobile 2023-02-01T09:00:00.000 0.6082
However, the Visualization tab shows me this error:
The data is not suitable for a line chart.
Try a bar chart, or group your result by bin function.
I think Logs Insights is getting confused by my overlapping timestamps. It does not know that I intend one time series of mobile data and another of desktop data. To group by a field and bin by time, I seem to be doing the standard thing using a single by operation with two arguments. But it's not good enough to create a line chart.
Is there a better way to structure my query to convince CloudWatch of what I am trying to do?
I can see the count of users with the explore report like this:
However, if I want to check out how much % of users are on mobile or desktop. There is no way to show that.
The current report might have very small and huge values because the visitor of the website is very unstable. But the % of the visitors should be a stable value.
Is it possible to create a metric, that the values in it equals mobile/total?
I was wondering if anyone had a method of running a report to see what a user is doing in Epicor or what they are printing. We are having users report that in the middle of the night, when no one is here at the plant, there are 500 page reports being printed. We are able to see in the print queue who printed what, but the report doesn't match up with anything in our system. We would have for example a report called DailySales.rpt, but in the printer queue it would be something like hb986a87dthr.rpt. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this, or would have a solution that would let me see what a user is printing.
It is not possible to link the print job directly to the SysTask record because neither the print job number, the temp file, nor mac addresses are saved in Epicor for cross referencing. It can be approximated by looking at runtimes and the SysTask record.
You can create a BAQ and BAQ report to display Active and recently completed SysTask information by user. This will give you the report run, start/end times, user, and current status. If you need more detailed information such as the criteria used in the report, you can also join to the SysTaskParam table. Keep in mind that the SysTaskParam table is fully normalized by field name, so you may want to join multiple copies of the table with specific criteria if you need a lot of information. Unfortunately, for "print all pages" jobs, Epicor doesn't know how many pages the report will be until after the data is instantiated and then it is rendered in the reporting software, so you won't be able to get any estimate of number of pages or size.
There are many strategies for mitigating the issue you described. Here are a couple:
You can use criteria within the BAQ to limit the number of records returned for a specific query
You can create a subquery criteria from BAQ parameters to return no data when abnormally open parameters are used for the report (e.g. > 30 days range). You could also use this method with time gates based on the current system time.

We use Tableau to create self-serve reports for various internal groups. The reports are identical in structure and style, but have different source data. As an example: European sales YTD and North American sales YTD.
For reasons we can't just have one workbook that each group then selects a dropdown for their data, they have to be separate workbooks. There are maybe a dozen of these.
We find ourselves constantly catching bugs or adding new components, and then having to go do it 10+ identical times in all the workbooks. Or worse, making a hot-fix and then not doing it for the others until it becomes an issue.
Ideally we'd make the change once in one master workbook and it'd cascade to all the others. Is something like that possible in Tableau?
In Crystal Reports, is there a way to get both full set charting and subset charting, in the report headers?
I'm working on a report from an erstwhile co-worker and I'm still trying to make things "better".
While I haven't found the solution to accruing time
( see Accruing over time (non-overlapping) - technique? )
I'll press on with how to use the resulting data once I retrieve it.
The report is a Global Availability report for network technologies, and part of the report is graphic:
Chart availability for different
network types for last "n" months'
time.
Charts availability for each region
(for each network type for "n"
months' time).
She (co-worker) had a global chart, but for each region, she did a separate sub-report containing just the chart for that region. The query isn't optimal, and using the sub-reports, the query is repeated each time.
If there a way to use a single data-set in one report for all five charts, forcing the four regional charts to display only that region's data?
Additional info:
The charts are all Bar charts, design is
y-axis: calculated availability
x-axis: Group by network type (Switches, Trunks, "Network)
sub group by month
Bad Example:
Let me see if I understand this. In your Report Header, you have 5 Subreports for the 4 regional graphs and the global graph. And you want to collapse this all into 1 Subreport if possible?
Yes, but you can't do it like in your image where United States & Europe are side-by-side. They would have to be 1 per row. Also, the datasource also has to be formatted correctly. To do this,
Make a new subreport. Group it by the Region.
In this subreport, make your regional graph in the Group Header section.
In this subreport, also make your global graph in the Report Header section.
Insert this subreport into your main report and you should be done.
Sometimes, the only way out of the fire is through it.
After lots of un-satisfactory refactoring, I spoke with the original (years ago) requestor and got some good information. I have yet to speak to the most recent requestor again (who didn't have any knowledge of the technical requirements the last several times).
Spoke w/ the guy who is tending a related db, and I get permission to add come functions, views, store procedures, etc. to THAT db... Within reason and after code/perf review -- something that isn't normally conducted, so I welcome it. I WILL have the ability to do the procedural stuff through... a procedure. Written as a stand-alone, I should be able to re-use it for any of the queries against future needs.
And... Yes, I am pretty much going to have to (read "get to") re-design, and hopefully get rid of most of the sub-reports. Yeay, me.
Thanks for coming along for the ride.
