I am using Tableau 10.1.1 version.
I have used 15 columns in my tableau worksheet, but I am able to see only 11 columns when I see the sheet. I am not able to see remaining 4 columns (it is hidden). I want to see all the columns in my sheet atleast with drag option below in the sheet.
Could you please help.
Thanks in advance.
Tableau is not designed to display large spread sheet like tables as it is a data visualization tool and therefore, is not great for this.
You can increase the amount of columns viewable to a certain extent by going to Analysis-> Table Layout -> Advanced. Here in this pop up you can increase the maximum levels columns.

I have a table (as seen in link below), that has a system assessment that we conduct every year. The assessment is a series of 4 questions (or as we call them 'attributes') and there is only 3 possible outcomes.
Table
Using Tableau, I'd like to have the system as a filter (easy to do), and for each attribute build a pie chart. There are no measures that I capturing.
Any thoughts on how to do this?
Thanks.
Once you get to know the power of LOD calculations in Tableau it is not that tough. Walkthrough-
Step-1 Create LOD calculated field for each Attribute as, Attri_1_Measure
{Fixed [Status of Attribute 1] : COUNT (sheet_name)}
Step-2 Add Attri_1_Measure to angle, size and text measures, Status_of_attri1 to text and color. You'll get your desired view.
Step-3 Add System to filters, right click and add filters to context (very important step).
You can repeat these steps for each attribute.
Note: Beginning version 2020 of tableau there is no measure as number of records, but there is a sheet/data_table count measure therein. Good Luck.
Aliter: Easy solution:
Click on/select number_of_records/count(sheet) and also 'attribute_1field in data pane and clickpie_chartonshow_me` (ctrl +1) tool of tableau and pie chart will be created.
I am trying to add rows to sheet to create a tableau table. I cant seem to think how to get table headers in the Y axis
It should look something like this.
However I have got something like this without the row wise headers or panes separating each row.
Also I want to look better
Heres what I got.:
Please help
This is simple.. You have added all pills to columns. Move measures to rows and let them be continuous only. One tip for easy formatting like a cross tab.. double click second measure
I asked this question (and this question) recently, and even though both have solutions, I am left with a new dilemma because each solution only works on an independent level (i.e. one solution won't work if the other solution is in place).
The problem is this: In Tableau, I discovered that by opting to display the data as a percentage of the total row value Analysis > Percentage of > Row, it resulted in the count value also being displayed as a number between 0 and 1 (i.e. percentage format, because of the aforementioned percentage-only setting).
Is there a way to achieve a 100.00% stacked bar which shows both percentage AND count, and which also isn't formatted to display all data as a percentage of the row total?
The screenshot shows what happens when both solutions are in place. Original screenshots are available within the body of each of the previous questions.
Note: I feel that the right way to go about it might be to normalise my data (bringing all values to a scale between 0 and 1), but being new to Tableau, I am not sure how this is achieved. If this is correct, I would appreciate a walkthrough.
Right click on the second SUM({Number of Records]) pill on the Label shelf, and clear the table calc. Edit your label if needed
I am not a tableau developer but i am just a user of tableau reports. My engineer is telling something is not possible so wanted to take experts suggestions and help to solve the problem.
My requirement is simple. We need to build a report in tableau with 4 columns and the last column should contain a color coded arrows (R,G,Y) representing the data trend (Up/Continuous/Down). The data will change frequently and the input source is excel sheet. My engineer is suggesting that, everytime we have to manually set those shapes in the 4th column, once the report is generated from the excel (basically from the first 3 columns only). I dont like to have a manual intervention everytime in tableau since i am not good at building/editing reports and its not a best practice to automate something.
In below picture the last column is the one i wanted to automatically generated based on excel sheets data.
My suggestion to him is to add the 4 column with data as below and in tableau bring the shapes accrodingly using some kind of a formula or so.
GC = Green continuous
GU = Green upwards trend
GD = Green downwards trend.. followed with different color codes (Green/Red/Yellow) as per data.
Is that possible in Tableau? If so any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kiran
It is definitely possible, as long as you have a formula that can produce the GC, GU, etc. values. Then it is simply a matter of mapping your custom values to relevant shapes (which is a simple manual one-off step in Tableau). If built-in shapes are not sufficient, you can add custom ones. Some types of shapes can also be colored dynamically, based on another formula.
Use Tableau Help or Google/Tableau Forum to find out how to do all of this.
I am using Jaspersoft studio 6.2. In my report, only one summary band, two crosstabs are placed vertically. The issue is the two crosstabs will overlap if I don't leave enough space for the top crosstab. But the truth is the row group is from a query so is dynamic, I will never know what height is enough (or too much) for the top crosstab. I am from other reporting tools (ssrs, crystal), this never been an issue, just wondering what's the best practice to deal with it in Jasper?
EDIT: added screenshots
The report definition in jaspersoft studio. There are two crosstabs in summary band. There is not much space between two crosstabs.
The result: you can see two crosstabs overlap.
The only solution I have is to put huge space between the two like this: The only problem is next time there may be more data and crosstab 1 may grow and will overlap again.
Set position type = Float of second crosstab.
You can find it in properties - > appearance tab.
