I have been trying to visualise a sequence chart(flow) in tableau using sankey chart. is there any workaround for sankey? if there is an workaround suggest a good visualisation.
You can use heatmaps with source/ target in rows and columns and the flow value be represented in the cell.
Alternatively, you can stick with tableau for sankeys. I have done that and it adds immense value to develop overall storyline.

I am looking for a way to plot a cumulative flow diagram that includes trend-lines on Azure Devops Dashboard. Are there any default / extension widgets that will allow this?
Thank you.
Out of the box, the trend-line feature you're looking for is not available. The Analytics Widgets provided with Azure DevOps can handle the majority of use cases but the Cumulative Flow Diagram doesn't understand the concept of end-date which is what is required to create an ideal trend.
There are other options:
Excel. There is an Office integration for Azure DevOps and if you can get the raw data you want from a basic Query, you can play with the data in Excel
Power BI. By far a better option than Excel because it leverages the analytics views and you can build some pretty amazing views.
Update:

Limitations of adding a trendline to stacked-chart visuals is described as:
The following visuals can use only a constant line from the Analytics pane:
Stacked area chart
Stacked bar chart
Stacked column chart
Waterfall chart
100% Stacked bar chart
100% Stacked column chart
The following visuals can use a trend line if there's time data:
Area chart
Clustered column chart
Line chart
Line and clustered column chart
Scatter chart
One power-user has suggested that you could create a line chart with the same synchronized axis and overlay it on top. I don't fully understand how you can have a trend-line for stacked data, so this approach would only work if the trendline is for the bottom unstacked column.
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.
In Tableau Public 10.4, I am trying to find the setting that allows me to move the percentages of the following pie chart on to the slices, versus off of them (as they currently are). Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!
You could do it manually:

Or do it a hacky way if you want it 'automatically:

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 have been trying to recreate a modified Sankey based on Adam's work with the American Whiskey Viz and Beatles Analysis Viz that are found here:
https://public.tableau.com/s/gallery/beatles-analysis
https://public.tableau.com/s/gallery/american-whiskey-wheel
I am trying to create the same effect on my own data set. I am not sure how Adam was able to line up the sankey portion with the bar chart perfectly. I have tried many different ID2 field configurations and varying metric fields in the Curve calculated field options with no success. I haven't been able to get them to line up exactly. I would also like my bases to start in different locations along the sankey and not all originating from the left.
I realize that the examples are working with much smaller data sets but believe that this should still be possible with my data. I have tried Business ID in my curve formula and wondering if I need to have a more generic metric in my model. Andy uses Song ID which is a number between 1 and 45. My IDs range from 3-3000. You can see in the workbook attached how I am setting up these fields to get the curve of the Sankey. Is it possible to get them to line up with the barchart at the top of Dashboard 2?
UPDATE 3/22/16:
I was able to get the lines much closer to their bars by modifying the Curve-LoyaltyID2 field. I loaded it to Public for easier viewing. Some lines are still not aligning directly to their corresponding bars though.

Thanks for any ideas you have!
