In cross Tab:
One column is date. I need to show only month in following order fiscal year order:
April
May
june
July
August
September
october
november
december
january
febuary
march.
It should not be more than one time. While I am trying I am getting duplicates months in the column.
it may happen because of many causes. My opinion is, you should put some screen shot or your codes here, so it easier for experts to understand you problem.
this is what i can suggest to you
if you have many tables linked together, please double check if the link is correct or not
OR
you can select Database-->Select Distinct Record at the menu

I am trying to get YoY percent growth in Tableau. I would like to see 2015 Jan Unique customers vs 2014 Jan Customers and so on and so forth till the last set of data.
When doing this in Sample super store, I get the following viz.
What I am looking is for a continuous view where the years are not broken down. Something similar to this:
Any suggestions on how I can get to the final stage.
Thanks
If you just use the year in columns, you should get the desired result (Remove the month from column). If it is still creating issues, you can create a calculated column which just has the year and use it in the visualization. The following link should guide you through the steps (Except its a bar chart, so the year would have been converted to discrete. You should be fine with continuous):

Hope this helps.
I was wondering if there's a way where I can filter out my table results based on two years. My table A has date column and many miscellaneous columns. So currently I would like the table A to display January 2018 (or 1/1/2018) and December 2019 (or 12/31/2019 --basically ongoing) information. However, once January 1st, 2020 appears, I would like my table A to display row results between January 2019 and December 2020. Is there a way I can do so? Maybe in DAX or clicking some filter option? Could someone show me? I'm still fairly new to PowerBI.
Thanks
The easiest way to meet this requirement is usually using the Relative Date Slicer or Filter functionality:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/desktop-slicer-filter-date-range
Not sure if any of those options will meet your scenario. Maybe Last 12 Months (Calendar)? Your requirements description didnt make much sense to me - you probably need to explain "ongoing" and "appears".
If the Relative Date functions dont meet your needs, then you'll need to construct a column (in Power Query or DAX) that returns a static value you can use in a Slicer or Filter.
I have a requirement in which I have to show the data of last month of each year. So I used a max_month LOD expression which is working fine for all the years except rolling year. My rolling year ranges from Aug 2017 to July 2018. Now when I am using max_month filter for rolling year it is showing me the data of december 2017, but in actual I want to show july 2018. What will be the right approach to fix this?
I am not sure even if your formula worked, its missing basic syntax, and based on your explanation table calculation is missing the Computation logic.
Implemented the same at my end and below is the logic.
Formula to be used:
If MAX(MONTH([Order Date]))=WINDOW_MAX(MAX(MONTH([Order Date])))
THEN 'TRUE'
ELSE 'FALSE'
END
For this table calculation you need to compute along year and corresponding dimension and reset at every year (I guess you are missing this in your current logic).
Let me know how it goes
I need to modify some Tableau dashboards so that they show from the previous month going back 12 months.
For example, it is August 2017 now, so the company wants to see the 12 months ending at July 2017. In other words: Aug 2016, Sept 2016, Oct 2016...June 2017, July 2017.
Using Tableau's relative date filter, users can easily select "previous month" (July 2017) or "previous 12 months" (Sept 2016-Aug 2017) on the relative date filter. But they can't choose previous month going back 12 months (Aug 2016-July 2017).
I was thinking of writing a formula that sets current month as 0, previous month as 1, month before that as 2 etc and that way I can filter to only show months 1, 2, ...12. And not show month 0, the current month.
Is this the best approach? I thought Tableau would have an option for this - surely a lot of companies want to see a year worth of data ending at the previous month? (Since the current month is not yet complete so they don't want to see a partial month's data).
Thanks for your ideas!
You are right about this being a common requirement. I do 'Last 12 months' filter too which excludes current month since it is not a full month.
In my case I have defined a True/False type calculated field which I use to filter records which show in the dashboards.
Here is the formula that I use:
DATEDIFF('month',[My Timestamp Field],Today()) < 13 and DATEDIFF('month',[My Timestamp Field],Today()) > 0
I have a data set that has dates for many years. I can easily filter the data by month or week, but I was hoping to change the X axis to make it start in October and end in April.
Is there a way to do this in Tableau without altering the original data and listed dates?
I don't know about it ending in April since that would not be a full 12 months but you can make it start in October. Right click on your date field > Default Properties > Fiscal Year Start. Then select October.
