In Tableau, I have a table with 8 Dimensions in the Rows Shelf. I also have a Calculated Field Dimension called "Blank" which only contains whitespace (" ") as a placeholder. However, as shown in the image below, this table is only displaying Fields 3-8 despite Fields 1-8 being included in the Rows Shelf. How can I fix this? I have edited the photo to redact sensitive information, yet included field names so it conveys the necessary information.
For the sake of others that may stumble upon this question.
The reason the columns are not shown is due a Tableau setting that is defaulting the maximum number of visible "row labels" to 6. This setting can be changed easily.
Problem - Column labels hidden and labels concatenated:
Solution - Update the table layout settings:
At the top, click on Analysis > Table Layout > Advanced
Increase Maximum levels of row labels and Maximum levels of horizontal row labels to at least the number of dimensions in the Rows section.
Result - All column labels displayed:

I want to show both absolute and percentage value in a single view in the form of a matrix.
In the below view I am trying to add one more column showing values as percentages of total
Got hint here but not able to replicate:Tableau - Both count and Percentage in Measure Values
The data is like this
can any one please suggest!
Not that difficult. I recreated a data like yours,
Follow these steps
Add slide on rows
Add number of records in text on marks card
Add table calculation on this field -> percent of total. The view will look like this
Notice a small triangle in 'no of records' field. That indicates that it is table calculation
Add number of records field once again to text. (Tip: Double click the field number of records to add it to view directly)
Reorder as you like
or with totals
In columns, I have "Category" in columns and in Rows, I have Sum(Sales). I added a quick table calculation for percent of total. Y axis vales changed to percentages however numbers on top of the bars are not changing into percentages. Am I missing something?
Drag the table calculation, the pill on the Rows shelf, to the Label shelf.
Ctrl-drag from Rows and the calculation will match exactly that on the Rows, including any advanced settings.
I guess you just have a standard SUM([Sales]) currently on the label shelf.
Hi ,
Sorry for blur image! As We can see for Conversion Attrition ,Converted ,Remaining - some values are there!But it's dividing ,I need the values in the same column.
I have done this but the division is coming ! I need help here ! Thanks in advance.
If you want to reduce the number of column headers, remove some discrete (blue) fields from the columns shelf. If you want to reduce the number of row headers, remove some discrete (blue) fields from the rows shelf.
Depending on your data shape and values, you might want to put the fields you take off those shelfs onto another shelf, such as the text shelf.
The easiest approach is treat understanding Tableau as a series of experiments and learn from them -- i.e. if I do this, what does Tableau do in response? In this case, the discrete fields on the rows and columns axis define the row and column headers for your viz, dividing the view into panes and cells.
You have to also keep aware of which fields you are treating as dimensions in your view. That will determine the level of detail of the viz and the number of marks.
I am Creating a Cross-tab with Tableau Desktop 10.0.
I need to show each column in the cross-tab in different background color. How to do this tableau. I have read about a method using calculated columns, but i am looking for other options. Also is it possible differentiate each columns with a line?
Thanks for help
I'm not sure what you mean by calculated columns but the only way I know is to use a dummy Measure in the columns shelf and then place the actual measure you want on the Text pill. Set the marks to Bar and increase the size to full. Each Measure will have its own dummy Measure in the column shelf. Take a look at this example. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60455118/160919%20stack%20question.twbx
As for differentiating each column with a line, you can do this by going Format > Borders > Column and adjust the Column Divider.
I'd like to create a 'header' label that 1) is centered over the cross-tab and 2) grows with it. Unfortunately, CR 2008 (or earlier for that matter) doesn't have this feature.
In image (below), I've added a text field above the cross-tab, but I can't think of a way to get it to grow/shrink (horizontally) with it.
If you're able to calculate, say by a summary function, the number of columns you will have then you can do this:
In your crosstab, check to see the width of your columns. The columns should be set widths. Edit: The crosstab adds some padding, so you will have to figure out the column width by measuring in Crystal with another field and eyeballing until it's close enough to work
Right-click on your label, and hit "Size & Position".
Add a new formula for the "Width". The X,Y positions should stay the same.
Use the summary function (You could create a SQL Expression or formula that only shows the month/year of your date fields and then distinctCount() them) to find out how many columns you will have multiplied by the width of each column. This will take some trial and error for sure, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
