I'm using Measure Values for combining two measures:
1)Count of Clients (As a percentage)
2)% Retention (Calculated field which uses another calculated field called Numerator Retention in it's formula over the total to calculate the %)
Measure Value Mark Labels successfully show the respective percentages for the two measures. Now I wanna show the respective count of clients or numbers behind these percentages but I'm unable to do so since I've already used Measure Value Mark Labels to do something similar.
When I try editing the Labels text, it edits it for all labels together and hence I'm getting all labels for all rows and not how I want it to show selectively as I described.
Example Solution: For Private Residence, I only want 125 to show with 60% which is the actual number behind the percentage. And I want only 119 to show with 95%
You can do this, but not using Measure Values. You should mirror what I have done here. I do not know your calculation for the Respective Retention, so use your calculation.
You need to move both of your measures to the Columns shelf and make them a Dual Axis:
After doing that, you will have access to the individual measures - so you can give labels independently:
Just make sure you place the measures that you want for each axis respectively.

Is it possible to add percentages to the chart legend, or is it the only way to put percentages to the chart, by adding the "Percentile Value Data"?
Thanks for your help in advance.
AFAIK the percentile value is usually something different, it only makes sense if the categories are based on intervals, e.g. given 7 billion living humans and measuring their age, the top 0.1 percentile are the 7_000_000_000 * 0.1/100 = 7_000_000 oldest living humans.
So, percentile values make sense for things you can measure, like age, income, length - in other words, numbers, or at least things which can be ordered.
You wouldn't use a pie chart then.
Percentile values don't make sense for things that cannot be measured like car labels.

M Williams writes there (I just repeat this here):
In the chart editor, you can go to the "format data" tab, then to the value series section, click on the "labels" button at the bottom, delete the "value data" option from the values window, then from the dropdown below the window, choose the percentage option and add it. This will show your pie chart labels in percentage.
Every column have same 6 level of factor variables.(5 columns)
These charts are count of record by levels.
How do i combine these charts into one?
Put the predefined field Measure Values on the Row Shelf. The you’ll see a new shelf appear called Measure Values. Place the measures you want to see on the Measure Values shelf (and remove them from the Rows shelf)
Then place the predefined field Measure Names on The color or label shelf.
I'm attempting to calculate the percent of total based off the the first column in each pane. However, table calculations only allow a calculation based off the each pane
SUM({ FIXED [Category]:SUM([Number of Records])})/TOTAL(SUM([Number of Records]))
does not produce the desired result.
It simply measures the number of records total in the category.
I cannot fixed the TOTAL function to category as it is a table calculation.
In the image, essentially I am trying to get all of the bars of the same color together without adjusting their heights.
enter image description here
I'm not really sure on what you're trying to do, when you say "percent of total based off the the first column in each pane" - does that mean total records with category 'furniture' & region 'central' shown as a percentage of all records, or total records with category 'furniture' shown as a percentage of all records with region 'central'? Or something else?
I have a feeling you can get to what you need by creating 2 fixed LOD calculations, or by fixing to 2 dimensions (e.g. { FIXED [Category],[Region]:SUM([Number of Records])}
I'm trying to build a shewhart-style control chart in Tableau and having trouble with setting a fixed sample size for the data points plotted on the chart. Consistent sample sizes are critical for setting accurate control limits so I'm dead in the water until I can specify that tableau only use 10-30 random rows to calculate each point on the chart.
I thought I could accomplish this by returning a random number in my query and filtering on the top N results for each pane but I can't seem to wrap my head around how to actually execute that.
I am in the process of converting few of my ssrs reports into tableau. I created a tabular model worksheet which shows Comparison of budget & actual amount in region, district , year wise. I have added region, district in row shelf and budget & actual amounts in text shelf.
Now I need to show Budget & actual amounts in different color. Also I need to add a legend for each text colors. Please help how to do this tableau.
Thanks for the help
You need to place the Measure Values measure in the Text card instead. This will allow you to use the Measure Names dimension in the Color card.
For example:
You will need to filter on Measure Names to make sure you only include those two measures.
Also, I added Measure Names to the Rows section, but unchecked Show Header so that the numbers are vertically stacked.
