My data source is Excel file. I imported the Excel file in a tableau. I want to create custom calculated row field for each column.
In the above picture, I can generate Grand Total in tableau from here Analysis -> Totals -> Show column grand totals. My problem is I want to generate another row which will have value from sum of High + medium row values.
Note: I taken this screenshot from excel sheet and please ignore the values in the row.
You can create a calculated field to sum just the High and Low values. Something like:
sum(If [Priority] = 'High' or [Priority] = 'Low' then [Value] end)

I have a data table with three dimensions and one measure. For each row, I am trying to calculate the percentage of total (calculated by taking the sum of rows) using a calculated field.
As seen in the screenshot attached, For the column titles 'Dec-19' I want the values to be a percentage of current value / grand total (calculated at the bottom as 122,187)
Screenshot of DataTable:
So e.g. for the Column B value of 2000, the Dec-19 column should be (97/122,187) * 100 = 0.079.
I have achieved this by creating a calculated field with the formula: SUM (sales) / MAX ({EXCLUDE (Column B): Sum (sales}), where sales is the measure used in the datatable.
However, upon application of filter on column B, the percentage value changes. e.g. if I select the value 2000 in my filter for column B, I get the percentage as 100%. It seems as if the percentage is being calculated based on only the rows in the filter.
Since you haven't included any sample data, I created some sample data like this, hope this resemble yours.
Thereafter, I built a cross-tab view in tableau, somewhat like yours
If that is the scenario, use a calculated field, say CF like this, instead of yours
([Sales])/
{FIXED [Col1], DATETRUNC('month', [Col3]) : sum([Sales])}
Dragging it in the view
and thus, filtering won't affect your calculation
I am trying to calculate average of 2 columns in another column in Tableau but difficult part is grand total is not getting average instead it is the sum of 3rd calculated field.
A B Calculated field
10 5 2
6 3 2
T 16 8 4 (Here I should get 2 instead it is taking sum of column)
Here I am unable to write separate formula for row totals and grand totals, Only one formula (Calculated Field) is allowed and when I am dragging on sheet it is by default aggregating to sum.
Note: I am expert in Crystal and BO but beginner in Tableau.
Update
Code used for LoD
{FIXED [Product Category]: AVG([Sales])}
Below image is what I got after implementation I have tried with 2 columns but the result is same if I use only one column (I am trying to get the average of sales)
You are almost there - the Grand Total by default does a SUM function you just have use the Total All Using --> Average option.
Output : Level wise SUM(Profit) later averaged across columns and rows. (Show Column Grand Total & Show Row Grand Total active)
Update: Answering the question below. To get the Row-wise avg (which is Cat1-vag in this case) you could just drop the measure and change it to AVG(). Since you needed in a Calculated Field you could use a Simple FIXED LOD. You can also uncheck aggregated measures from Analysis dropdown and have no Dimension in column or row like unlike what this example shows and still get three different averages. Cheers.
{FIXED [Cat1]:AVG([Profit])}
Check out this very smart work around from Joe Mako.
https://community.tableau.com/thread/112791
create a calc field like:
IF FIRST()==0 THEN
WINDOW_AVG(SUM([Sales]),0,IIF(FIRST()==0,LAST(),0))
END
duplicate your Category field
place "Category (copy)" on the level of detail
set the compute using for the calc field pill to use "Category (copy)"
The window function in the calculated field only takes into account what's in the view, and aggregate based on those number.
I am trying to find the difference between 2 columns in tableau. The catch though here is that each column is ranked based on a value. The difference i need is between these 2 ranked columns
The rank is computed using the table calculations rank function. Attaching the picture for more information
I am assuming "current" and "prior" are calculated fields.
Just create a new calculated field, here I'll call it "Result". In this field just minus your one from the other so:
[Current - Prior]
Then pull this new field into your measures values on your sheet.
I'm trying to calculate the percentage in Tableau from a value in a table.
For example. I have a table that contains the following
Name Value
a 10
b 20
c 30
Ref 100
How can I have the percentages calculated based on the Ref value like for example a/Ref
Name Value Percentage (x/Ref)
a 10 10%
b 20 20%
c 30 30%
Thanks
You can either
use tableaus built in functionality:
Right click the measure pill and select "quick table calculation -> Percentage of total"
2.Use calculated fields.
Create a calculated field(Analysis->Create Calculated Field) called reference. As the value enter the integer you want.
Create a second calculated field call it percentage. Here enter the mathematical formula to get a percentage using the reference calculated field as your total.
So something like:
[Value] / [refrence] *100
You don't need the reference calc field, you could just hard code the value into the calculation.
Drag the percentage calculated field into the row shelf.
I have a crosstab that works out the average for the pivoted column.
It looks like this
I need to have averages totals for "Part Mark", "Exam Mark" and "Mod Mark" like the pivoted columns have
Here is what the report in iReport looks like (I've added green blocks with my amazing photo editing skills to show where the totals fields will need to be)
Here is the Solution:
create measure which should represent the field for which you want to perform
the Average calculation
set Value Expression to the field on which Average calculation should be performed
set Calculation to Average
add this field to the Total section of your crosstab
