I'm doing a graph using google bar charts to show sales revenue for branches all over the world.
Revenue is displayed in various currencies. Sometimes there is a big difference in the numbers due to some weaker currencies that ridiculously low Eg 1 billion zim dollar = 1 USD.
So when bars shows, you will see massive bar for zim dollar and cannot see the USD one... If you hover over the USD key on the right of the graph it highlight the small line that represents USD
But there is no way to hover over the bar itself to at least see the value. it's just too small... like 1 pixel or even less.
Is there a way to set a min height of the bar so that at least one can hover over it?

Tableau Public, SQL, Excel. I have an up and down bar chart of about 30 customerIDs and how much they spent. ~3 big spenders, ~5 medium spenders, many small spenders. I want to make one bar chart with the three big spenders having fat bars, the 5 next spenders having medium thickness bars, the rest having very skinny bars. All on the same chart from the same excel sheet of data. Any way to do this? Tableau Public/SQL/Excel. Extra credit: any ways to make the bars different colors or maybe shaded in some way? Thank you so much in advance anon tech guru!!!! You're the best!!!

not sure what to do!
Place your total $ on Size marks.
Or if you want to have them to be the same for each group, make a calculated field based on the cutoff desired and place that on size.
I am attempting to create a 100% stacked bar chart in Tableau where the total stacked measure is always equal to 100% on the axis in order to make a productivity dashboard. I want all filter options to look like the first picture attached below where the total stretches and stops at 100%. However, some cases break this rule, such as going over 100% or when the "All" option is selected and stretches it 700%.
I tried fixing the axis max at 100% and it works perfectly for all the individual employees but since the "All" selection goes up to 700%, it just shows it all the way full at 100%. Is there anyway to make my total measure, in this case "Goal", always set to 100% no matter what the number is? This is my current formula for my total measure of "Goal" {Fixed [Contractor], Date: SUM([Goal])} / {Fixed [Contractor], [Date]: SUM([Goal])}
Thank you for any help!
Employee 1 with normal productivity where the axis is staying at 100%.
Employee 2 going over 100% where the axis then stretches past 100%.
All employees added up where it stretches the axis to over 700%.
This is most likely a problem with the "Compute Using" attributes for the table calculation. Since table calculations are secondary calculations on top of your existing measures you have the flexibility for how they are calculated.
Here is how to adjust this. Click on your measure and select "Edit Table Calculation..."
To get the same result as you I will want the table calculation to calculate on "Table (across)" which will look at the dimension (in my picture, Category) instead of by Category AND Month. The little numbers in brackets and the yellow highlights are especially helpful in showing you how the calculations are being interpreted.
See the default "Table (down)" and the desired "Table (across)" calculations in the screenshot below. You will likely want the same but it might depend on your exact Viz setup.
current imageI want to increase gap between bars in my SSRS bar chart after every group is finished (e.g. after every month). I have 2 category groups month and level. in each month there are 3 levels and I want to increase gap after 3 columns.
can you please help me?increase gap
There does not appear to be a way to increase the gap. However, there are two 'solutions'.
1. Go to the Chart Series Properties -> General -> Custom Attributes, and reduce the point width, perhaps from 0.8 to 0.6. Have a little play until you find something you like.
2. SSRS: Custom bar width between multi-level categories Try something like this. Add a dummy group to your dataset that has no value and turn the labels off.
I would go for number 1 as it is much simpler.
I asked this question (and this question) recently, and even though both have solutions, I am left with a new dilemma because each solution only works on an independent level (i.e. one solution won't work if the other solution is in place).
The problem is this: In Tableau, I discovered that by opting to display the data as a percentage of the total row value Analysis > Percentage of > Row, it resulted in the count value also being displayed as a number between 0 and 1 (i.e. percentage format, because of the aforementioned percentage-only setting).
Is there a way to achieve a 100.00% stacked bar which shows both percentage AND count, and which also isn't formatted to display all data as a percentage of the row total?
The screenshot shows what happens when both solutions are in place. Original screenshots are available within the body of each of the previous questions.
Note: I feel that the right way to go about it might be to normalise my data (bringing all values to a scale between 0 and 1), but being new to Tableau, I am not sure how this is achieved. If this is correct, I would appreciate a walkthrough.
Right click on the second SUM({Number of Records]) pill on the Label shelf, and clear the table calc. Edit your label if needed
I want to represent some data visually, using a visualization component.
Now I want to represent this situation in a visual way:
Suppose I have an web application. I want to get an overview in a visual way about how users are reacting to it.
Say:
in Day1 I have 2 users: u1, u2
in Day2 I have 2 users: u1, u2
In Day3 I have 3 users: u3, u4
It is useless to draw a line chart here. Because I'll be seeing a constant line. Although I have lost 2 users and gained 2 users in Day3.
How to represent this data in a chart? The chart should give me an idea about: -
total number of users
number of users lost
number of users gained.
Stacked bar. Top of the stack is new users in a day. It sits on top of (total users at day start - new users), which sits on the x-axis. Dipping below the x-axis is users lost. Thus the height above the x-axis is the actual number of users that day, and the total height of the bar (above and below the x-axis) is the total number of users before your users were lost.
I like Adam Bellaire's suggestion. I just threw together this little sketch of what that might look like. (I prefer simple lines instead of thick bars). After sketching it out, I'm not sure how much I like it. Any thoughts?
Edit: after further thinking, I think this is the best. The other options I listed seem inadequate.
A grouped bar chart like this:

With one bar for each category, number on Y axis and date on X axis.

Personally I would use a line for the users in a day and a bar for the number of new users/total users.
