Is there any way we can disable the change over period value in waterfall chart.
I am not able to view the total value. Its showing the difference between the total and previous year. But i want to see the total of current year.
Use one of the column charts instaed. That's what they are made for.

Well, I'm absolute newbie in Google Data Studio, but for any reason, my grand totals rows is not working.
I'm learning to use this tool, and I made an easy table with just countries and sessions.
Piece of Cake. Now I just want to add a total row where it sums all sessions. That's all. I activated option Show Summary Row but it shows nothing.
Thing's I've done and not worked:
Update and refresh
Changed time period and tried different dates just in case.
Delete and create again full table.
Checked connection. I get data and the data is right, I just cannot sum it.
Changed size and format of table, just in case it where a problems or margins or font color.
And I know it can be done, because different sources. I've read this question here:
Grand Total is wrong in Google Data Studio
But it did not help. In that question, a user posted an image in the comments:
As you can see, he managed to get what I'm trying to do.
So I must be doing something wrong, and I do not why.
UPDATE 2: If I apply a filter, I get no totals. You can see my config in the right side of image.
Can anybody give me a clue of how to make a grand totals row in Google Data Studio?
Thanks
Sounds like a bug. It should be a case of selecting that tick box. Strangely, I looked at an existing table I have with totals and when I unticked the box and then ticked again, the totals didn't reappear and disappeared off another table on the page (like your example). They did reappear eventually with some refreshing of the data and page but seems like there's something wrong with them.
I don't think this is a bug I think it part of the design.
I actually just discovered the reason this is happening at least for me, it doesn't actually sum the values in the table, the grand total summary of a table is a sum of whatever the metric being used is not the actual rows shown in the chart. so if you have a dimension (like age / gender) where there is data thresholding applied internally by google but are using a metric such as users you will see the grand total from the metric value without the thresholding applied from the dimension.
Proof below
You can see the grand total for column 2 is not 953.6 its 453.6 and if i look at a non threshold dimension (country)
you can see where the 953.6 comes from since the data source supplied to the table uses 80% of all users 1192 * .8 give me 953.6 which is what the grand total is displaying. Conclusion, the only way this number could be possible is if, when using a threshold dimension for a table with metric there will be a discrepancy since the grand total value is not coming from the table values but rather from metric source data, which will not have the tables dimension applied for some odd reason.
I am a newbie at Tableau (thought I have spent years working in R and Python), seems to be different in the way it handles things or I'm just not thinking the right way.
I have a data sources with training data (employees training and the status). The point is to build a dashboard that shows the % of training that is overdue. I have all of the logic for it, but I am stuck on something.
I have a calculated field to show me the total training due, then when I put that in a table, with a filter by year and a breakdown by month, I get the totals by month - good deal.
Now, I need to perform an year calculation (not the months, but the year based on a few different things), so my first step is I need to get the "Total Training Due" for December 2018. I have a dimension called "Due Month" which is a numeric (1,2,3,4, etc.) representing the month. So, based on what I have observed, I just need to do a little IF statement like so (keep in mind this is only for 2018 data right now):
IF [Due Month] = MAX[Due Month] THEN COUNT[Employee ID] END
I know this isn't the exact context, but it's sort of what I am looking for. So, for 2018, it would mean that, for all rows that are of month 12, I want to count those up (each row is a unique training requirement) and I want the total for the latest month in the data set. My overall goal is to create the calculation I need in a new sheet with a single calculated field (See the image below of the Excel spreadsheet and the J10 calculation). Then I can use a dashboard to combine everything. I thought about a total row at the bottom, but there isn't enough ways to change the totals to customize it to what I need. I figured I dashboard was the way to go and replicate each part it its own sheet.
I have seen so many suggestion for things like this, but not exactly this. I have tried many, but nothing that works. Here is the spreadsheet I am trying to replicate:
As you can see that calculation in J10 is kind of weird, no biggie for Excel, but I am struggling to replicate this in Tableau. Here is what I have in my Tableau so far, I'm 90% of the way there, I just need that last calculation. I have replicated the main table, and figure I'll do this J10 calc on a new sheet and just put them together on a Dahsboard. The only thing is, I want this to work when new data comes in, so I don't want to hard code any month numbers in there, I want it to be dynamic. Here is what I have on the tableau so far:
Thanks in advance!!
To get the value in Tableau that you have in F11 it's:
{FIXED [Due Year] : sum([Incomplete Overdue])}
You should be able to create that as another calculated field and then reference it, or include it directly in the Total Past Due Rate calculation.
This is an LOD calculation, the [Due Year] means that you only want the result dimensioned by the [Due Year] dimension, so you will get a different result for each year in the data source.
Thanks for this - after posting this, I was able to come up with this:
(TOTAL([Incomplete Overdue]) + SUM(IF ([Past Due]<0 AND INT([Due Month]) = {MAX(INT([Due Month]))}) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)) / COUNT(IF INT([Due Month]) = {MAX(INT([Due Month]))} THEN [Employee ID] END)
Which works for the basic result I was looking for.
I have this graph chart bar in Qlikview, the expression is:
INTERV= Sum(Quantity)/Count(Number)
and we can see the total for the first period is: 3450.76, i want to manipulate the total so as to calculate the total for each segment: the first segment is A: 192.70. I did Sum(TOTAL<Segment> INTERV) but it doesn't work to have the total I obtain 0 .
Your help is very apprciated
Thank you
Are you looking for a total for each value? In this instance it would not be possible as Qlikview is removing the text that it cannot show as the sections are too small.
You can increase the chart size so the overall area is larger, remove the stacking option or I would suggest having a separate Table chart to display these values alongside your graph.
Here are the options that can configure the different totals
For each category within a month (as you have at the moment) you enable this option.
Whilst to only have the total per month, this is on the expression tab.
I am very new to Tableau (first day user) and have been a long time Excel user. I am trying to fully understand the power of Tableau to eventually move away from Excel.
I have a question concerning dimensions and creating a calculated field.
My table has multiple categories and sub-categories. My goal is to display the total revenue and average order value per chosen sub-category (this seems easy enough).
I want to then take those sub-categories and show a combined sum of revenue and average of the average order value. I am stuck on trying to also combine these sub-categories to show a blended view.
Furthermore, the 2 sub-categories are weighted very differently. The average order value of 1 has a much heavier weight than the other and will definitely affect the AOV when combined. How do you also assign a weight to this combined total?
Any help will be much appreciated. I know this may be a rather simple solution but I am new to the program and am having difficulty finding this answer.

Best,
CR
Put sub categories in the rows column.
Put sum revenue in the text pill in the marks section
In the analysis tab on the top select column grand totals.
I'm unable to see your images,i hope this answers a apart of your question.
My company makes various products that go through specific manufacturing steps.
I have an SSRS report that graphs the following per step: quantity today as a bar, and then markers of quantity yesterday, the goal for the day, how many items moved in to the step today and how many moved out.
In the chart data area, I have a category group of step and a sum of values of all of the numbers. I don't have anything in the series group area. (I'm using VS 2013, also.)
The users would like to add a grouping to quantity today -- a stacked bar by product by step, but still keep the rest the same (the quantity yesterday, goal, in and out would still be by step only).
I am not sure how or if I can group on something for one value, but not for the other values.
I've tried using the series groups, or adding another category group, but nothing is quite right.
Thoughts? Thank you!
I added two more fields to the dataset, in addition to quantity today -- quantity special and a calculated field of quantity today minus quantity special (the remainder).
I then modified the SSRS report to NOT chart quantity today, but chart quantity special and the remainder (in the values area). I changed these both to a stacked bar.
When there is no special data, quantity today- quantity special = the original. When there is, special + remainder = the total.
