I need your help in customizing my tableau dashboard.
My data table in excel looks like this:
Year Actual Target
2012 12 15
2013 20 23
2014 23 25
In my tableau dashboard, I want the user to select/input just the year and in return, I want to display the corresponding values. For example, if the user selects Year=2013, then I want to display the actual(20) and Target(23) values to the corresponding year in Tableau Dashboard.
So far, I could only manage to get the year in the input field, but unable to return values corresponding to it.
In short, this is what I want to achieve.
It's very simple. You drag the [Actual] and [Target] fields, and drop them on Rows. Then select both, right-click and select discrete. This way Tableau will understand you don't want a continuous graphic, rather you want to display discrete values.
I strongly recommend you watch the video tutorials. I don't know if they explain exactly this feature, but it's very basic stuff, and you should be able to discover it yourself if you understand the basics

I am looking for some help in regards to writing a variable for a Pie Chart on my dashboard. I currently have the following variable for a KPI chart and this shows the latest weeks value but has the flexibility to change if a different week is selected.
=Sum({<week_date ={">=$(=Weekstart(max(week_date)))<=$(=Weekend(max(week_date)))"}>}total_calls)
Now for my pie chart, I want to show the different type of work that has been worked on during the week and this is through the 'source' column which has the following types. This will be my dimension(slice).
SOURCE
Calls
Email
Offline
The measure will show the number of 'touches' and is then displayed as a %. This works if I put the fields in, but I would like to write a variable so that it is dynamic but not sure how I do that.
Would appreciate any advice on how to move this forward.
UPDATES
I have the following values for the latest week (week ending) 21/02/2020:
Calls | 8,477
Email | 4,040
Offline | 9,052
and would like to show this in a Pie Chart. Currently I have managed to write the following definition:
=Sum({<[w_c.week_date] ={">=$(=Weekstart(max([w_c.week_date])))<=$(=Weekend(max([w_c.week_date])))"}>}[w_c.touches])
but I get a total instead of the individual sums for the Sources even though I have selected the SOURCE as the DIMENSION.
SOURCE | $(vVariable)
Calls | 21,569
Email | 21, 569
Offline | 21,569
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
I have added my table view as well as how I am able to get the figures manually if I select the source and week_date column as the dimension and the touches as the measure. If I filter for the latest week it shows me the volumes I want, but I would like this to work dynamically through the use of a variable. I have attached an image showing this, numbers will be different to the above as these have been updated.
I have managed to fix this by removing the "=" from my expression and this gave me the correct individual figures.
=Sum({<[w_c.week_date] =
to
Sum({<[w_c.week_date] = ...
I am looking to add a weekly filter onto my Qlik dashboard to allow me to change the weekly data that is displayed on my dashboard. My original idea works well as I wanted to display the latest weeks data and compare this to the previous weeks and this gives me exactly what I want.
To enhance this and give the dashboard a bit more flexibility and just in case someone wanted to look at a different week, I thought it might be a good idea to add a weekly filter but the way I have built the dashboard won't allow me to do this. The following is an example of what I have:
In my database table I have a rank column (latest_week_rank) where the latest weekending (i.e. Mon 13th to Sun 19th Jan) has a value of 1 and the 2nd latest week would be 2 etc. I have then written the following code in my data tab:
latest_week = 1;
previous_week = 2;
I have then written the following which is then called within a Multi KPI:
vOrdersWTD =Sum({<latest_week_rank = {$(latest_week)}>} total_orders)
This is obviously where the problem lies as having the weekly filter makes no difference as no other weeks show up but I am not sure how I change my code in order to make this all work.
I would really appreciate if somebody could advise on how I can change this around.
Instead of assigning your predetermined variable in set analysis, use the actual field. Something like:
$(=
'Sum({<latest_week_rank = {'
& max(latest_week_rank)+1
& '}>} total_orders'
)
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 want to create a pie chart in Delphi that will show the user the number of people who play a specific sport.
The following SQL statements gets the information from the database and stores the number of people in a variable. The data type in the database is yes/no, so those who play a specific sport will have a tick and those who don't won't. The sql statement will determine how many people play a specific sport (if there is a tick in the database)
qry.sql.clear;
qry.sql.add('SELECT Count(tennis) AS [NoTennis] FROM [Sports] WHERE Tennis = True');
qry.Open;
iTennis := qry['NoTennis']; {integer variable}
This repeats for all the other sports, such as swimming, hockey, etc
Afterwards this data must be represented in the pie chart. I have the following code...
Chart1.Series[0].AddXY(iTennis, 1, 'Tennis', clTeeColor);
This also obviously repeats for all the other sports. But instead of displaying my data during run time, it still displays random data about keyboards and motorists, etc. To see what I am talking about click

How do I get TChart to change it's data? Is it the SQL statement or adding the x and y values that is causing the problem?
You are showing a pie chart. The chart type is relevant how you add data to the chart. I remember thas AddXy was only for line-based chart. Try
Chart1.Series[0].Add(123, 'Tennis');
See steema documentation.
To clear previously generated values of the series, use
Chart1.Series[0].Clear();
I am very new to BO webintelligence.
I am doing a very simple query, retrieve Sales Amount for dates between 2012 and 2013. Just for this simple query when I run it, my BO crashes or gets stuck on "please wait" window. Why is this happening? If I select like 3 or 4 days like between Jan 1st 2012 and Jan 4th 2012, it runs fine. Is there anything from my end that I am doing wrong? This is in production mode.
I also wanted to point out that I have tried limiting my data set for specific region etc.
Too many unknowns to successfully assist. I presume this is webi 3.1.x or 4.1.x and I presume that the Sales Amount is a measure and that your query includes a date which does not include a time component. If you only have these two objects in your results pane and have the region in your conditions then pulling something like [Date] and sum([Sales Amt]) should not take long to execute. As previous poster suggests, try to execute the sql in a tool like SQL*Developer or Management Studio or however the source database / OLAP is stored.
Even though you've limited the data to a "region" this may be too much data. Try selecting a smaller result set of 100 rows or changing the option for "retrieve duplicate rows" on the query panel.
If possible, post the query from your report using generic object names?
