You can use other fields, but you will need to make sure they are there for your selected dimensions. If you want to use this then I would suggest using data densification techniques.
Hi thanks a lot for this immersive tutorial.. I am trying to adapt this to my context, but I am trying to understand how to replace the ship mode.... I will have one circle each for my tenure, which is region in ur case.. And the filled circle metric is profit margin %... but I am struggling to understand the path bit... what to replace ship mode with...
Labels on a chart will be very hard, you will have to use a tab calculation to identify a specific point in the path to show the labels. With these types of visualisations, tooltips really are the best solution.
You should be able to adjust this using the distance calculation, have a play around with this calculation and see if you can get what you are looking for.
Terrific tutorial. You make it seem so simple! I have used this and I have different "goals" for each thermometer. Since it is a % chart, all the totals need to get to 100%, but it's misleading if one category has a goal of 4=100%, and another category has a goal of 35=100%. When the category with only a goal of 4 meets that goal, the thermometer is completely full. It looks like they performed a lot more work than the category with a goal of 35, even though that category completed 7 things. (4/4=100%, but 7/35=20%) Is there any way to show different sized thermometers on the same chart? So maybe 100% is the total of the LARGEST thermometer, and the container for each thermometer is only a fraction of the largest? Can we still use the simple path you defined to accomplish this?
Hey there, what do you mean by comma? Did you follow the calculations as it was set in the video? Please paste your calculation here and I will have a look.
If you provide data set to follow along your tutorial you will have more audience in your channel, otherwise the audience will move to other videos that gives dataset.
Hi, the data set link is available in a later video. There is a section on exploring the data and a link to the original data sources and csv file is there.
I will add this to my backlog. Rounded Bar Charts with Sigmoid curves is pretty cool. My next set of videos will be Creating Bespoke Templates and will go very deep into this type of visualisation, so I think you would enjoy it. Do subscribe to be notified.
I have been using Tableau for a very long time, and I have accumulated a number of neat techniques over the years. I lead with that because this may be the single greatest Tableau tutorial video I have ever seen. The delivery is patient, smooth, and even includes a bit of humor. The outcome is simply gorgeous and absolutely delivers the desired effect. Thank you for creating this!
This is gold! I can't believe it takes this much work and formatting in Tableau to get such a visual. Really wish Tableau would make things a little easier...but fantastic work. On TC_Sales and TC_Total Sales, why did you divide by 2? Also, aren't they the same calculation? More explanation on these two calculated fields would really help with my understanding. Thanks!
I have the same doubt , but I think since he is joining based on calculated field called 1 in the data source page , there because of 0 and 360 values in path table , we get double values for each segment ( we get two values because of join ) one with path as 0 and other with path as 360. I think that is why he is dividing by 2. I'm not 100% sure though
Thank you for your video. Have a question, I followed everything you did, but when I tried to edit table calculation for X and Y, there's no 'Alternate' for choosing, I really don't understand why this happened.
I added the path variable with values 0 and 360 manually in my data since the rows were less It came in the data same as yours but on dragging X and Y into columns and rows and then compute using path(bins) my x axis did not change. Its still starts from 0. Could you help as to what am i doing wrong?
