#TableauTipTuesday: How to Show KPIs & Sparklines in the Same Graph Sample data set - data.world/vizwiz/sample-stoc... Download the workbook here - www.vizwiz.com/2015/09/kpisan...
Hi Andy, I have converted measure to discrete measure and dragged at rows field. Once I dragged at row field the discrete measure value has splitted into different months instead of one value, even for sparklines also. In columns I kept date in month format.
Really nice detail introduction! Thanks! Question, if I have a general Date which longer than my [Sales]'s date, how could I fetch the date of first non-zero data in my [Sales]? Try to create a first non-zero date, let's say Start Date, then build a 3,6,9 month interval from the Start Date, finally find the max value of that interval and highlight. Thanks a lot.
Great video, creating one table seems to work great when all the metrics are uniform like stock data and not pre-aggregated. Any idea how this could be done against multiple metrics that are pivoted into two columns (Metric name|Metric Value) but a mix of pre-aggregated and non aggregated data such as Total Social Followers on a specific day and Sum(Sales)?
Hi Andy, thanks so much for these videos, all of them very useful. I am trying to apply your method to my particular case; however, the KPI calculations for each graph show two panes. It seems Tableau is splitting the chart into two. The first pane shows Null in the KPI column along with the line chart with prior data. The second pane shows the KPI value along with a dot that represents the value of the KPI in another chart. I hope this makes sense. I am using lookup function to find the value that I am looking for (which is already an aggregated variable). This is how my Lookup function looks like LOOKUP(IIF(ATTR([cf_fyear])=ATTR([cf_current year]), [cf_turnover rate type], null). [cf_turnover rate type] is a calculated variable. is this causing that the chart splits into two? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hello great video! I was wondering how would the calculation look like if I wanted to use a count distinct on a dimension for last week volume? Getting aggregate errrors
Thanks, Andy, for your video showing how to create KPIs and Sparklines in the same graph. NOW, I want to turn my % change from last time period column into a horizontal bar graph with positive or negative percentages on the X-axis, so when people click on the "% change..." sorter you get a nice Pareto chart next to the sparkline with ranges from most positive to most negative. I can almost do it: When I make % change continuous and put it next to the header in the columns shelf, I get a second chart to the left of the sparkline with % change in the x-axis, but my results are weird: say, when % change is -10%, it shows a vertical bar at -10% instead of a horizontal bar extending from zero to -%10. I can't figure out how to tell Tableau I want a horizontal bar chart at that point. Any ideas?
Hi Andy, Thank you for the video. It was very informative. Is there a video that says how to color code those KPIs in the table? For example If I need to color code Last week Volume green if it above a certain value and red if it is below a certain value, will I be able to do that? Thanks in advance.
windows function is my key to the project currently working on. after almost 2 weeks struggle I have reached the right video. Awesome. Thank you:) I need to have bar graph and sparkline in same sheet for the same measure is this achievable.
Can I have a follow up question? I want to conditionally color format the percentage change or add another indicator column with colored up and down arrow, is that doable?
Hey Andy, this seems useful for showing a single KPI (Volume) - any way to replicate the same view for multiple KPIs? Only way I can think of is to repeat all of the calculated fields, for each Measure, on separate sheets and combine.
Great video! What if I want to show an "Actual" and a "Target" column? The problem is, I have a single field containing all the values and a second field that identifies if the value is "Actual" or "Target". I am trying to use the "EXCLUDE" function but it is giving me a headache since the results are ATTR and they are not compatible with the function. Is there a workaround to avoid transforming my data?
Assuming you have a column named "Actual/Target", create two calculated fields. One will be something like IF Actual/Target = Target THEN Value END. And then another calc for Actual. This would then results in two columns instead of one and you could then compare those.
Hi Andy, Is it possible with % change, on a month by month basis, have the numbers change either red or green to show a positive move or negative move. Also is it possible to plot a benchmark with the % change being relative to the benchmark?
I don't know why I'm finding Tableau functions harder to pickup than both Excel and R - in those programs you wouldn't need two sum functions (window_sum, sum) and both a null and a 0 in one formula. Guess I just need more practice, but the functions themselves don't seem very intuitive just yet.
Thanks @@vizwiz . I was able to achieve it using your idea of AVG(0) public.tableau.com/profile/naveen.reddy#!/vizhome/Logic-SparklinesLineChart-DisplayLabelsattheendandDisplayKPItotherightofSparkline/SparklinesDisplayColumnontheRight I still have one small issue, which I am not able to figure it out. I have this text alignment issue where the FIRST and LAST value columns are lining (aligning) up with the Sparkline chart first and last value. I am unable control the alignment of these columns that are left and right to that of Sparkline chart. Any suggestions on it.
@@vizwiz Hi Andy.. This dataset is with Stock data. I use Tableau public and I recently started using Tableau. It didn't come with stock data. Wondering if you could upload the dataset pls. ( Thanks in advance
@@udayabanunagarajan5401 Sorry about that! I've just uploaded it here - data.world/vizwiz/sample-stock-prices Also, if you download a workbook from Tableau Public, you can unzip it and the data will be there.
Hi Andy, can you please tell us how to calculate daily change? In my dataset there are weekends and holidays & hence I cant use Max Date - 1. There has to a better way to find the previous date with data. Thanks
