This can be done by creating the below calculation, using LOOKUP() function:For now, both July and August are in the view just so you can see that July's data for Quantity now lives in August's 'date', as shown above.  But, we don't want to have to select two month's data at a time and yet, two month's of data MUST be in the view. somehow. 

So, we then change the Order Date filter that you originally had into again, a Relative Date filter, again displaying only most recent two months, as I did before:

Then, the question remains, how to show just the current month, but only with last month's data in the current month.  Again, another filter.  BTW, both of these are Table Calculations, so certain fields must be in the view somewhere in order for them to all function correctly and display correctly.  The new calculation will now filter the above result to only the last row in the view:

As to it being automatic and adjusting for next month, it should based on the Relative Date filter..it would automatically adjust to September and pick up August's data. And so on.

Javier, unfortunatelly the aliases are not passed to the calculated fields, so you would need to edit the alias in your calculated field:

Your best option, is to create a customer* field:

CASE [Customer]
WHEN "Albertsons" THEN "Classic Member"
WHEN "BevMo!" THEN "Plus Member"
WHEN "Kroger" THEN "Premier Member"
WHEN "Safeway" THEN "Non-Member"
WHEN "Target" THEN "Digital Self-Service Buyer"
WHEN "Walmart" THEN "Advisor-Assited Client"
ELSE [Customer]
END

Then replace references: 

and finally you are good to go:

I think you can do that without a parameter action. Just use a global filter on customer name so the map only shows the selected customers. Then add a dashboard filter action so when you click on one or more customers in the filtered list, the map is filtered. TWBX attached. 

Hi @Himal Singh

, 

If your data is truly public and the dashboard can be published for anyone to see, you can use Tableau Public. This service does not have any kind of authentication, so anything published (reports and datasoources) can be accessed by anyone. 

It may be an issue with the colored symbols. The default black symbols are visible though.

I understand, so you could create an underlying text box that essentially says 'Start by filtering in the filter selection pane to the right' and/or have a distinct starting value that is always selected as a starting point.   

We don't know what you're actually working with, but those would be some options to consider.  If you have the link to the idea, could you post it in this thread so that others can upvote it?

 I understand that your goal is to align the "▼" or "▲" symbols vertically.

While I am not sure if this completely meets all your requirements, here is a method you can try:

1.  Create separate calculated fields for the values before and after the symbol

• Example 1 (For Numerical Value): A calculation that displays -33.0
• Example 2 (For Symbol & Rate): A calculation that displays ▼-7.3%

2. Split the placeholder into two fixed values

Create two dummy fields with slightly shifted X-axis coordinates to separate the position of the "Numerical Value" and the "▼ Growth Rate".

• Example 1 (For Numerical Value): placeholder_1 $\rightarrow$ Formula: 0
• Example 2 (For Symbol & Rate): placeholder_2 $\rightarrow$ Formula: 0.2 (or a slightly larger value like 1 to place it on the right)

Place both on the Columns shelf as a Dual Axis:

Place AVG(placeholder_1) and AVG(placeholder_2) side-by-side on the Columns shelf, then set the second one to Dual Axis.

Edit both axes and set a Fixed Range (e.g., -1 to 1).

 (Note: Using SUM on the Columns shelf can cause positions to shift depending on data row counts, so AVG is recommended. Changing placeholder to AVG only controls the layout position and will not affect the actual values displayed in your text marks.) 

3. Adjust the layout (text alignment) on each Marks Card

• placeholder_1 (Left Axis / Numerical Value):
  • Place only the "Numerical Value" into the Text mark.
  • Set alignment to Right (so numbers expand to the left).
• placeholder_2 (Right Axis / Symbol & Rate):
  • Place only the "▲/▼ Growth Rate" into the Text mark (do not include the numerical value).
  • Set alignment to Left (so "▼" starts at the fixed 0.2 line and expands to the right).

If the text overlaps at 0.2, please adjust the dummy value as needed. Note that changing the value might automatically reset the fixed axis range back to "Automatic," so if that happens, please re-edit the axis range to "Fixed." 

 In my test, setting placeholder_2 to 

1.1 and fixing the axis range from -1 to 2

 worked very well.   

Hi Danh, 

Good catch mentioning the MIN(0) workaround — that's likely the real cause here, not a Server bug. 

Why it happens: With MIN(0), the subtitle is just a text label on a hidden dummy mark, not a true axis property. If a filter or RLS reduces the data for that pane to zero rows (or the underlying calc returns NULL), Tableau simply has nothing to plot — so the label silently disappears. Your main title stays because it's likely a straight parameter reference, not dependent on a mark being drawn.

Common triggers:

• The subtitle calc (Actual/Prior/Growth) returns NULL once rows are filtered/RLS-restricted
• RLS often behaves like a context filter, which can affect even FIXED LOD calcs
• "Growth" especially needs a prior period — if that period gets filtered out, there's nothing to compare

How to confirm:

Reproduce the same filter/RLS condition in Desktop. If the subtitle disappears there too, it confirms it's a data issue, not a Server rendering bug. 

Fixes to try:

1. Wrap the subtitle calc in ZN()/IFNULL() so it always returns a value
2. Check if your filters/RLS are set as context filters — this can break FIXED LOD assumptions
3. Make sure the field driving the MIN(0) mark always has at least one row, regardless of filter/RLS state
4. Alternatively, skip MIN(0) and insert the calculated field directly into the worksheet title — titles aren't tied to marks being drawn, so this failure mode goes away entirely

Try it in Desktop first — that'll tell you which fix is needed.
