Hi All

I am looking to learn Tableau desktop from the ground up to be able to do advanced data analytics and visualizations specifically as it relates to financial time-series data used in the investment management industry.

 

Does Tableau conduct any training and grant certifications? If so can someone guide me how to go about obtaining training and certifications, cost etc.? There are quite a few third party training providers but I am ideally looking for training and certifications provided by Tableau itself.

 

Any recommendations/suggestions will be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hemang

    Hi, you can take a look of:

    https://www.tableau.com/learn/certification

     

    And there is a special training for Data Analyst:

    https://www.tableau.com/learn/training/data-analyst-certification-prep

     

    If this post resolves the question, would you be so kind to "Select as Best"?. This will help other users find the same answer/resolution and help community keep track of answered questions. Thank you.

Hi All,

 

I need help from respected members of this community.

 

I have to make one report where one column have to take values from another excel. This other excel have some %values based on days of month(1-31) as rows and Countries as column. I need to us the % in this excel in my tableau report based on the date on filter. I have filter with daily, monthly and yearly for date part. For this filter i have used below calculation.

 

IF  [Parameters].[Grnularity]='Yearly' THEN DATETRUNC('year',[Issuance Time])

ELSEIF [Parameters].[Grnularity]='Monthly' THEN DATETRUNC('month',[Issuance Time])

ELSEIF [Parameters].[Grnularity]='Daily' THEN DATETRUNC('day',[Issuance Time])

END

 

Here Issuance Time is the DateTime part of existing datasource.

Column that i need in my tableau report is as below:

 

Colum Heading: Previous Month WeightedCalculation: Previous month vol * appropriate weights

appropriate weight is the % values that i have to fetch from other excel that i have mentioned initially. I am attaching sample for the excel from where i need to pick value for the above calculation.

And also how can i get previous month vloume?

 

Any help would me much appreciated..

    Hi Pawan,

     

    One option would be to use blending to join the two data sets. Have you come across blending before? It's a bit like a left outer join (in join terms). Data from the secondary data source is aggregated which imposes some limitations, but it can also be handy. I've attached / described an example which may be similar to yours below, and included a link to the data blending info. Take a look and post back if it helps or not. If you including a sample workbook people will be able to get their teeth into any specific problems you're hitting with your data.

     

    Ta,Steve.

     

    Data blending: Blend Your Data - Tableau

     

    Example:

     

    I used category instead of country but have a similar look up of % to your screenshot.

    Hi Pawan, One option would be to use blending to join the two data sets. Have you come across blending before? It's a bit like a left outer join (in join terms).

     

    I added this spreadsheet as an extra data source as well as using sample superstore. I also pivoted the data above so that I have a row per day of month and category. That way I can define a relationship between the two data sources as follows:

     

    pastedImage_3.png

     

    Then I can build the view out as follows:

     

    pastedImage_4.png

     

    With a [Factored Sales] calc of: SUM([Sales]) * MIN([Sheet1 (day-product-perc-lookup)].[Perc])

     

    Meaning that we see the sales factored by the relevant percentage in our look up sheet as illustrated for Furniture on 3/01/2018; 10% of sales of $1,593 is $159.

     

    NB: The use of MIN when pulling in the percentage is just because we have to use an aggregation; the data is setup so that there should only be one record matching at any time anyway so the aggregation you pick is irrelevant.

     

    I've attached the workbook I used in case it helps. Let us know!

I'm looking to create a calendar which displays all of the days of the month in a calendar view. A user would be able to click on the calendar once to select a 'Start Date'. If the user clicks again on another date that is after that first date, that second date is added as the "End Date'. If the second click is a date that precedes the first date, then that second click will become the new "Start Date".

 

Is it possible to create one single calendar view filter that can control two different fields/parameters 

Many websites have a calendar like this to easily allow the user to select two date ranges. I am curious how can I create something similar.

 

Thank you!

 

See attachment for sample workbook, and picture of what I am thinking of if the above description did not make sense.

The attached workbook has been made with random data to demonstrate the issue. Whichever fruit has been selected (via a parameter) displays as an outlined circle, whereas all other fruit appear as filled circles. I would like to display an annotation on whichever fruit is selected. That would mean the annotation needs move to the correct item whenever the selection is changed. I have no idea how to do this. Note, the dual axis is already in use displaying some other info, so I can't use that as a workaround.

 

Below are some images that may help explaining the functionality I want:

 

Annotation on selected item:How do I annotate a changing mark?

User changes the selected item via parameter (annotation appears on the newly selected item):

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks!

    I don't believe the annotation can be truly dynamic in the way that you are hoping. You can, however, use a label on the text mark that will be dynamic and will only label the selected mark (open circle). I mocked up the following. If you think this will work, then please read on.

     

    I don't believe the annotation can be truly dynamic in the way that you are hoping.

     

    Create three different calcs, each of them ensuring that the fruit in the viz matches the fruit in the parameter. If it does, then show the label and if it does not, then yield a null:

     

    @Label Selected Fruit 

    IF [Fruit] = [Select fruit] THEN [Fruit]

    ELSE NULL

    END

     

    @Label SomeXValue

    IF [Fruit] = [Select fruit] THEN 'someXvalue: ' + STR(INT([someXvalue]))

    ELSE NULL

    END

     

    @Label SomeYValue

    IF [Fruit] = [Select fruit] THEN 'someYvalue: ' + STR(INT([someYvalue]))

    ELSE NULL

    END

     

    Add those to the marks card on the shape axis. I knocked down the opacity on the color a bit as well. Now, that label will only appear on the mark in the parameter.

     

    Attached is a workbook. Let me know if this helps 😄 .

     

    Thanks,

Hi Friends,

 

This is my first post because I've typically been able to find a similar post for all the issues I've run into, but I cannot find a solution for this one.

 

I am attempting to use the degree unicode character in an axis and data label (ex. 120º) in this tableau public workbook (attached and linked):

 

Tableau Public

 

The character shows up with an underline under the symbol.

 

Unicode character formatting issue in Tableau Public (temperature degree symbol)

 

I have attempted three different ways to solve this:

  1. I used Alt + 0 to get the symbol
  2. I copied from a text editor
  3. I copied a number format I found online (#,##0"º";-#,##0"º")

 

In each of these scenarios, it shows up like this. Any thoughts?

    Josh,

    You can replace your label calculation with

     

    STR( IIF(MAX([Current Month Temp]) = WINDOW_MAX(MAX([Current Month Temp])),MAX([Current Month Temp]),NULL) ) + '°'

     

    ALT-248  to get the degree symbol

There are many questions about learning path for Tableau. The best way is learning by doing. There are many community initiatives/ weekly(monthy) social projects to learn and train viz techicues. Let me start with:

 

  1. Makeover Monday | A weekly social data project
  2. Workout Wednesday – ⌗WorkoutWednesday
  3. Sport wiz Sunday - data.world
  4. Project Health Viz https://vizzendata.com/2018/05/24/projecthealthviz-a-new-social-data-initiative/
  5. ⌗SWDchallenge — storytelling with data

 

Do you know any others? Advanced Tableu Masters: what is your experience with such intiatives? Is is worth?

Hello everyone.

 

I know there are many post regarding how we practice for Tableau certification.

 

As I am new to Tableau and I found that I am somehow restricted to use cases which I have in my organization.

 

Can anyone suggest me how can I practice different use case and do practice for certification.

 

Please give links, if any.

Join us as we continue our series on getting Tableau Fit. We'll be walking through another ⌗WorkoutWednesday exercise as a group. Interested in participating? Bring your laptop, copy of Tableau Public and get ready to work out. We'll be using your input from past TUGs to determine the workout and post a follow-up announcement so you can participate beforehand! You're encouraged to participate to get bragging rights and sweet Tableau swag.

We'll also pick up where we left off from March's meeting. Justin Hinckfoot will take to the podium to talk about how he puts Data Governance in action. You'll hear about how he approached consolidating a large number of data sources and automated the process along the way. Sure to be interesting, we're moving from the theoretical of Data Governance to the possible.

Did you solve a problem using Tableau or are you just super enthusiastic about the tool? We're looking for volunteers to speak and do hands-on demonstrations. Have an idea for a topic? Raise your hand and let's make it happen!
