I have a tableau dashboard that looks like below 

 

How to compute ratio of a specific cell within a table

My objective is to do the below 

 

a) Compute the % of "Oneill Ltd" (from product family column) that makes up the total sales including other product family values 

 

b) I want to store that ratio output in a seperate calculated field. 

 

When I tried the tableau inbuilt feature table calculation, it is computing the ratio for all rows (which I don't want). I want to now the ratio/percentage of "Oneill ltd" only

    Hi, 

    I may still not fully understand what you’re trying to achieve, but are the values shown in the Sample diagram what you’re referring to? 

    For checking purposes, I’ve displayed each value as well. 

     

    Since the processing is done with an LOD calculation, please be aware that if you need any filter operations, you’ll have to use a Context Filter.

 I’m working on an HVAC website and trying to improve its local visibility. I’ve already focused on the website structure and service-area pages, but I’m curious which factors usually make the biggest difference for Local Pack rankings—Google Business Profile optimization, reviews, citations, or local backlinks?

I use Tableau Desktop 2023.3 to create a dashboard with multiple charts; the data source is a plain text file containing over 100 million rows. The process of generating the necessary extract (Hyper file) completes successfully. 

I have a free Tableau Public account, and the dashboard publishes without any issues. 

I would like to understand what is happening or how Tableau works, because recently, the data from the text file (the original source) was loaded into a SQL Server 2022 table and aggregated so that it now contains just over 20 million records. I created the corresponding new extract (Hyper file), but when attempting to publish it to Tableau Public, I receive an error message stating that the extract exceeds the maximum limit of 15 million rows.

    @Roberto Barranco technically, you should not have been able to publish the original dashboard to Tableau Public with a file size greater than 15 million rows of data, to begin with; regardless of data source type.

      

     

    So, I'm not sure how that was accomplished, perhaps a fluke?  Tableau Public has had that 15M row limitation for a very long time. 

     

    As we know, things change over the years and Tableau Public is no exception.  It's possible that when it was originally published, the version when it was published somehow allowed it to happen.  But now, with newer versioning, tighter controls are likely reinforcing the limitation better.

Does anyone have a standard NoSQL database they prefer working with when using Tableau? We are moving away from SQL for our project. Is there a specific NoSQL vendor that plays particularly well with Tableau’s data model without needing constant manual effort?

    I’d be interested to hear what others have tried here. We’re looking at moving away from SQL too, and the Tableau side of things is something I’d want to get right before choosing a database. Any recommendations from people who’ve actually used one with Tableau?

    Hi Himshikha - good news that it works for you and your colleagues; that tells us the RLS logic itself is sound and it is now down to just that one user. When a single follower sees blank/error while everyone else is fine, it is almost always one of two things - and the blank-vs-error distinction tells you which: 

     

    1) An ERROR (red banner / cannot load the metric) is usually a data source PERMISSION issue, not RLS at all. This is the number-one gotcha: adding someone as a Pulse follower does NOT grant them access to the published data source the metric is built on. That one rep needs at least View (and typically Connect) permission on the underlying published data source, plus a site role that allows it (a licensed Viewer/Explorer, not Unlicensed). Grant her access to the data source and the error should clear. 

     

    2) A truly BLANK metric (loads fine, just no numbers) is an RLS entitlement MISMATCH - her Tableau identity does not exactly match the value your user filter compares against. USERNAME() returns her Tableau Cloud sign-in identity (usually the full email), and the match is exact and case-sensitive. So if your Territory Owner / entitlement value is her display name, an old email, a different domain, or has a stray space or different capitalization, the filter returns zero rows for her - blank. Her name showing in Tableau is not enough; the value in the DATA has to equal her USERNAME() character-for-character. 

     

    Fast way to tell them apart and pinpoint it: open the published data source (or the workbook) as the owner, drop USERNAME() and your Territory Owner field side by side on a sheet, then use the 'View As / filter as user' option to impersonate her. You will immediately see whether her USERNAME() finds a matching row (a data/mapping problem = blank) or whether it throws a permission error (an access problem). That one check usually settles which of the two it is. 

     

    Diego's advanced-definition idea is good as well, but that is a newer Pulse capability still rolling out - your data-source user-filter approach is the right one to get working now. 

     

    If this helps, please mark it as the Best Answer so it helps the next person - thanks :)

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some help with a Tableau dashboard I’m building. I’ve attached screenshots of my current worksheets and the dashboard layout.

 

I have

multiple athletes displayed on the same dashboard, and each athlete has their own position filter. For example, Athlete 1 could be benchmarked as a GS while Athlete 2 could be benchmarked as a GA.

 

For each statistic, I want the athlete’s

AVG/Q to automatically colour:

  • 🟢 Green = above their selected position’s League Avg/Q
  • 🟡 Yellow = equal to the League Avg/Q
  • 🔴 Red = below the League Avg/Q

The main issue is that the athlete AVG/Q and League Avg/Q are on separate worksheets. I need the position selection to change the League Avg/Q benchmark, but I don’t want it to filter the athlete’s own statistics, as their AVG/Q should remain their total for the match.

 

I also need each athlete’s position selection to work

independently. Changing Athlete 1 from GS to GA, for example, shouldn’t change the benchmark selected for Athlete 2.

I need this to work across multiple stats such as CPR/Q, Feeds/Q, Assists/Q, Gains/Q, etc.

 

What would be the best way to set this up in Tableau so the conditional colouring works correctly?

Thanks for any help!

    I would suggest that you attach your packaged workbook (twbx) so that any solution suggested is relevant and works for you.

Hello all, 

 

Having an issue transferring my workbooks from my old computer (2019 MBP Intel) to my new one (2024 M4). 

 

I use the Singlestore connectors and on my old device and it works fine (with the driver I have downloaded) 

 

I downloaded the default one from the Tableau website for the new computer and it is not working (continues to say its out of date) and the link to github is from 2021. 

 

I have tried various workarounds but cannot get them to work properly. I have several questions: 

 

1) Is there a simple way to see what driver Tableau is using for the old device? Or at least confirm the folder location of said driver I have several downloaded and they are in different spots so its hard for me to know exactly which one it is utilizing. Perhaps I can then just transfer that driver to my new device. 

 

2) I did have success with the Singlestore JDBC driver BUT that will require me to reconnect all my connections (both direct and custom SQL) which will take a long time for all my deployments. Is there a simple way to switch those connections from Singlestore to Singlestore JDBC that isn't just a full swap 

 

3) Is there a possibility that a MySQL driver will do the trick?  

 

Appreciate any responses in advance! Hopefully what I outlined makes some sense.

    SingleStore JDBC is the way to go. 

    The ODBC driver is for x86 (Intel) only -- no way to run it on Apple Silicon after macOS 27+.

Hi I have one issue to filter my KPIs and table as well. 

 

I need to filter by % change and I use the field itself, this option has one drowback now, cause some combinations of DUNS and Local Nr have no tunover so there is no % change. this will be filtered out by default so I set it as all values. in this case I see such records but moving the slider they need to be filtered out as well. Second issue is the calculation in KPI. the quick filter has no effect. When % change is above -50 there should be 1 DUNS and 6 817 819 as Allocation in the KPIs.  why is that and how to filter the KPIs and table properly

    You would have to create a LOD calculation and use it as a dimension filter to get the desired result. However, You should not use a hierarchy since the dimensions are fixed in the LOD calculation.You would have to create a LOD calculation and use it as a dimension filter to get the desired result.

Litify + Tableau + Salesforce

I’m trying to pull information from Intakes and Matters and connect the two using a join, but I can’t seem to find the correct key/field to link them.

I reached out to Tableau Support, and they told me I would need to use SQL to pull the Matter information and that I wouldn’t be able to use joins.

Has anyone else run into this issue or found a way to connect Intakes and Matters in Tableau?

Any advice on which fields/keys to use would be greatly appreciated!
