Hello Tableau Community, I am wondering how to create a custom table similar to this:
Where the text in first two columns is manually entered and static and the remaining columns 3-5 are derived using a formula with the underlying data source. Also, the headers in the table are manually entered and static too.
Is this possible in tableau? I know this is more of an excel-type table but it would be really great to be able to do this in tableau so that we can make one dashboard for the client with all the elements needed. Thank you very much for taking the time to read and provide insight!

Hello Sean;
I'll anxiously watch to see what others have to say, however my work with Tableau has shown me that the manual entering of data is difficult. User interaction is usually limited to filters and parameters.
If I understand you correctly, I think your best bet would be an Excel worksheet (or Access form) for the data entry, feeding into Tableau for display,
I'm a flag-waving Tableau user: and while Tableau rocks when it comes to visual analytics, if you're not using this strength, another platform might be a better option.
Good Luck!
