Hello!
I am visualizing survey data and have a question for the group. I have a dataset where each row = 1 survey submission, and each submission has been given a weight. How can I apply this weight in Tableau? (I do not need to calculate a weighted average--the weight has already been provided.) My colleague can easily apply this in SPSS, but I'm not finding a way to do this in Tableau and am not as statistics savvy. My issue is the same as this person's but I haven't yet found a solution in the forums when people ask about this: https://community.tableau.com/s/question/0D54T00000C5wTESAZ/using-weighted-data-for-all-analysis-by-a-predefined-weight-column
Hi @Russ Cantrell , thanks so much for the response. I managed to find what I needed in this article (Steve Wexler, of course!) For anyone trying to use a predetermined weight field in Tableau I highly recommend checking this resource out. Because my data is pivoted I ended up using:
SUM({ FIXED [ID] : MIN([Weight])})
