Boston

Hi all,

Around October 2016 I was speaking with BTUG members, and they brought up an app that allows you to export the calculations behind all of the fields in a workbook.  I've checked through my notes, and helpfully only wrote "Tableau App".  Google is also not helping.  Does anyone have an idea of what this was, whether it's what was mentioned before or another way you have of pulling together calculations?

The underlying goal is to be able to see what data is being used in what workbook, so that if we have a change on field A, we know we'll have to update Calculation 3 which references field A.

Thanks for any brainstorming ideas you may have!

Hi Anthony - just saw the note about the next TUG. Are these going to be held at 2pm going forward or will they alternate between a during work and post work schedule?

Thanks for all you do with the TUG!!

I am trying to add new columns to a worksheet to do a simple difference calculation but am having issues.  Let's say I have 100 rows of data and 4 columns across the top.  The rows are the investment name, the columns are the fund name, and the sum data are % returns.  I am trying to add new columns that show the difference between each fund.  Any ideas?  It is difficult to do this with the raw data before pulling into Tableau.

For instance:

Thank you!

Investment Name     Fund A     Fund B     Fund C     Fund D                    Difference between Fund A and Fund B...etc

ABC Corp                    2%          1%          3.5%          .57%

CBA Corp                     1%          1%          3.5%          .27%

BBB Corp                      2%          1%          4.5%          .37%

DCA Corp                      3%          1%          2.5%          .57%
