Thanks for your point of view, Andy, but the chart you made actually misrepresents the data behind it. It would be great to add a few steps and as a result get a real proportion of east, west and both regions order count from this type of chart. And that would be the hardest part
Hi Andy, I wanted to do a similar analysis to show how many customers purchased on both channels. I was wondering if there's a better visualization for this scenario. Venn diagram is very straightforward for sure, but Tableau doesn't seem friendly to make it.
Thanks for a great tip. I had hoped to get the real proportion but nonetheless it will be a useful visualisation of the overlap. But I'm stuck at a really silly point. At 1:37 you say "I'm just gonna drag the view down a bit so we can see it a bit better". Mine won't drag. What would be stopping it? I can do the steps that come afterwards.
I did it by grabbing the very bottom edge of the view. In this case, that's the bottom of the x-axis. If you can't drag that, perhaps your view is set to either fit height or fit entire view. You wouldn't be able to resize the height by dragging in those cases.
@@vizwiz Thanks for your quick reply Andy. It's definitely set to Standard. I can drag it up but not down.These little things drive me crazy! Thanks for trying to help.
When we drag the calculation from measure to dimension and then change it to continuous what change does this make? ( When it is in measure it shows the sum of all 1's and 2's. Is it this way? )
That’s correct. A measure will aggregate the data. If it’s a continuous dimension, the view will be split by those values instead of aggregated. Making it continuous turns it into an axis (green).

I completely agree. Unfortunately I don’t know of a way to do that in Tableau.
Thanks for the video Andy, how can we interpret calculation of combinedPucrhases if we want to draw venn diagram for 4 regions all together.

Hi Andy! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I was wondering the possibility of building a Venn Diagram with more intersections what do you think?
I would think it’s possible but I’m not convinced it would be worth the effort.
