Really appreciate your content and how you present information/concepts in an easy to understand way. Keep up the fine work!
I came for LOD knowledge and left with much more. Thank you so much Tim!
Thanks for including ACTUAL EXAMPLES of how it's used. Love this.
Thank Tim! The context you provide is SUPER helpful. I appreciate it.
You are a super clear and structured teacher! Thanks!
Found this gem now, still appreciated for your gold content
This the best explanation of LOD out there. I wish I had been able to watch this a year ago when I was trying to learn this...
thanks a lot! Actually I used tableau couple of years ago on a daily basis at work and now decided to go back to it, and your videos are on very high level and add a lot even to a daily user in the past :))
I have watch other videos explaining fixed LOD and yours has the best explanation. Thank you
That was amazingly good! Tim, mate you are the best!
Your channel is great. Thank you so much. You are a wonderful instructor.
Most awaited video...thank you Tim !
Thank you, Tim! I'm aiming to take the the Tableau Specialist Desktop Certification exam by May and these videos are a great help. I appreciate the clear editing, comments, and easy follow through. :)
How did you do?
Thank you Tim for the amazing explanation of concepts ..
you r doing a great job Tim..! Keep em coming!
Really nice description and clear delivery.
Truly grateful for your thorough explanations, and thoughtful presentations. You are on my TH-cam Dial🙂 for Tableau questions and trainings.
Awesome video! Thank you Tim!!
You are very clear in your explanations. Subscribe button smashed!
Thanks for detailed explanation & sources for going indepth analysis of topics
Thanks you man, this topic is good to keep understanding, always.
I need to watch this at least 3 more times before I really get it but this is such a great explanation!
Thank you so much for the great explanation; it's very helpful and elaborative.
Love your videos very informative.
Superb Explanation!!
Great video man. Something about the way you and SqlBelle do videos that makes it easier to grasp.
You are amazing! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, Tim!
Very good explanation. Thank you.
Clear explanation, thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
Excellent Videos
Thank for sharing..!!
Thank you 🦋
Thank you for such informative videos. Can you please suggest from where we can practice the questions for LOD and various others?
Great video, and I hope you got to watch that Line of Duty episode! 🤣🤣🤣
thanks
Definetely subscribed. Very detailed and clear explanations
Hi have you used the conditional formatting of tables in different situations. Can you come out and tell me the ways
Google Datastudio doesnt have LEVEL of Detail calculation, nor Rank() function. Thanks for this video
I have values for Jan-Dec. I want to identify the month value with the max, so I feel like I need to FIX my date parameter to ignore LOD (so it evaluates each month against the year range) but I cannot get this work. Either I am making this harder than it needs to be or Tableau is. How do I calculate the month with the highest total in that year? I.e. in Superstore data which month in the current year has the highest monthly total?
Hi Tim,
this great content and i am new to tableau
Do you have any videos on "calculate difference between two rows ". this is mainly required to prepare Financial statements in tableau.
Not related to this video but you want to look for 'tableau quick table calculations' I touch on this here th-cam.com/video/8IySMkx4n4I/w-d-xo.html but you can just use a quick table calculation to do the difference for you see this guide: help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/calculations_tablecalculations_quick.htm
At 18:20 I'm doing the same thing except noticing that some entries have a count of 2 (appreciate this is a year after this was first posted). I'm seeing that order ID CA-2019-123625 has two rows of product name Acco Glide Clips and two rows of Hand-Finished Solid Wood Document Frame. Each have different quantities.
I can only guess it's how the data has been collected (maybe the customer added 5 Acco Glide Clips and then realised they wanted 7 in total. Instead of updating the existing one to a quantity of 7, they added another Acco Glide Clips separately to the same order with a quantity of 2).
Different data. The data sets across different versions of Tableau are slightly different they started changing them after this video was made. I didn't know this at the time but something to be aware of.
Hi Tim, I have a quick question-I have a calculation field which is total amount/total number of account and there is a filter A. Right now when I change the filter A both the numerator and denominator would change value. My goal is to not let the filter apply on the denominator and let it only apply on the numerator. Is there any way to do this? Any insights would be appreciated!
You’re on the video to fix that problem. Create an LOD at each level and the filters shouldn’t affect it. Please watch the video I recommend called order of operations.
Hello! Can you tell how to show only one (last) value of "percent difference" result (quick table calculation) when we use data filter with single value. When we put data filter, it also filters the whole table and leave only one row. So, Tableau can't calculate the percent difference for only one row. The aim is to create dashboard where user will choose one date and the value of percent difference changes. Thanks!
Tableau can do that calculation but im not clear i understand your example. Are you asking for the percent difference from a specific date?
One quick question: How do you highlight the text with arrows and rectangle boxes. What is the tool name
It’s in the description. th-cam.com/video/BzNeBaFzUVE/w-d-xo.html
hi man can you help me create a rolling cohort retention curve, also the tricky part is I want a dashboard where we can change the cohort from weekly to monthly and then roll that cohort weekly.
What would you expect to happen if you were showing the monthly view but rolling up the weekly cohorts, the moving calculation would be average the weekly scores which is technically not quite right .
What I liked-simplicity, what I didn't like-you never showed how finally context filters helped us get the right answer
I can’t recall the moment but apologies. Try it. See what happens. For context I don’t script my videos so occasionally I do forget small things I said I would do. If I scripted them it would take far longer, most of my videos about 95% are just me hitting record with a dataset I grabbed 20 minutes prior and sharing what I know. For more structure you’d need a course on udemy or something paid. This is free and on TH-cam.
@@TableauTim Thanks Tim...even if it's free you are really being so helpful to people like us who can't afford fancy expensive courses just to be able to learn a skill and grab a job obviously because we're jobless at that moment.
So, thanks...please take the feedback positively and keep working for us.
@@kanikasuneja7777 Thank you for that note! Appreciate the thought and time you took to reply. I can always do better and we'll get there eventually.
😵💫😵💫😵💫
How does this work with dates and using tableau server
It works everywhere. Server has no impact on this feature. It works exactly as you’d expect with dates. Make sure you fix at the right level of dates for example to find the first date a customer bought an item, you say fixed at the customer column, min date.
@@TableauTim thank you. This only works in obtain only dates, how would it work if am trying to obtain not the second date but a user who previously scanned a specific item ID not the current user who scanned that same item ID?
Just adapt the calculation and fix it to the item Id
you put all other Tableau videos on TH-cam to shame.
Great explanation...I still don't get it...
Which part? the easiets way to thnk of it is that its like making a calculation and remembering the values to use later on. You make a calculation at the level you need and then tableau remembers the values even if you do another calculation on the same sheet.
