wonderful tutorial. i had a situation where I need to display ranks of individual within a team, but display only one individual. I solved it by pre-calculating in Alteryx, but how would that be best done in Tableau?
Hi Sebastian! I think if the parameters for ranking are pretty set, I would be inclined to pre-calculate the ranking as well in the data set. Table calcs can be tricky, especially if you are going to display the data a few different ways. I feel it's simpler to include the values in the data set. Table calcs would be the way to go though if you ever need to recalculate the ranking based on other fields selected in your view.
thanks a lot for such awesome videos. I have learnt a lot from your other videos. I am working as a Tableau Developer. Whenever I watch your videos a learnt something new.
Thanks so much for the video. I watch even when I think I understand the topic and always learn something new through your well prepared and clearly communicated explanations.
First of all. Thank you! When I saw the video title, I was like, what? OOP again? But I watched anyways because you're great and then I really understood the title. It said MASTER OOP and indeed a Master class this is. Second topic is, even with your clear explanations, it's obvious how Tableau some times is not so intuitive OR I'm just not smart enough, that Lookup function and the date and the flow of data and... and... and... Tableau possibilities are infinite but ... I sometimes I feel they are not obvious. What you think?
I agree that some things are not intuitive, especially around table calcs. It takes a while for me to wrap my head around some topics - I usually have to put things in pen and paper to see exactly what's happening. Sometimes, when I think I finally understand the topic, I encounter another scenario that makes me rethink if I did get it, or not really :)
Thank you 🦋. I have a question. (answered my own question, i have to use bars instead of area chart) Can you guide me on how to set up (if possible) a Tableau visualization where a single record contributes to multiple categories in a bar chart? For instance, I want to count Record X in both the 'Red' and 'Yellow' categories within the same chart, based on different criteria. If I had Record X1 and Record X2, this would be easy. I think that a dual-axis chart could be used somehow, but that is more complicated than I want it to be. Example Data: Record X, task attempted, status success Record Y, task attempted, status failed Chart Funnel: Top of Funnel is Red for all tasks attempted Next section is Yellow for all tasks that succeeded When i try to do this with measures, the whole chart turns blue and i can't see different colors for different sections of the funnel, even though the color legend does show multiple colors. I think the issue is that a single record can only be one color in any one chart?
Thanks a ton, Donabel.🙏🏼 I created a mnemonic- extra dash condiment to help me memorize this 😊
Thank you so so much, Sebastian. It's very nice and thoughtful, I very much appreciate it.

Thank you so much for your videos on Tableau , I always search your videos only whenever I need the tableau concept ...Thank you so much
Thanks @sqlbelle mam, it cleared lot of my doubts.
