    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, 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!

    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 .

    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.

  • @TableauTim

    @TableauTim

    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.

    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 KZread.

    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.
