I'm aware of the sorting function in waterfall, but that seems to sort the items by category and y-axis column.
What I'm hoping to do is sort non- category or y-axis column.
Needs to be organize by the following order:
FY 17 YTD, Revenue , Transport , Services and Delivery, HQ, Dispatch, Duties , GL Admin
Thank you.
Add a column to your source data and populate it with values for the preferred sort order.
Then select the column you want to custom sort and click Modeling > Sort by Column. Select the new column as the SortBy column for the existing column. The SortCategory column is used as the sort order for the Category column.

I am a bit new to Tableau.
I have two columns: DATE and Car Model
I want to create bar graphs for the Top 5 (Count of Car Model) each individual year on the same sheet.
When I select the Top N filter, it selects the overall top 5 models and displays counts for each such model.
However, each year has a different Top 5. I want to be able to get the top for that particular year only.
Can anyone help me with it?
This you can do through function INDEX. Do these steps (I am replicating your problem on sample superstore as you haven't given any data)
I built a view/viz with order date & customer name rows shelf and sum(sales) on columns shelf.
create a calculated field named say INDEX with formula INDEX()
drag this INDEx field to DETAILS on Marks card
right click, edit table calculation and set the following options
-- specific dimensions (check both fields drag to adjust date field prior to second nested field)
-- At the level (select second field name - customer name in my case)
-- restarting at every (select first date field , order date in my case)
-- sort order - CUSTOM - select Sales(Measure) with descending and aggregation as your measure (sum in my case). A screenshot is attached for reference
ctrl + drag INDEX field to Filter and select 1 to 5.
Your desired view is ready
Is there any function or node which will add the number of elements in a set chronologically?
I would like to create a simple line graph of "total number of users" over time, but what I have is "user_email" (unique) and "date_created" for the date the user joined.
What is the easiest way to sum the number of users at any given time from their creation date and plot it in a graph according to time?
I tried searching for this, but didn't find anything related. New to KNIME. Thanks.
If you are sure that user_email only contains unique values, you can sort the table by date_created (if it isn't already sorted) then use a Counter Generation node to add a column containing a counter value.
For a more general solution, if you want to count the cumulative total of unique values in a table column, you can use this sequence:
GroupBy configured to group by the column whose unique values you want to count and to aggregate on the column you want to plot this against - for example, your timestamp column, probably with either the First or Last aggregation method
Sorter to sort on the aggregation column from GroupBy
then Moving Aggregation with the Cumulative computation box checked, and configured to aggregate on Count of the grouped column from GroupBy.
How can I group by based on a pattern in column to calculate the total?
My table has the following columns: CustomerAccount (char30), AccountDesc varchar(200), AccountAmount1 (decimal), AccountAmount2,....., AccountAmount5.
The CustomerAccount is in this format: xxx.xxxx.xxxxx.
Some of the values are:
How do I group the data so any value like xxx.xxxx.31xxx, xxx.xxxx.32xxx, etc is grouped together so I can calculate the AccountAmount like the image below in SSRS report? The highlighted part ranges from 30 to 39:
I am not sure if it would be easier to do it in SQL query, but not sure how.
If your account number is always a fixed length (or more precisely, if the numbers you want to group by are always in the same position) then you can create a row group with the group expression being something like
=MID(Fields!CustomerAccount.Value, 11,2)
If you wanted to group an everything up to that point you could do
=LEFT(Fields!CustomerAccount.Value, 13)
The numbers might be out by one as I can't remember if these are zero or 1 based functions but you'll soon notice that.
I am trying to find a way to use the Group By functionality to create a table where the numerator of a fraction is grouped both by column and row, and the denominator is grouped only by column.
Here's my existing expression:
=Round(Sum(Fields!Days_In_Step.Value)/CountDistinct(Fields!ID.Value),1, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)
When grouped by rows (groupName) and columns (month/year) the numerator (Sum(Fields!Days_In_Step.Value)) gives me good data, but the denominator (CountDistinct(Fields!ID.Value)) is also grouped by row (groupName) and I don't want that.
I have a SQL solution but am trying to do this entire within SSRS expressions, if possible.

Sample Data:
It would look like this. The background is that these groupings are counts of days and the "all" are counts of tickets, so we are trying to see who is sitting on their tickets longer.
Here is a mock-up including a sample data set using a pivot table:
Edit 2
Here is a full sample data set:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rYPMcrLNB-FZN64Fn2-y3FtnM2iQo2VMH7YTdfiVnKM/edit?usp=sharing
I need to group on month as well as year, and I do not want to see "Exclude" in the group rows, however they cannot be filtered out of the tablix without being removed from the overall population, which is required for the denominator.
Your problem is caused by the scoping of aggregate functions. When you use aggregate function they run under the scope where it is placed in the tablix by default. In your case Sum() and CountDistinct() functions are running in both row groups (Owner Group) and column group (Month Group).
Fortunately, you can specify the scope that you want your aggregate function computes the aggregation, simply add the group name in the function:
CountDistinct(Fields!ID.Value,"MonthGroup")
The whole expression is like this:
=Round(Sum(Fields!Days_In_Step.Value)/
CountDistinct(Fields!ID.Value, "MonthGroup"),1, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)
Replace "MonthGroup" by the actual name of your group in columns
group.
This is result using the sample data you provided:
I've used this expression to show you how it is produced:
=Sum(Fields!Days.Value) & "/"
& CountDistinct(Fields!Ticket.Value,"MonthGroup") & "=" &
Sum(Fields!Days.Value)/CountDistinct(Fields!Ticket.Value,"MonthGroup")
Note my column group is named MonthGroup.
UPDATE: Scoping multiple groups in CountDistinct function.
Firstly I am not filtering the dataset, I prefer hide the Exclude rows using the below expression in the Hidden property of the Row Visibility window:
=IIF(Fields!Group.Value="Exclude" OR Fields!Group.Value="-1",true,false)
To count distinct id grouping by Month and Year but not by Group you can create a child group below Month group as you can see below:
My group is called Group2 and I used this expression in the Group on textbox.
=Fields!End_Month.Value & "-" & Fields!End_Year.Value
It will create a group per every Month-Year combination. When you create the group it will be added as a column group so you will have to delete the row so you will be prompted if you want to delete the group and row or delete the row only. Delete only the row leaving the group.
Now the expression you have to use is
=Round(Sum(Fields!Days.Value)/CountDistinct(Fields!ID.Value, "Group2"),1,MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)
Replace Group2 by the name of the created group in your case.
This is the whole recreation of your scenario:
Let me know if this helps.
I am trying to build an access report based on data from multiple different tables within the database.
I have 3 columns which perform calculations, and I am wondering how to put this query together. All 3 columns deal with dates, but calculate them differently.
The first column retrieves the most recent date of action for a userid if the type of action is "B":
select pid, Max(date) as most_recent
from actions
where ref = 'B'
group by pid;
The second column performs a calculation based on 2 fields, one is a date and one is a number in months. I am unsure how to add these two fields so that the number is added to the date as a number of months.
what i have so far is:
select nummonths,Max(lastvisit) from users
the third column I need to select the first date thats in the future for each user (next appointment date), there will be dates before and after this date so its a little difficult:
select uid,date from visits
The code for the last 2 queries needs to be slightly modified, and I was wondering what the best approach would be to join these all together? A type of join?
If you need to build a report with data from the 3 queries, you will need related data to join them. In that case, please send the structure of the tables.
If you need to show 3 lists in one report, you can use subreports: create a new empty report. In design mode, you can add 3 subreports from the toolbox bar. To each of the subreport assign the record source property to the corresponding sql.
regards
I am unsure how to add these two fields so that the number is added to the date as a number of months.
Use the DateAdd() function:
SELECT DateAdd("m", 2, LastVisit) FROM ...
Results in a date two months from the LastVisit date.
