I am trying to make a year-over-year line chart in QuickSight just like in this post. I have (to my knowledge) done the same thing but I have an issue with my chart not "wrapping", see picture below. The week number comes out right as you can see at the right of the x-axis but the x-axis itself doesn't go from 1-52 but rather from 23-52-1-3. I am very new to QuickSight so I don't really understand why this is happening or how to remedy it, do you?
The appropriate field wells look like below and the date variables are made from a "regular" date with the built in truncDate to extract the week numbers. The original post doesn't explain the structure of their field wells unfortunately.
Add a new field called WEEK_NUMBER as follows:
dateDiff(
truncDate('YYYY', {otd_event_date}),
{otd_event_date},
'WK'
)
Then use this new WEEK_NUMBER field in the x axis field well.

I have a line chart in which i am showing the cumulative value of the plan and actual and I have a week slicer in which I have the end of every week.
In the line chart, i would like to show the Actual until the filtered week.
I am not sure if that is possible since the slicer of week name is a specific date and not a range, can anyone help me ?
See attached files in the link below the excel file is how i want to be and the PBIX is how it is now.

I'm doind a chart of warehouse income and outcome but X-Axis is not ordering the date correctly
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Try setting the Sort parameter to you date dimension and use Ascending option for it.
Should look like this:
Here you can find detailed docs for all the chart types used in GDS.
This is my first time using amazon quicksight and I am having trouble creating a calculated measure that brings in sales from the year before the one I am evaluating in each row.
Example:
I am looking for the simile to the function CALCULATE (SUM (SALES), PREVIOUSYEAR ()) of PowerBi
I am afraid this is not a complete solution but hopefully it will put you in the right direction.
I started with the following dataset:
In Quicksight, I prepared my data by calculating the Year and Month fields from the Date field of my dataset. I then defined the following calculated field:
lag(sum(SALES), [Month ASC], 1)
I was then able to get the following result:
As mentioned, this is a partial answer as it doesn't work for May 2019 (it should be null/empty instead of 19). It might be easier to work with dates field rather than Month/Year string fields the way I did. I hope this will be of some help.
I currently have a dataset of speeding fines in NSW.
I've created a bar chart that displays the top 10 frequencies of speeding offenses. These offenses are split up between school zone offenses and normal speeding offenses.
I'm trying to set a parameter control where the end-user can toggle showing the top 10 normal speeding offenses (pink), top 10 school zone offenses (purple) or both together (pink and purple).
I've gotten the below parameter control:
However nothing happens to the bar-chart.
My Dataset looks like the following:
I have a School Zone Indicator boolean that is a Y if the speeding offense occurred during school zone time.
Can someone help me figure out in filtering this out when setting parameter controls?
The answer is based on this article showing how to add all to a parameter in Tableau.
We need to create a parameter with the same values as the field. As your field is either Y or Null let's create a new field to convert the Null to N. Call it isSchool with the formula:
IFNULL([SCHOOL_ZONE_IND],"N")
Create a parameter based on that field with the values Y, N and All. Display As whatever you want, so you can display parameter value All as Show Both if you wish.
Put [isSchool] to filters.
In the filter you want to filter Condition - by Formula. Enter this formula:
IFNULL([isSchool],"1")=IF [YourParam]!="All" THEN [YourParam] ELSE IFNULL([isSchool],"1") END
That should do it.
I have a Telerik report with a graph. The graph's x-axis is a series of dates. Our client would like those dates in order from oldest to most recent. They also want the dates formatted to not include the time portion of the date. I've tried for the past day to get this to work and can't figure it out. Can someone explain how to do this?
I started out with a graph based on this query:
SELECT AnalysisNumber
, convert(varchar, DateSampled, 01) as DateSampled
, ViscosityAt100C
FROM tblSample
ORDER BY a.DateSampled ASC
The results look correct with the dates in order from oldest to most recent:
but a graph is produced where the dates were not in order:
I can't begin to include all the setting for the graph, but here is what I think is the relevant part. Let me know if there's something else I can show you.
Notice the sorting is by DateSampled which is now, of course, text not a date.
If I remove that sorting (to try to preserve the original sorting from the SQL query), the graph no longer works:
So I tried to use a date instead of text. The query is now this:
SELECT AnalysisNumber
, DateSampled
, ViscosityAt100C
FROM tblSample
ORDER BY a.DateSampled ASC
...the output looks the same:
and the graph looks like this:
The dates are sorted the way I want, but all the dates have a time element that I don't want because it's irrelevant and it takes up too much space.
I tried changing the type in SQL:
Cast(DateSampled as Date) as DateSampled
but it still showed the time in the graph.
I tried formatting it using the properties for the x-axis:
but it did not change the formats of the date. In fact, changing to any of the formats in that property did not change anything.
Lastly I tried to include both a string and date in my query:
SELECT AnalysisNumber
, convert(date, DateSampled) as DateSampledText
, DateSampled
, ViscosityAt100C
FROM tblSample
ORDER BY a.DateSampled ASC
and using the DateSampledText to group by and the DateSampled to sort by:
it just ruins my graph again:
I tried adding the text version to sorting and other variations, but never got the graph back to where it was showing data.
Sorting and formatting a graph doesn't sounds like it should be difficult. This was supposed to be one of the final changes before going into production and I've already spent so much time on this. Can someone tell me how to make this work? Thank you!
I believe you need to change the scale of your graph. I think by default it is Category Scale, but when using dates, you would need to change it to DateTime scale.
In your graph properties, where you set the Format of the X-Axis, there should be a property called Scale. Try setting it to DateTime.

The reason you can't format the dates is because the graph is treating them as strings.
You need to change the x axis to be of type DateTime Scale instead of Category Scale. Category scale is the default and is more appropriate for when you are graphing the number of Apples, Oranges, and Pears, for example.
In the standalone report designer the setting is under Presentation Category > Coordinate Systems > cartesiancoordinatesystem1 > X Axis > Scale
..
In addition to changing the scale type, because the scale expression is now not just a string, you also need to set the X value on your line series.
This setting is under Presentation Category > Series > lineseries1 > X
For some unknown reason the setting should not be "=Fields.DateSampledText", but "DateSampledText". The documentation is irritating bare of details like this.
