How to filter by multiple criteria? For example, I want to select columns A = USA & columns B = 20210325，I hope the answer is accompanied by a functional icon.
You can use the Advanced Filter to do this.
Add two conditions for the two columns in Advanced Filter and click Filter.

I want to create two filters in one SlickGrid Table. One will have "input field" based filter where i should be able to put expression, i.e. value > 10 which will give me the results greater than 10 values. The second filter will be the excel like filter where it should be able to list all the values from the first filter result and once user select some values it should show those selected values as result.
Basically, looking for combining result of two filters.
I do have some examples as mentions below
http://mleibman.github.io/SlickGrid/examples/example-header-row.html
http://danny-sg.github.io/slickgrid-spreadsheet-plugins/examples/example-2-everything.htm
Looking into combining above two filters in one table.
Is it possible to write two filters in one table using SlickGrid? Let me know how to achieve the same.
I am new to Tableau and I am trying to filter the results in one sheet based on a selection made in another worksheet. Below, I provide a basic outline of the problem in general terms.
Suppose I have a Sheet A and I filter on dimensions C1 and C2. Based on this I get 10 rows of my data (the original data is 100 rows, suppose). Now, I want to display only the values corresponding to these 10 rows in another worksheet B but filtered on a column C3 (not the original columns C1 and C2), i.e., I want to select the 10 different values in Column C3 and show results in sheet B corresponding to these values.
I tried Filter Action but it seems I can create filters based on the filters I have chosen on Sheet A, i.e., C1 and C2. How can I create a filter corresponding to column C3?
Thanks for your help. Please let me know if the question is too general or not clear.
I didn't totally understand your question but will try to help with whatever I understood.
You can create a filter for Column 3 in the second sheet and when you use action filter in Sheet 1 in dashboard it shows the data based on the action filter and also the filter for Column 3 set for sheet 2.
You can also use parameter.Firstly create a parameter for column3. Create a calculated field using that parameter and use the calculated field as input for the graph or table you create in sheet 2.
Refer these links for calculated fields and parameter:

I'm working on a tool to help my team identify changes in some data files. Long story short, i managed to put something together (I'm quite the beginner with powerquery and M) that works well but it lacks user friendliness.
Issue is that not all team members need the tool to check for differences in all columns (different people, different interests). In order to manage this i used the following to remove all the unneeded columns before doing the compare:
= Table.RemoveColumns(myTable,{"col1","col2","col3"... etc
This works but if you want to change the configuration you need to go into the code and modify the list.
My question is the following: Is there any way to integrate a dynamic list into this code? i.e. have that list of columns in an easy to use table, "tick/untick" the ones you want and have the code remove the rest?
If your intent is to allow the user to select columns without entering the query editor then you may benefit from using a parameter table as described here: http://www.excelguru.ca/blog/2014/11/26/building-a-parameter-table-for-power-query/ . You should be able to expose a 2colxNrow table to the user with some predefined column names/numbers. You can use data validation to constrain user inputs to a binary on/off behavior ( https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Apply-data-validation-to-cells-29fecbcc-d1b9-42c1-9d76-eff3ce5f7249 ).
( P.S. Based on the your description of your goals Inquire add-in may alread offer the functionality you are looking for )
Probably the easiest way is to use "Choose Columns" on the Home tab in the Query Editor and then rename the generated step like:
#"CHOOSE COLUMNS HERE ----->" = Table.SelectColumns(Source,{"Column1", "Column2", "Column3", "Column5", "Column7", "Column8", "Column9", "Column10"})
Then when you want to adjust the selected columns, you can press the small wheel to which the arrow is pointing, and a popup will show up from which you can do your (un)ticking.
Alternatively, if you use multiple queries with the same selection, you can create an additional query that outputs a list, like:
let
Source = Table.FromList(List.Transform({1..10}, each "Column" & Text.From(_)),null,{"Available Columns"}),
Transposed = Table.Transpose(Source),
#"CHOOSE COLUMNS HERE ----->" = Table.SelectColumns(Transposed,{"Column2", "Column3", "Column5", "Column6", "Column8", "Column9", "Column10"}),
TransposedBack = Table.Transpose(#"CHOOSE COLUMNS HERE ----->"),
ConvertedToList = TransposedBack[Column1]
in
ConvertedToList
And then use that list in your queries, like:
= Table.SelectColumns(#"Transposed Table",SelectedColumns)
where SelectedColumns is the name of the query with the selected columns.
It is hard to describe my question in the subject line. Here is an example.
I want Tableau to run query to show only Account ID that has both 2 products i selected in Product A quick filter.In this example only the second Account ID should qualify . Is this possible?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Hmm, good question. It is not possible in the way you want (at least I can't think of a way to do that), with quick filters.
I can solve your specific problem (filtering customers that have at least 2 specific products in their history), but expanding for variable n products can be really troublesome.
So first thing, create 2 parameters. Product1 and Product2. Each is a string, and you can get a list from the [Product A] field. You will use this 2 parameters to specify the 2 products you want.
Now create a calculated field, [Product flag]:
IF [Product A] = [Product1] OR [Product A] = [Product2]
THEN 1
END
Now drag [Account ID] to the filters shelf. Open the filter options and go to condition. Now select By field, [Product flag], Sum, = 2
That will work if there are not duplicated [Product A] under the same [Account ID]. If that can happen, you need a little bit more sophisticated approach. [Product Flag] becomes:
IF [Product A] = [Product1]
THEN 1
ELSEIF [Product A] = [Product2]
THEN 2
END
And the condition should be Count (Distinct) = 2
In both cases it will keep only the Account IDs that have both the products you selected under them. They can have other products under them.
EDIT: For the N product problem, I believe you're going to use a solution outside Tableau. One possibility is to use the JS API, so you can select the products you need in a JS interface, and pass a parameter to Tableau.
In JS you could have a list you could select as many items you want, and a script to pass a parameter to Tableau based on the selection. Could be something like: product1,product2,product3...
Then you could use CONTAINS() to see if that product is in that list (and raise a flag), and make a count of ',' to see how many products were selected.
Unfortunately I have very limited knowledge on JS API, but I strong encourage you to take a look
Really interesting question. It's surprisingly trickier to list the accounts that reference every product in a list than it is to list the accounts that reference any product in a list.
If you are willing to start with a less convenient user interface (suitable for ad-hoc analysis but not published dashboards) then try the following:
Create a filter based on Account Id, select Use all on the General tab, and By formula on the Condition tab. Enter the formula
Count(if [Product A] = "Business Office Consolidation" then 1 end) > 0 and Count(if [Product A] = "Cabled Barcode Scanner" then 1 end) > 0
This will only filter to only include Account IDs that reference both products. You can extend this to a list of any number of required products. For relational data sources, it is implemented using a HAVING clause.
Of course, it can be tedious to revise this formula by hand, but it is one way to accomplish your analysis goal, and it can be instructive to understand how filter conditions work. Similar formulas are useful for many conditions.
You can create one or more dynamic sets using the same approach and then use them in calculated fields, any shelf in Tableau and combine them to create new sets. You can also move the formula to a calculated field for convenience.
Note, the 1 in the formula is not significant, any non-null value would work. Since there is no else clause, the formula evaluates to null for rows that fail the if test. And the Count() function just counts the number of rows that have non-null values for the expression.
To come up with an approach that lets you easily select products from a list without editing a formula, will probably take some combination of more advanced features. I don't have an answer for you right now, but the features that are worth learning about that may or may not be part of the solution include filter actions, context filters, top filters, count distinct, custom SQL, computed sets, table calculations, LOD expressions and the Javascript API. This would also be a good questions to pose, with an example workbook, on the Tableau online forums at http://www.tableau.com under the Support menu.
I have a matrix that has a group filtered at the matrix level. I can't filter the SQL because it is very large and is used all over my report.
I need to be able to specify the columns to display after the filter is applied.
The end filter would look something like this
if ColumnA[value] IN Test1,Test2,Test3 OR ColumnB[name]
As you can see I want a value string filter and make sure ColumnB get displayed at all times.
Or being able to specify the columns to show in the matrix would work also.
You can filter at the dataset level: see here for more detail.
To filter a tablix, go into Tablix Properties and open up the Filters tab. You can write a Boolean expression (must evaluate to TRUE for the record to come into the Tablix) to do the filtering there.
I ended up using a tablix and creating columns for each column I wanted to display and rows for each row item. I then used a Count(IIF()) statement to match the specific item I needed to calculate for that cell. I wanted to use the matrix so it would not be so long winded but in the end I got the job done. I have since used this method on many occasions.
