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 hope someone can help with a problem I’m facing. I’m pretty new to Data Validation using Custom Formulas so I’d appreciate your guidance. I hope I have explained the situation clearly. Thanks.
I want to use data validation in cell B1 (Portfolio Tab) which creates a drop down list of the number of columns (1 to 44). I want to use the list as a way to sort a table (Column Headers - C3:AT4).
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qunKbFGNzzGU9lNCPFow8igkR_gaPudmanTK-WM43mA/edit#gid=58173089
By selecting 1 from the drop down list I want my table to be sorted in Descending order by Portfolio%. Then if I want to sort by Name in Descending order I want to select 3 from the drop down list. Finally once I’m done sorting I want to revert back/reset to my original view. I want to do this without changing anything in columns A and B. Please assist. Thank You.

solution 1:
forget dropdown and use filter view inmerge row 3 & 4
delete row 1 & 4
select your range C2:AT
and creatte filter view
now you can sort one, multiple or all columns like:
solution 2:
create a duplicate of your sheet:
delete your range C3:AT
use this in C3:
=QUERY({Portfolio!C3:AT}, "order by Col"&B1&" desc", 2)
solution 3:
use sorting script... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/google-apps-script+sorting
I have a google sheet and I'm trying to validate my data properly. I need to input a value in Column G.
Conditions:
If column F is B2 to P3, the Quantity must be less than the B2 quantity.
If Column F is P3 to B2, the quantity must be less than the P3 quantity.
Attached is the google sheet. I'd really appreciate the help.

Yes, the data validation rule based on condition of one column with different category of value from different column can be solved by using a helper column within the sheet or other sheet:
First, create a If statement with arrayformula (within current sheet or other reference sheet)
=arrayformula(IF(F2:F="B2 to P3",I2:I,H2:H))
Second, create the data validation rule based on the value of the Helper value as following then it is working as per your expectation:
I have a workbook where I have displayed a table where the user can view the top 3 IDs based on a column they can select from a dropdown (Measure A, Measure B, ... , Measure H):
Now, instead of this, I want to add a separate column called Sorting Criterion to the table that would store the column names with which the respective rows of the table was sorted. So, the expected output is something like this:
How do I do this? I'm open to using Tableau Prep Builder, if needed, for intermediate steps that may be too convoluted for Tableau Desktop.
Create a calculated field that just contains the Sort By parameter. Add this calculated field to your view.
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 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.
