Week 12: Can you do Comparative Quantity Analysis?

Introduction

Welcome to another week. Hard to believe we’re already at our 12th workout this year. I’ve been participating in these workouts since Andy started them with Emma WAY back in 2017 (ya know, like a decade ago 😀 ) Anyway, one thing I really enjoyed back then was the hyper-focused challenges on a particular technical aspect of Tableau. In honor of those challenges, I created my own. 

This year we’ve had several table calc-focused challenges and everyone knows and loves the FIXED LoD expressions. But what about FIXED’s cousins INCLUDE & EXCLUDE? Where’s their love? They need just it just every other function…so let’s give them the spotlight. 

You can complete this challenge however you like but just DON’T USE A FIXED LOD

Requirements

  • Dashboard Size: 1000px by 650 px
  • # of Sheets – 1
  • Create a side-by-side bar chart by Subcategory
    • Total average sales by subcategory inclusive of manufacturer
    • Variance between Subcategory value and Selected Subcategory value 
  • Create an interaction to click a Subcategory
  • Match tooltips, pay attention 🙂

And remember: No FIXED LOD
