How to use COUNTIF in Tableau

0 votes

What I have? I am having a simple COUNTIF task in Excel

This is the data:

ID   Metric   Scope   DynamicCalc
1    A1       TRUE    X
1    B1       FALSE   X
2    B1       TRUE    X
2    A1       FALSE   X
2    C1       FALSE   X
 

What I want?

I am facing issues in replicating the same COUNTIF task in tableau.The column 'DynamicCalc' should have the following values when Metric=A1 is selected: TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE but in case B1 is selected it would be FALSE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE... so basically I want to assign a value of TRUE to the DynamicColumn if there is at least one TRUE in the Scope column to all rows for that ID.

You can use the following LOD Expression to retrieve your desired result. Try using a calculated field like below:

{FIXED [ID],[Metric]:MAX(if [Scope]='TRUE' then 'True' else 'False' end)}

When the Selection is B1 :

Use this lod expression:

{FIXED [ID],[Metric]:MAX(if [Scope]='TRUE' then 'True' else 'False' end)

If you're using tableau version 9 or above, you can use different LOD expressions to achieve this.

You can use LOD expression for this purpose. LOD Expressions provide a way to easily compute aggregations that are not at the level of detail of the visualization. You can then integrate those values within visualizations in arbitrary ways.

There are three types of LOD expressions. 

Fixed - FIXED level of detail expressions compute a value using the specified dimensions, without reference to the dimensions in the view.

Include - INCLUDE level of detail expressions compute values using the specified dimensions in addition to whatever dimensions are in the view.

Exclude - EXCLUDE level of detail expressions declare dimensions to omit from the view level of detail

I'll give you a brief idea on how to create LOD Expression:

  1. Select Analysis Create Calculated Field.

  2. In the Calculation editor that opens, do the following:

    • Name the calculation, Sales Per Customer.

    • Enter the following LOD expression:

      { INCLUDE [Customer Name] : SUM([Sales]) }

  3. When finished, click OK.

    The newly created LOD expression is added to the Data pane, under Measures.
