Edit Set not possible?

Dani Schmid Sep 18, 2012 9:20 AM

Hi,

in the attached workbook I have created a set by selecting points on the map, right click, Create Set...

This set (Set 1) is not editable, i.e. right click on the set does not provide the edit option. If we create the same set through right clicking Wells on the filter shelf and "Create Set...", then I get a set (Set 2) that I can edit. Is this a bug or a feature? It is important for me that the set creating through selection on the map works.

Cheers,

Dani

Hi Dani,

This is as designed. When creating the set from the selection points, it only contains those points. You can filter on those points selected.

Thanks.
I would still argue that edit of such sets should be allowed. Like this one could graphically select the bulk and then do the fine selection (adding or subtracting elements) through an edit. This way one could also select elements that happen to have empty coordinate values but useful plot information otherwise (see for example http://community.tableau.com/message/186394). Especially if one has many datapoints such an edit possibility would be important.
Cheers,
Dani
