Find count in blended source

Alexander Mik Dec 3, 2018 1:54 AM

Hi,

I have 2 graphs; one where it show revenu over years and one graph where it shows revenu based on a detailed number. This number is only relevant when 1 product is selected. So it should show 1 graph when nothing is selected and the other when a selection in products is made. This worked, but now I have a blended source where my product master list comes from and because of the blend my previous formula isn't working any more. I have no other option then to use the blend unfortunately.

this was my previous formula:

TOTAL( COUNTD( [Book Serie] ) ) = SUM( { FIXED : COUNTD( [Book Serie] )})

THEN

null

ELSE

sum([Rev Books BL])

END

That Book Serie field is now in the blended source and the revenue field is in the primary source.

Hope you guys can help me!

Best regards,

Paul

I am keep getting the error that the data can't be blended with the other source, even though the calculation is valid..

Hi, Alexander,
You can create a tableau packaged workbook with dummy data (manually type in some data in excel) and upload the .twbx here.

Please create an sample extract and share the twbx file with both sources so that it will be easier to help. If that is not possible then replicate your situation with the help of another dataset and share the file.

CountD doesn't work with blended data sources and there are various limitation of using LOD along with blended data sources. Therefore in order to provide some solution/workaround we need your data/twbx.
