Does anyone know an easy way to highlight duplicate fields? I have a lot of data and am trying to identify duplicates in one particular field? Thanks.

Early alert for customer churn?

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Sun, 15 May 2016 01:11:34 GMT

I'm trying to develop an early alert report for customers who might lapse. My database consists of millions of lines of customer orders (date, customer ID, product purchased, value, etc.). Can anyone suggest how I might create an average customer buying cycle and then an alert if that cycle is breached by a tolerance level?

So for example, if a customer places one order per week on average over the last 12 month and then does not order for 3 weeks in a row an alert is triggered? The idea would be to separate customer into daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly to reflect their buying patterns. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Percentages on waterfall charts?

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 16:51:28 GMT

I have created a waterfall chart for a particular dimension with the row total at the end. I'm trying to have a corresponding waterfall chart to this with percentages where the row total is 100% and the component parts of the chart show their values. Any ideas?

How to highlight inactive customers?

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 01:17:31 GMT

Hi, Does anyone have a way of highlighting inactive or lapsed customer accounts in hundreds of thousands of lines of sales data over 5 years? Each line of data has the transaction date, customer name and what they've purchased. Lapsed is defined as have not had account activity for the most recent rolling three month period. Thanks.

Linking Tableau with Powerpoint!

You can link graphs from Excel into Powerpoint such that any update in Excel can be reflected in Powerpoint easily. Does Tableau have any such facility to auto update charts that have been pasted into Powerpoint?
