Aliases/Descriptions for SAP BW based Data Sources

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 11:42:56 GMT

Hi . I'm bringing data from a Multidimensional Source - SAP Bex Query (SAP BW). For some reason the I don't in Tableau the descriptions/text for the Dimensions member value, but only the keys (simply numbers and letters with no assignation to text)

For this particular dimension there are only 4 values and I'd like to assign somehow the aliases to those values. I read in the help section that with Multidimensional sources it's a bit different, so I wonder if anyone could explain me how to do it maybe through MDX?

When I right click on the dimension member I don't have any option to edit aliases. Is there any other way of assigning text/description/aliases to the members' keys/values??

Thanks

Error while publishing HANA based dashboard to Tableau Server

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Wed, 03 Jul 2013 22:04:52 GMT

Hi, I have created a connection from Tableau Desktop to SAP HANA Datasource. I created a dashboard with no issues, but when I try to publish this dashboard to Tableau Server I get error.

there must be something missing on the Tableau Server, but I don't know what. the SAP HANA client was installed on the Server, so all should be ok.

any ideas please?

X axis with custom ranges based on measures

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:25:48 GMT

Hi guys, I'd like to see your opinin on how I can create a chart that you can see in the attached doc.

In the X axis range I need to have a fixed number of ranges based on measure of Spend. 0 to 5K, 5K to 25K, 25K to 100K...etc.

On the Y axis I need to have two bars against each range (current year and future year). and these bars lenght is based on the number of Suppliers who fall within these ranges of spend.

Any ideas? Right now this is done thtough Excel manually, but we are thinking in starting to use Tableau.

Thanks a lot!
