data update time

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Wed, 29 Mar 2017 09:01:17 GMT

Where does the data update time come from? ( http://onlinehelp.tableausoftware.com/v7.0/pro/online/en-us/printing_results_pagesetup_titlecaption.html) Description of what I was talking about, it is listed in the first bullet point.

It is used in our workbook's title to show when the data was last updated. Our problem is, that the data update time it displays is wrong, as the time listed is hours into the future. I am wonder where tableau gets this time, and how it can be corrected. Is it from tableau itself, or from a computer or server we are using thats clock is not correctly set, or is the source of this problem from somewhere else?

How to edit a Calulated Field

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 20:51:50 GMT

I have a calculated field I would like to edit, but Tableau will not let me edit it, how can I overcome this? It will not let me delete it either. It will only let me edit a copy of it, which is fine, but cluters up the measure with fields I do not need. I have attahced a picture below showing this.

Calculate month's projection?

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 05:04:27 GMT

Hi,

So I have data on the number of bills recieved each day, and have it veiwed to see how many bills were recieved by month

I would like to create calculations in tableau that allow me to view a projection of the total number of bills recieved during the current month. If it could be done it a way where I have a moving average of the past 30 day to predict what the current months number of bills will be. I want this to work so when the next days data is added in the prediction updates.

Or if you can offer a different style of making a monthly prediction and will take the lastest data to make the prediction that may work out.

Thanks,
