      @theanalystsplaybook Рік тому

      Hey Hem. I'm not sure what you mean exactly. What do you mean by "does not work properly"? The process will fail if the query does not successfully run. If you notice that you are not receiving a message to Slack, then you would revisit the scheduled query and troubleshoot the failing query. BigQuery gives you a lot of indicators for why a query is failing.

    It’s a great video I have one question Suppose if I have more than 100 columns and I wanted to have same thing which you have shown in the video, how can I achieve? One more thing instead of having 3 parameters, can we have 1 parameter with multi select of dimensions

    • @theanalystsplaybook
      @theanalystsplaybook Рік тому

      I believe Tableau has a limit on the number of columns you can have in a table. A quick Google search would be able to check that. Also, a table with 100 columns wouldn't be readable so you'd be better off building it using SQL as a view or using something like dbt, and then making it accessible within the database to end-users. Yes, you could go with 1 parameter which allows you to switch between dimensions. This is the classic approach. My method is a bit more advanced. Thanks for the questions. -Justin

    is there any way to select a cohort automatically for every conversion? I mean some way to represent correct retention for every recur without selecting right cohorts manually

    • @theanalystsplaybook
      @theanalystsplaybook 2 роки тому

      Hey Kateryna. Yes, you could do this by working backwards and starting with a retention curve which includes all available data, and then segmenting the lines by the relevant cohort grouping (signup month for example). This will result in a multi-line graph where each line represents a cohort. The issue is that such views can be difficult to read sometimes, and may create confusion since not all cohorts will be equal in age.

Since it's a table calculation, you aren't going to be able to do any additional manipulation like running sum etc on top of it. If you expand on your question, I'll try and help.

      @@devanshbhardwaj5955 To build such a cohort table you need to create a calculated field which uses the datediff and IF functions in Tableau. You create custom buckets of X days (between 0 and 6 equals 1 would be the first bucket of 7 days, 7 - 13 would be the second bucket etc) and then set the calculated field as a dimension. When you place the field on the columns you will get columns for each bucket like shown in my video. You then need a date field for the rows, and then can use either countd for absolute values, or countd/window_max to calculate percentages.

      @@stayriddi5094 The formula I used to create the columns in the table is made up of datediff and fixed. Calculated field #1: {fixed user_id: min(event_created_at)} --> This gives you the first event performed by the user. Calculated field #2: datediff('week',CALCULATED FIELD #1,event_created_at) --> This gives you the number of weeks between the first event and the current event. You'll then turn this into a dimension and add it to the columns shelf. You then use countd(user_id)/window_max(countd(user_id) for your values. This will give you the percentage of the users which did activity in the given cell, compared to the total # of users. I'll just add that this is a tough concept to grasp and you're better off trying to understand the approach first before trying to build it. Try it first on paper or in excel and once you grasp it, building it in Tableau isn't too difficult. Good luck. -Justin

    • @theanalystsplaybook
      @theanalystsplaybook 3 роки тому

      Hey Hanna. Unfortunately you can't do that using the fixed function. You'll first need to rank the orders per customer which you'll need to do outside of Tableau. Once you've added the rank as a new column, you could then use fixed, rank and datediff to calculate time between first order and 2nd, 3rd, 4th order etc. This is a tricky one. The hardest part is adding the rank. If you're using the super store data set then you may need to import it into a database so you could then run some SQL on it. Might be able to do it in Excel but I'm not familiar with ranking in Excel, it's been a long time since I did that.
