I have 6 data sources in my tableau worksheet. Every data source has it's own "cust_id" and "old_new_cm" columns. I want to create a view where I add "cust_id" from 1st data source, and apply "old" filter on "old_new_cm" column from 1st data source itself.
Now I want to be able to add "cust_id" from 2nd data source, apply "old" filter on "old_new_cm" column from 2nd data source, and so on.
I am trying to create a view like this..
I am unable to do this. Can someone help me please?

I am currently a college student who was trying to make a dynamic google sheet where my data is organized. The premise is as follows:
I input raw data into one spread sheet titled "Raw Data"
That data from raw data is automatically sorted by date using the SORT function to keep it dynamically updated.
If an item in the organized data is checked, then the row turns gray and updates into a corresponding chart.
My problem is that as I add or edit data, the checkbox is stuck to the row. In the first picture, you see the normal data as is.

However, lets say I add a due date for an assignment on 1/31/23. Then this happens.

So overall, my question is how can I lock a checkbox to a specific row so if the row is moved, the checkbox moves with it? If it is needed, I have a public link to the spreadsheet if it helps understand the problem:
Public Spreadsheet 1/31 for Clarification
I currently tried several data validation rules but most of them simply locked the cell from being edited if it was checked.
I also tried modifying the RAW data and adding a checkbox there before the sort function refreshes but that negates the point of the sheet at all then.
I was not sure how else to go about it trying to lock it into that place. Also, I was not sure how to upload as a MARKDOWN text table so I figured an image would suffice for the problem.

We are filling Point 1 - 4 manually. The data in A,B,C is sorted through C and will change every now and then. The problem I am noticing now is that A,B,C is moving. But D:G will stay in the same column.
We want to use this file to fill in the data since its our main file. So using the initial =query to also take into account D:G is not an option.
Would there be any other way to "link" D:G to the corresponding values in A:C?
Looking at your sheet I noticed you try a VLOOKUP formula.
Please try the following formula
=INDEX(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1:A;Blad1!A2:I;{6\7\8\9};0)))
Of course your approach would cause problems. You're trying to map manual data to some data that is bound to change. You can't expect the manual data to move or change in sync when the imported data changes.
You could probably make it work at least if the imported data does not change in order, and instead gets any new data appended. Even then, it doesn't help you if any of the imported rows gets deleted.
There are only two ways I could see to make this work:
Map your manual data as part of the original sheet where your other data is imported from. In other words, make D:G part of the source of A:C, if possible. This is the best approach. Works even when some imported rows get deleted or changed.
Don't sort A:C at source. Simply append new rows, and import as is. Keep your Blad1 sheet as the local source sheet, and add your manual data to D:G here. Then create a new sheet for sorting or do any other thing you'd like, and use this new sheet to feed your Blad2 sheet. This doesn't work if some of the imported rows get deleted or changed.
I am creating a sheet for our homebrew RPG.
I'm importing a range of data (spell list) in the character sheet, via IMPORTRANGE.
I'm using a True/False checkbox to add the line to a table in another sheet.
=IFERROR(QUERY(DataSorts!$A$3:$Q$1001;"select " &IF($E$15;"C";"B")& " where (A=TRUE)");"")
I want to use the imported datas as a table WITH the checkboxes column, so my players could filter or classify their data. The checkboxes need not to be on the original spell list so any player could have their own selected ones.
I need to Import the data as the original spell list is expanding and I need to update it regularly.
However, if I update my original sheet comporting the speel list, any add or substract of row will break the checkbox usage (because they wont move where the imported data will, thus the spells selected won't stay the same).
How can I link these 2 parameters ?
Use an index to keep the order in the imported data SS, and then perform the combined VLOOKUP+IMPORTRANGE.
Im trying to make the data that I sort using a filter function stay static in the cells that is is sorted in. I have had this problem a few times and have tried looking it up on Youtube but it seems to be more of an advanced question.
For example when I filter a row of data from one sheet to the next. It is not static data, meaning when I delete the data on the new sheet it stays there until I delete the data on the master sheet.
Please few my example spreadsheet here.

Any formula (like FILTER) can only process source data. It is linked to the source data permanently. Think of it as a mirror of the source data (and think of changes the formula makes to the source data as a funhouse mirror). You cannot have formula results that you change manually.
If you want a copy of the original data that you can change (and that will no longer be linked to the original data at all), then just select the range containing the original data, Copy it and Paste it to the new location.
If you need some kind of link or updating when the source data changes, or you want the ability to change the source data when you update the copy you made, this requires writing custom scripts. It cannot be done with formulas.
I have a google spreadsheet which have some columns of data written through a python script. At the end of the last data column I have added three more columns manually and data for those three columns would be entered manually. Python script would run daily, thus updating the data in the spreadsheet. My issue is whenever I run the script to update the data, the data in the last three manual columns gets jumbled. This is because the order of the data returned by the sql query from the script is different everytime. We can use order by to keep the order same but if new rows are added or the existing rows are deleted from the db then this would also not work.
As stated in this related thread, I think it's an expected behavior because the imported data is dynamic and the data you are adding are static.
The idea is that you don't add any columns to the Sheet that receives the imported data as this data is dynamic.
You need to create a new Sheet and select the data from the Sheet that has the imported data.
The Notes Sheet will need you to select the imported data by the order number in this case. The other columns of data will then be extracted from the ImportedData Sheet using the =vlookup() function and displayed and then you would enter the required note for that record.
