I am trying to replicate the plot below (done with ggplot in R) using Tableau:
However, I can't see how I can subset the plot so it fits the screen using Tableau. Using Tableau, this is what I get:
I've attempted adding the following but it stops plotting the histograms and ends up messier:
Row Divider (Discrete):
INT((INDEX()-1)/(ROUND(SQRT(SIZE()))))
Columns Divider (Discrete):
(INDEX()-1)%(ROUND(SQRT(SIZE())))
How can I achieve the plot in R using Tableau?
P.S.: The datasets are different in case you were wondering why Monday doesn't look the same.
You're on the right path using Row-Column divider, but you need to go some step further using the small multiple technique.
For instance, you need to move WEEKDAY in the detail mark and then, use column and row divider in column and row shelf.
Doing so, you'll also need to right-click on CNT/Ride Id Hash) and compute it with WEEKDAY.
Here's a cool guide by a Tableau Zen master showing how to work with this tecnique: https://www.vizwiz.com/2016/03/tableau-tip-tuesday-how-to-create-small.html

I have made a bar chart which aggregates my data, but is there any way I can split each bar based on the data it is aggregating - similar to how a stacked bar chart would look?
Here is a bad artists impression (thick blue lines mine). The idea is that it's important to know from looking at the graph if I sold 5 at £1, or 1 at £5.
Ideally this would work even if the price for each item is variable, but that is not essential (eg: if there is a 'hack' with hardcoding Apple = 3, I can live with that.)
I'm also fine inputting helper columns etc, within reason, but I would want to be able to easily continue to add things to the list on the left without having to add new helper columns each time (calculated ones are fine, of course.)
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: With thanks to Kin Siang below, I ended up implementing a slightly modified version of their solution, which I am posting here for completeness.
I added a very large (but finite) number of helper columns to the right, with a formula in each cell which would look for the nth occurrence of the item in the main list (wrapped in an iferror to make the unused cells blank).
=iferror(index(FILTER($A:$B,$A:$A=$D2),E$1,2))
Theoretically it could run out of space one day, but I have made it suitably large that this should not be an issue. It has the advantage over the other solution that I do not need to sort or otherwise manipulate the input range and can continue trickling in data to the main list and have the chart automatically update.
Yes, it is possible to display the chart in your case, however need some data transpose in order to do so, let me show you the example with dataset
Assuming this is your original data:
First sort the data by alphabet, and enter this formula in new column
=if(G39="",1,if(G40=G39,I39+1,if(G40<>G39,1)))
Next add new column for categorical purpose, by using concatenate function
="Price"&I40
In the transform data for chart purpose, enter this formula to split all price into different row, different column for different product
=sumifs($H$40:$H$47,$G$40:$G$47,$A41,$J$40:$J$47,B$40)
After that i select stack bar chart and ensure the price in under series, in case in 23 will have some problem to set price at series correctly, you can use 33 data create stack bar chart and update the data range again, it will work also
Here is the cute chart you expected, accept if help :)
*When certain fruit has less price record, it is advised to fill in 0, as the data table need in same column (see the orange price 3), although I didnot test if blank
I need to create a histogram on Google Sheets, and I need it to have a log scale on the x-axis. This is because there are some random high numbers on my column, most numbers are clustered at the beginning.
The option shows up for the y-axis, but not for the x-axis. I think that when I was trying different options it showed up for a time...???? But now it just disappeared.
Please help!
Try normal chart (bar or line) and building a histogram table manually
Use FREQUENCY() formula for this. This way you can make your own classes the way you like and you can then make whatever chart you like.
Take a look at my solution - line chart with logarythmic y-scale.
X-scale as I see is unavailable for manipulation, but you can use own values and treat them as text.
Example dataset: 100 random values from 0 to 35.
Classes are powers of 2 (increase by 1/2 with each step)
Here is my example file. See if it helps

Can you please help me to understand how to build a diagram (smooth line) that is basing on RED values (BLUE category) per GREEN month?
Table in google sheets
I have no idea by this time how to do it - I think diagrams cannot understand multiple values if I just select them separately.
I tried to select individual cells that I need to build diagram for, but it does not work, since it cannot understand that I need to bind the selected cells with months and category names..
The way of doing this would be:
Select the first cell of the series
Insert chart
Select type: smooth line chart
Click on Select data range (button on the right of the Data range input)
Click Add another range and add the other cells one by one, and then click OK
Set Combine ranges to Vertically
And the graph should appear
I have a sheet with a line chart, now I'm trying to do something maybe very simple: I would like to add to this chart a vertical line using a value in a cell.
So I have this line chart
And a cell with the date 2016/01/01, I would like to have a vertical line through all the chart on the cell date
I can't figure out how to do it...
This is a copy of that sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oeiwmeDT8pUVqBQvoE_cqk7mZxxvD5moZr41Vp4IN2I/edit?usp=sharing
I would like to show a vertical line using the "Purchase date"
I had the same problem and created a solution to overcome limitations of Google Sheets charts.
The main idea is to create an additional line in the chart, with only two points, both with the desired date. The value of the first point is 0 and the last has the maximum value of the Y axis. This way, the line always covers the entire height of the chart.
Screenshot of the Chart
Note that it is necessary to add two new values in the X axis (highlighted in blue on the sheet). Don't worry with the fact they are repeated. Google Sheets handles it correctly.
These values can be placed at the beginning of the lists. This way, it is possible to add new values at the end of them.
This solution can be viewed in: "[GoogleSheets] Dinamic Vertical Line in a Chart"
To change position of red line, just select a different value in "Purchase date" (yellow cell).
I made a merge of my first solution with the one suggested by dimo414 and created a new solution with two variations.
In the previous version of the spreadsheet, there were only two points to draw the vertical line.
In the new version, a third point were inserted to show intersection between the line and the real curve. A new column was also created, containing only a label for the new point.
The result is:
Theses changes can be seen in green background in sheets 'Dashboard_v2' and 'Dashboard_v3' of the SpreadSheet.
To determine coordinates of the new point, two approaches were used:
Search Purchase Date directly in the dataset (see sheet 'Dashboard_v2')
If the goal is to highlight only points of intersection that belong to the original dataset, it is just necessary to VLOOKUP() the date in the dataset.
Interpolate the two points immediately smaller and larger than the purchase date (see sheet 'Dashboard_v3')
Given the points [x1,y1], [x2,y2] and a value of x (where x1 <= x <= x2), its possible to find an interpolation point [x,y] with the following formula:
y=(y2-y1)*(x-x1)/(x2-x1)+y1
Although this formula is easy to implement, find the correct points to interpolate is more challenging and requires a bit of creativity.
At first, I thought of using a JS script to make things easier, but decided to use only builtin functions.
By the way, different approaches to find [x1,y1] and [x2,y2] are welcome.
To make things easier to understand, each point coordinate is determined in a different cell (see L2:M5) and the point of intersection is in L6:M7.
Of course, its possible to join all of them in just one cell, but I thought it would be harder to understand.
To close, one more detail: According to above definition, interpolation formula is valid only if (x1 <= x <= x2). Thus, both cells C2 and M6 have protections to limit the value of 'x'.
One way is to add a label to your x-axis.
For example, this is a chart that plots weight against date, with a label "Cheat Day" on 2021-07-21
For the data:
Date
Label
Weight (kg)
Weight Goal (kg)
2021-07-19
83.85
75
2021-07-20
84.55
75
2021-07-21
Cheat Day
83.8
75
2021-07-22
84.95
75
2021-07-23
83.75
75
Go to Edit the chart > Setup > Under X-axis > Click on ••• next to your "Date" column > Add labels > Select the column "Label" as your label.
Your Chart Editor > Setup should look like this:
you can have it like this, unfortunately not programmatically. the only way is to insert a line via Drawing and position it manually where needed.
spreadsheet demo
As best I can tell there isn't a way to add a vertical marker line to a chart in Google Sheets. One option that may be "good enough" in many cases is to "Add notes to a data point" and then use "Format data point" to make the point more visible. Here's an example, from your spreadsheet:
Unfortunately one limitation with this approach is you can only label a data point in the data set the chart is displaying. In your case the date you wanted to mark with a line isn't in the data set, so this won't work directly. You might be able to introduce a separate data series consisting of just that date and then add a note to that data point, but I haven't fiddled with it enough to make it work.
On IBM SPSS I am trying to create four simple scatter graphs for the following data.
I want to plot weight on one axis, carbohydrates on another axis, but I want a graph for four different seasons.
I have tried making a simple scatter, by putting weight on x axis and carbs on the y axis but am unsure how to create the four different seasons.
I tried putting seasons in the panel - column, but I just get four graphs on one single line.
Can anyone help with this?
In the menus, select Data>Split File, click on the Compare groups option on the right, move the season variable into the Groups Based on box, then click OK. Then just run the simple scatterplot and you'll get one for each season. Make sure to go back and select the "Analyze all cases, do not create groups" option in the Data>Split File dialog box before you do further analyses where you want to include all cases. The split status is displayed in the lower right corner of the Data Editor window. Reopening the file will automatically turn off the splitting.
