What calculations can I do in Tableau?

Tableau supports a number of functions = https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/functions.htm

If you are using data from Activity Hubs (which sit on Hana servers) you can also use Hana specific codes = https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_HANA_PLATFORM/4fe29514fd584807ac9f2a04f6754767/20e6a27575191014bd54a07fd86c585d.html

What training is available for developing workbooks in Tableau?

Tableau has great training videos on their website that use generic sales information. UCSD has specific training based on our use cases here: https://ucsdcollab.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ACP/pages/11174914

Why is my extract not working?

If your extract is from an Activity Hub data source, please email busintel@ucsd.edu.

If your extract is from a different server, please contact your DBA for that server. We have found that in these cases something has occurred with the source server, either that server is unavailable or something has changed.

Error message: Unable to proceed b/c of an error from the data source. Logical query table. Invalid Query.

Tableau cannot complete calculation due to unexpected data values within field.
