You seriously make the most comprehensive and clearly structured videos regarding Tableau on KZbin - thank you very much!

This is why I come to your channel, Andy, well done and thanks!

[@vizwiz]

Glad to help

[@chrischannel9472]

Thanks for the great reminder. Your second example was exactly what I needed for a project I am working. Great video and I am enjoying your weekly newsletter.

[@vizwiz]

Thanks for the support!

[@Nextgenvideogametheory]

Thank you so much. I literally work in Tableau all day for my job. And always learn something new can apply immediately from you. This is so helpful!

[@vizwiz]

Great to hear!

i spent 1-2 hours trying to troubleshoot an issue by doublechecking the data, manually recreate the returned rows using sql query, crosschecking the result with tableau's visual; nothing worked. Turns out I need the context filter. Thank you good Sir. Should've tried finding the solution on youtube first before trying on my own hahaha

[@alfonzinoxQQ]

Very clear explications. Recently had an interview and didn't know this about context.

[@vizwiz]

Now you do! 👍🏻

Hi Andy, can we filter the states which do not buy in a selected subcategory. ex. if I select accessories i should only see the states which do not buy in that subcategory.

Thank you for the video. Very helpful to understand In Context, but how would I display the top 5 States in each Region at the same time. You show 5 for each Region, one Region at a time.

Is it possible to use context filters if you want to illustrate a value comparison between two datetime fields. For example, a datetime field with dates from 2021-2024. I want to use this variable twice, but have one selection filter only to current week, and the other filtering values 2 weeks ago. Each time I add them on my worksheet, it only takes values for my first field entered. Also once I try applying context to my second datetime field, my worksheet goes blank...what am I doing wrong

Hey Andy amazing video. Could please make video on full tableau using real world dataset.

Great video! What if we are using a top n filter and want to use more than one filter? I’m currently working on a dashboard that uses a top n and have four filters I want to use. Thank you!

[@vizwiz]

Then all four of the other filters should be in context. Those will filter first, and then the top N.

[@prudhvimaddula]

How to deal with when u are using charts as filters in a dashboard and filter across so many other dashboard elements .? Is there a priority of order for context filters if there are many like 5filters added to context?

[@vizwiz]

They run simultaneously

[@prudhvimaddula]

@@vizwizi have a dashboard where all the charts are clickable as they have been added to action filters but i want these action filters to have priority in filtering on the sheet. For example if state map sheet filter is added as action in other charts, all other charts should filter selected state on priority. For this i added them to context in affecting sheet because it has some fixed LOD calculations. But when I click on the sheet which causes action( example state sheet in my case), it is not filtering. Can i get help with this possible reason?

[@Alam_Syed]

Awesome. thank you so much..

[@creativemedia.]

what if we convert a normal filter as data source level filter?

[@vizwiz]

Right click on the data source and choose Edit datasource filters
