I created Tableau Dashboard Actions.
If no action is taken, all data is displayed, i.e.
And when I click the appropriate data point, the appropriate data displays in other sheets of the Dashboard - except one.
How to troubleshoot when only one datapoint doesn't work?
When I toggle through filter, i.e. dropdown, all values show.
But when I create action to hover or select point in map, the problem persists with one data source.
I know it's not a filtering issue.
I recreated the flat source file, and the entire Tableau program, but the problem still persists.
What else can I troubleshoot?
Location 2 is very close to other locations, if that matters, but the locations nearby also work
And when I remove Location 2 from the flat-file and re-load tableau, all points work.
So I'm trying to figure out
If I use Locations drop down as a filter, all locations work, and only the relevant points are plotted on the map
If I create action for hovering over point in map, all points work except Location 2
I re-added one of the datapoints, even re-named the address but it's still not working.

On my Main tab in my Anylogic model I have a GIS Map. In another tab (from one of my agent populations), I have a graph (created from a time measurement within this agent). Whenever I run the model, the graphs of those agents are shown within the GIS Map (the same way the agents are placed on the map), as can be seen in the figure below. However, I want the graph to be shown next to the GIS Map (like the pyCommunicator and other parts shown above the map). Whatever I try (I placed the graph outside/inside the frame in the agent's tab), it stays within the GIS Map when running. Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Easier way is to create the graphs directly in the Main agent. For that, you should reference to the specific instance of the Terminal agent. For example terminals(0).end.distribution.
You also need to drag and drop Terminal agent into the Main.
I want to calculate and display the average scroll depth in Data Studio from analytics.
I’m looking to get an average scroll depth in Studio. I’ve got the 10%,25%, etc scroll depth data coming in, but I now need to be able to calculate the average scroll % from this data.
To calculate the average scroll depth:
multiply the scrolled threshold by the number of events (10x500) + (20x400) + (30x475) +(40x300) + (50x200) + (60x100) +(70x75) +(80x60) + (90x20) + (100x10)
Then, take that total divided by the total number of events. 500 + 400 + 475... etc
Because I can’t reference cells in Studio I can’t get it to work. I’ve also tried Google Sheets, which does work to do the calculation, but then I can’t use Data Studios filter to provide a specific page path?
I'm thinking that perhaps the calculation will need to be done at data source, but I am not sure how to reference a 'cell'?
Data Studio doesn't work based on a concept of "cells", it works based on a concept of "fields"—which are basically properties of the data source. Similarly, you don't have "formulas" per se, but rather "calculated fields". These fields can be created either at the chart-level (single-use, but doesn't require permissions to modify the data source) or in the data source (reusable across many charts, requires permissions to modify the data source). Most fields also have an aggregation type, which tells the report how to aggregate it in charts by default (e.g. Sum or Average).
When you either edit your data source and hit "Add Field" or the option with the same name under the "Add metric" or "Add dimension" menus on a chart, you'll be presented with a box to input the formula. To access a field, just type its name (of if you're in the data source, select it from the list on the left). The editor will also typically give you an auto-complete list below your cursor based on what you're typing. Once your entry matches a field, it will get a highlight box around it (the color is based on the type; green = dimension/string,blue = metric/number). The functions available are sort of a mash-up of something between what you'd expect in Google Sheets and in a SQL query, but with more constraints on when you're allowed to use certain functions.
The documentation for calculated fields is pretty simple, so I'd recommend starting there before you try to do too much heavy-lifting in Data Studio. Because of constraints in Data Studio's data model, you'll often find that you need to create separate calculated fields for different parts of the formula, and then combine them in a new calculated field. I'll warn you that the error messages in the field editor aren't super helpful sometimes, so you may need to re-read the documentation for the functions and field types you're working with to ensure you get a valid result.
If you're running into problems, including the field names and values that you need in your calculation may help, including the source of the data (are these GA events?). The more details you give, including what you've already tried, the more helpful we can be. Also, make sure to read the docs first to make sure you have a good handle on the product you're using and the terminology the community is most likely to understand.
I have been troubleshooting this issue where I click on datapoint in geographic map and NOTHING appears. However, all other datepoints work as expected
Troubleshooting steps
I deleted and re-created the tableau map
I removed the offending datapoint, and all other datapoints worked
I renamed the address of the datapoint, same problem
But then, I changed the latitude and longitude of the data-point and it worked.
Now when I revert to the correct latitude and longitude of the data-point it doesn't work.
Why on Earth doesn't it work?
Is there a certain way I should format longitude and latitude? This is how I formatted it:
Please please please help. I've been working on this all day.
This is screenshot of it working, when I select location from drop-down
This is screenshot when I select data-point from map and it DOESN'T WORK.
Notice how data at the bottom is BLANK, as if nothing is selected.
But if I select any other data-point on map it works
Update
Proof of concept is here,
Notice when you click on Eat at Joes on map, the data display is blank, but if you select Eat at Joes from dropdown, then it works
Another update
If I go to dashboard, do rectangular select, this is what I get
If I go to original map and do rectangular select, I get this. It says 64 marks, 1 row by 1 column
And if I use quick filter, select Eat at Joes, it displays the data, including the name Eat at Joes
But if I hover over or select 'Eat at Joeson the map (not the drop-down), the name in the dashboard saysNoneinstead ofEat at Joes`.
And this happens to all data points that I hover over.

Update after calculated field
I dragged Cal_Loc to Details and it is aggregate (I am unable to change to Dimension) and not appearing in drop-down of dashboard panel.
However on lower left corner of Maps screen, it says 5 marks even though I see 4, which is still quite unsettling ...
There are two problems.
The first is that you're using ATTR(). Instead of putting the fields of interest into Tooltip as attributes, put them into Detail as dimensions. Filtering on an attribute is tricky (that *'ll get you into all sorts of trouble). For filtering, dimensions are usually the way to go.
The second is that you have lat/lng in the map as dimensions. Try changing them to a measure. If your dimensions (Location, Type) can uniquely identify every point on the map (and now that you've made them dimensions and not attributes, they can), then you can have the lat/lng averaged.
Your title problem is a known issue with Tableau. They've acknowledged the problem for about two and a half years now, but there's no fix in sight. Behavior with putting dimensions in titles is very inconsistent (a quick search through the Tableau forums reveals a pretty shocking number of people with your exact issue). I couldn't find a solution to your problem, but here's a hacked together one specific to your situation.
Make a calculated field:
IIF(COUNTD([Location]) > 1, 'Multiple Locations', ATTR([Location]))
Then replace [Location] in your title with that field. It just checks to see how many locations are present in the partition. If there's just one, it uses ATTR([Location]), which we can safely assume will return the name of a single location and not a "*". Otherwise, it returns "Multiple Locations", which you can obviously adjust to fit your needs.
I have been interested in map reporting, so I wanted to create a map report with drill down functionality, so basically created two reports as follows:
a) Main report based on SQL Server Spatial data for showing US States wide sales
b) Drill down map report based on ESRI shapfile for showing US Counties sales for the selected state
I downloaded the US Counties ESRI shapefile.
Once I was done with the reports, I tested the map with drilldown functionality. I previewed the main report, hover the mouse over Texas and I don't see the counties for Texas state. I see only a map of the US with tiny dots.
So, I am not sure what I missed. I chose County Name column from the spatial data and also the county name from the analytical dataset. Is it the ESRI shapefile?
Please advise.
To my knowledge SSRS does not support 'hover over' features only an 'action' feature. The action can go to a hyperlink, go to a report, or go to a section. To do a drill down for a report, even if it is geographic you need to have a reference to something you can pass to something else. I recently did something similar to what you are asking though. You can make a 'subreport' that dynamically gets created from a geographic data type that represents states. What I did:
I downloaded a program that takes Census shape files and puts them into a SQL database:
http://www.sharpgis.net/page/sql-server-2008-spatial-tools.aspx
I got a shape file of the counties of the US from the Census.
I created a database called 'Spatial'
I created a table and inserted data into it from step 1's app called 'Counties'
I created a generic US map as my 'Main' report, using the geographic options for the US.
I created a subreport of a map type but chose the spatial data wizard. The options are not that important to get started but HOW you make the image. This report gets it's data from the 'geographic' column of the table I made so the query would be like this(ensure to have a datasource go to the Spatial Database):
Select StateName, Counties, geog(geographic type)
from UsCounties
where StateName = #State
The report when done looks like a blob, because it is created at run time, not statically. You can 'preview' it and pass in a state like 'OR' or 'WA' from a variable that should be created called 'State'. If it was not auto created you may do so and make it a 'Text' variable. It will display the state shape if it was set up correct.
You may go back to the report in step 5 and then go to the 'Polygon Properties' of the layer you created.
Select the 'Action' pane on the left. Choose 'Go to report', specify the sub report you created, the report will want a variable match for 'State' the generic US state has an 'Abbreviation' that corresponds to the state two digit code.
Now you should be able to run the main report and when you click anywhere in a state it will 'drillthrough' to a report that is created at runtime from the spatial database. This is vector based so it is fairly quick depending on your hardware hosting your machine and how much data you show.
Keep in mind that with SSRS it is hard to make it have some 3d features and hover over for some reason is completely ignored for objects but is relegated to only 'tooltips' which you can load up with functions to give text and numbers but not much more. There is a hack I wrote in another place of how you can use javascript to pop out a window, but under the hood you are really just doing a drill through presented differently.
here goes a simple question:
I've got a showKmz() function which receives an URL belonging to a KML/KMZ file and which goes straight ward to a fetchkml() method, after that it gets appended to my Google Earth instance.
Now I want to recover the coordinates of this fetched KML/KMZ file and use them to immediatelly after load a custom ico I want to put exactly on the same location of the KML/KMZ file I fetched.
The reason for that is that I want to show this files on Google Earth with their clicable icon despite of whatever icon those KML/KMZ could have by default...
Does anybody knows a way to either achieve the goal of retrieving the coordinates or even better: a more direct way to make this custom icon superposing I want?
Thanks in advance!!
Bye!!
From here
http://code.google.com/apis/earth/documentation/kml.html
When getting a KML/Z file with fetchKml, you have in the callback an option to interact with the KMLFeatures you've obtained before appending them to the globe. There could be several items in that file which have coordinates, as well as several icons. So it sounds like you want to get the features, iterate over them, and insert an IconStyle for each (or replace existing IconStyle) to have it render with the Icon you want. You don't have to place a new feature at the same location as the existing ones.
