Tableau Tip Tuesday: How to Calculate the Number of Profitable Days per Month

This week I begin what will hopefully be a series of videos and tips about Level of Detail (LOD) expressions in Tableau. The more I teach them, the more I learn about them. Many of the example I’ll show will come from the Tableau Community and/or adjusted to expand on the exercise. Essentially, I hope to turn this into a set of use cases for LOD expressions.

This week I show you how to calculate the number of days each month that were profitable. This started with read this post on the Tableau blog. I’ve extended their example to include sparklines, an area chart and using a parameter. Enjoy!
