alias - Tableau: How to edit aliases, if I use only one source? -
i know can change aliases if have primary , secondary source in use. however, while using 1 source (excel), there's no option 'edit alias'. there alternative, i.e. create calculate field?
specifically: need keep months in order, don't want display digits instead of months names. want change {2;3;...;11}
{"october";...;"june"}
on axis.
i assume have data similar - @ least regards month_number
, month_name
.
there few ways want...
option #1 - sort field:
- right-click on month name field , select sort. within popup, under
sort by
, check "field" , select field contains number of months. aggregation can minimum or maximum - benign long showing data @ month grain (which are).
option #2 - use , hide number field header:
make sure month number field discrete dimension place before month name field on shelf (rows or columns).
right click on month number field , un-check 'show header'.
option #3 - create calculated date field:
- create new calculated field , reference month number field within
makedate()
function.
- use new field date , benefit features tableau provides date - including proper ordering.
