Re-Upload - Building Basic Charts in Tableau Next Part 3 [Reposted]

I've taught thousands of people what an LOD is, and I still had to fight my way through one just to build a basic percentage of total in Tableau Next.

  • Tableau Next has no native pie chart or percentage-of-total calculation, so I had to write a fixed LOD just to get proportions on a donut chart.
  • Reference lines on a segmented bar chart compute at the wrong level of detail with no way to override it, which I consider a clear bug that breaks trust in the numbers.
  • Several chart types from Tableau's guide simply can't be built yet, including bullet graphs, box and whisker, and proper packed bubble or tree map layouts.
  • The semantic model defaults join fields to system-created data source objects rather than real table fields, and doesn't name imported tabs sensibly.
  • Metrics in Tableau Next look essentially identical to Tableau Pulse, suggesting Pulse was effectively a testing ground for this experience.
