#GRANDTOTAL IN CALCULATED FIELD TABLEAU HOW TO#
(Here, I will assume that the reader is aware of how to use sets to sort and show numbers of rows entered in the parameters. This column can further be sorted on three values - Top N, Bottom N, and All - where the user selected variable ’N’ is the number of sorted rows to be made visible, for example, Top 10, Bottom 20 and so on. 667-670 Language : English Year of publication : 1971.
