Grouping Lower Ranked Bars in Bar Chart
In a recent post, C. Palo has asked for a "top N and others" solution. There is a KB article on the subject. But it's based on sets, which won't work for C. Palo because she has a few filters. So the top N will be dynamic while sets based approach only provides static top N, regardless of filters.
I would present here a tutorial on the topic. It is based on an approach by Tableau Zen Master Richard Leeke while using a different filter. Also would I explain some of the intricacies. This approach works on filtered results if any.
The example uses the superstore data set where we will show the top N countries with the highest sales, and group the others in a single bar.
Step 1. Create an integer parameter [Top N]
Step 2.
