See the complete Steps below in Explanation:
Explanation:
To compute the required calculations and update the worksheet in Tableau Desktop, follow these steps:
* Compute Average Sales by Segment for Each Category and Year:
* Open the CC workbook and navigate to the Categorical Sales worksheet.
* Drag the 'Sales' field to the Rows shelf if it's not already there.
* Drag the 'Segment' field to the Rows shelf as well, placing it next to 'Category' and 'Year'.
* Right-click on the 'Sales' field in the Rows shelf and select 'Quick Table Calculation' > 'Average'.
This will compute the average sales for each segment within each category and year.
* Create a Calculation for Year-over-Year Percentage Change:
* Right-click in the data pane and select 'Create Calculated Field'.
* Name the calculated field something descriptive, e.g., "YoY Sales Change".
* Enter the formula to calculate the year-over-year percentage change:
(ZN(SUM([Sales])) - LOOKUP(ZN(SUM([Sales])), -1)) / ABS(LOOKUP(ZN(SUM([Sales])), -1))
* Click 'OK' to save the calculated field.
* Replace the Original Measure with the Year-over-Year Percentage Change in the Crosstab:
* Remove the original 'Sales' measure from the view by dragging it off the Rows shelf.
* Drag the newly created "YoY Sales Change" calculated field to the Rows shelf where the 'Sales' field was originally.
* Format the "YoY Sales Change" field to display as a percentage. Right-click on the field in the Rows shelf, select 'Format', and adjust the number format to percentage.
* Save Your Changes:
* From the File menu, click 'Save' to ensure all your changes are stored.
