Explanation:
To add a line showing the cumulative percentage of sales contributed by each product to the incremental sales in the Incremental worksheet of your Tableau Desktop, follow these detailed steps:
* Open the CC Workbook and Access the Worksheet:
* From the desktop, double-click on the CC workbook to open it in Tableau Desktop.
* Navigate to the Incremental worksheet by clicking on its tab at the bottom of the window.
* Calculate Cumulative Sales Percentage:
* Create a new calculated field to compute the cumulative percentage of sales. Right-click in the Data pane and select 'Create Calculated Field'.
* Name this field "Cumulative Sales Percentage".
* Enter the following formula to calculate the running sum of sales as a percentage of the total sales:
(RUNNING_SUM(SUM([Sales])) / TOTAL(SUM([Sales])) [Sales]))
* Click 'OK' to save the calculated field.
* Add the Cumulative Sales Percentage Line to the Chart:
* Drag the "Cumulative Sales Percentage" field to the Rows shelf, placing it next to the existing Sales measure.
* Ensure that the cumulative line appears as a continuous line. Right-click on the "Cumulative Sales Percentage" field on the Rows shelf, select 'Change Chart Type', and choose 'Line'.
* Adjust the axis to synchronize or dual-axis if necessary. Right-click on the axis of the
"Cumulative Sales Percentage" and select 'Synchronize Axis' if it's on a dual-axis setup.
* Format the Cumulative Sales Percentage Line:
* Click on the "Cumulative Sales Percentage" line in the visualization.
* Navigate to the 'Format' pane to adjust the line style, thickness, and color to make it distinct from other data in the chart.
* Save Your Changes:
* From the File menu, click 'Save' to ensure all your changes are stored.
