Easy! One click to set appropriate "Date" Format
Let's say I want to create this table
The initial view resulted in below.
Tableau's default is "year".
Try open "+" mark
Not good...
Mont honly displayed on the middle and cannot be seen.
Try "Exact Date" which brings original data's format.
Oh, Tableau says I did something wrong....
But it's still mid-process.
Chnge it to "Discrete"
Nop, it has "Time" information which I don't need now.
K, try next.
Finally done....
By shortest process,
Date ==> More ==> Custom ==> MDY ... Still troublesome.
Then, TIPS!! I'm afraid that nobody read through this part, anyway..
Drag "Date" field WITH PUSHING RIGHT SIDE OF MOUSE
Now you can select from the whole list.
Let's play around and Enjoy!
