Tableau not displaying the correct figures when trying to compare and visualize data

49 Views Asked by At

I've joined 2 data sets together, one of 2016 olympics and 2020 results and I want to create visualizations and compare the two "total" amount of medal values for each country.

When adding attributes to the sheet to create a visualization of my data, I want to compare the total amount of medals from both years for each country, it displays the Rio Olympic data correctly but when I then go to add the 2020s Olympic "Total" data figures to compare, it doesn't display the total figure for the 2020 Olympic data, I made sure to include all the figures but still doesn't display correctly.

It does the same when I do it opposite with displaying 2016s data first, it doesn't show 2020s data so the issue is not the data as far as i'm aware.

2020 and 2016 data sets joined Data sets joined

This looks like an issue with your join relationship between the two data sets. What does Tableau show when you are using just one source - remove the other source entirely.

Also, looking at your data, you'd really benefit here from unioning the sets together
