"Compute Using" option
Can you describe the behaviour of "compute using". I have never heard of it.
For example when you are calculating the percentage of grand totals, you have options in tableau to compute it using the "Compute USing" across rows, columns, or Pane etc. See the image attached to get an idea of all the options.
e Using" function
The CALCULATE function allows you to change the filter context in any report. Using this tool, you can create virtually anything you need. An example is a simple table
Year. Qty
2001. 10
2002. 15
total. 25
To get each row percentage of total, you would write something like
=divide(sum(table[Qty]),calculate(sum(table[qty]),ALL(table[year])))
but out it is a big topic :-)
There is also a new quick calc feature on some visuals. I blogged about that here

It only has % of grand total but not the running totals or cumulative sums
Matt,
Is there a simple way of calculating the running total... I am also trying to draw a pareto chart
rajdsing That is a complicated question. I received help from a community member on this. It was successful. Here is the link.
