Tableau Blending

Can't get your blend to work? Not sure why? Try this quick tip: 

Your blend fields are dependent on your visualization: use the date aggregation and any dimensions used in the viz or as a filter.

Filtering on country? Make sure you blend on it.
Showing mediums? Use it in your blend.

Date is a little more complicated and generally requires you to create a calculated field. If you're showing by month and year, create a month+year field and blend on it. Year to date? Create a field for YTD and use it in your blend.

For more information on using dates in blending, see my blog post
