The one for use in this chapter is named "Discount Goods_Big_Store_Financials.xlsx." Download this file and save it to the computer on which you will be using Tableau. All short training videos can be found here. 10 points For this case, you will create several calculations to produce a text chart of profitability ratios to allow you to compare and contrast the two companies. You also will need to change data from continuous to discrete (see Chapter 3 Data Analytics case for more information on this). eBook After you view the training videos, follow these steps to create the charts you'll use for this case: Print References 1.

Make sure the box says that the calculation is valid and click OK. 6. Repeat the process by creating a calculated field named "Profit Margin on Sales" that consists of "Net income/(loss)," divided by "Net sales." 7. Repeat the process one more time by creating a calculated field "Asset Turnover" that consists of "Net sales" divided by "Average total assets." 8. Drag the newly created "Return on Assets" to add it to the Rows shelf. Format it to Discrete, Times New Roman, 10-point font, black, center alignment, and percentage. 9.
