Values for Calculated Field Based on Set Do Not Update As Expected

Issue

When using a calculated field based on a set, values for the calculated field do not always update after the set is modified.

Environment

Tableau Desktop 10.4.0 and earlier versions

Resolution

Upgrade to Tableau Desktop 10.5.0 or a newer version. For more information, see Upgrade Tableau Desktop.

If you are unable to upgrade, try one of the following workarounds:

Option 1:

Refresh the extract to make the expected values appear.

Option 2:

Use a calculated field that mimics the behavior of the set, instead of a set.

Option 3:

Create a "Dummy Variable" that is inserted in a the formula for the Calculated Field, providing a 'direct reference' to a parameter.
For example,
Original formula:

IF [Set 1] THEN [Sales] END

Where "Set 1" is a Set defined by a condition formula that references a parameter.
Revised formula:

IF [Set 1] THEN [Sales] END * [Parameter_One]

Where "Parameter_One" is a Parameter with a values of 1.
