What I have?

I have a dashboard in Tableau which shows different payments received - the amount, the date the payment was received, and a calculated field which shows the number days since the payment was received.

However, lot of payments are same, with the same amount, and received on the same day; so Tableau collapses them together, and adds the total days since the payments were received together in the final column, i.e. five lots of £5.50, each received on 1st January shows as below

Column 1   Column 2     Column 3
£5.50     01/01/2018      155

What I want?

But I need separate rows for each. Does anyone know how to stop tableau doing this, or of a workaround? Many thanks.

Tableau has a function RANK_UNIQUE which you can use for this query

As a first step, uncheck the aggregate measures within the Analysis Menu.

Then, starting from this sample data:

You can get the following result: enter image description here

Additionally, if you want to hide Rank from rows -- not-showing header.

Is this something close to what you're looking for?

EDIT/UPDATE

In order to get all values and not just for the top rows, just move the Rank at the very beginning of the shelf:
