Small Changes, Big Impact: Quick Tableau Dashboard Tips

When it comes to creating a dashboard in Tableau, your options are endless. It can be a time-consuming, and sometimes overwhelming, task to consider all of the ways you can customize your data visualization. Colors, calculations, filters, icons, menus … it’s a lot to sift through.

Quick and Easy Tableau Dashboard Tricks

In this video, I share some of my favorite go-to options for fast and simple dashboard clean-up:

  • Increase white space
  • Use a clear font hierarchy
  • Define distinct spaces
  • Streamline and smooth out visual layout

If you want more, you can find a workbook on my Tableau Public profile that shows a before-and-after transformation using these four tips. Explore, interact with the features and even download the workbook to feel the difference firsthand.

I hope these easy fixes help you as you work through designing your Tableau dashboards. While these changes may seem minor, they can make a huge difference in delivering your data through a meaningful, visually accessible user experience.
