Sorting a single table is easy in Tableau Desktop, although the degree of control varies from method to method: Click on the Sort button in your top menu. Click on the Sort button next to your column/row header. Right-click on the dimension on Rows or...
If you’ve been using Tableau for a while, you have probably used parameters and case statements to swap metrics or dimensions. (If this technique is unfamiliar to you, you can read about the basics here.) With the release of parameter actions in version 2019.2, Tableau...
In this post, we’ll be looking at how we can use a tooltip and worksheet actions to highlight, rather than filter, a data point in our target viz. Here, the primary viz shows the sales by Sub-Category, and the tooltip shows where that Sub-Category sits...
In my previous article, I explained how Kendra Allenspach and I used parameter actions to build an interactive story about InterWorks’ Spotify listening preferences. The counter technique I described is the underlying foundation of the story, but we also used Tableau’s new Viz Animations feature...
My colleague Kendra Allenspach and I recently put together a visual story about InterWorks’ musical preferences using Spotify Wrapped data (we’ve embedded the final product at the end of this article if you want to skip straight to the fun stuff). The project took us...
We are back with the next installment of InterWorks’ Quantified Office, thanks to another tasty delivery from Tracy. This time, she gifted us with five wonderful brands of chocolate coconut cookies, known to many as Samoas. Willing to bear the burden of finding the best...
The initial request that led me to create this dashboard came from a client working in the sales department of a manufacturing company. The challenge was unique: if a customer requested a product that was out of stock, they could quickly find alternative products with...
Summertime and the blogging is easy. July proved to be a busy month on the blog for us, featuring 26 new content pieces and over 25 contributors! With three new podcasts dropping, several webinar replays available and even more of the usual tech and culture...
In my last post, I showed you how to replace a traditional drop-down menu with icons to swap sheets using parameter actions. In this post, we’ll take this a step further and refine how the icons look when they’re selected, removing the black border and...
During a recent Google search for elegant dashboards, I discovered a great example from Sharon Faber. I really like how Sharon incorporated icons that users can select to change the chart type. This gives users options without wasting space. Rather than burying alternative displays further down...
Everybody who has used Tableau for a while has come to love swapping measures by using a parameter. In fact, that is a feature I often utilize to make better use of space on a dashboard and to save time as it allows you to...
Tableau’s default behaviour is that when you click a data point, it stays selected. This is intuitive behaviour and makes total sense when a click has driven a filter on a dashboard. However, given the size and creativity of the Tableau community, clicking a data point...
