Just a few days ago, the much-anticipated Tableau 8.2 made its debut. Tableau promised several new and exciting features for this latest release, and they didn’t disappoint. Naturally, all of us at InterWorks were some of the first people to check these features out. We...
Until recently, whenever I needed to filter data by date, I would use a quick filter and adjust the filter using one of the pre-determined controls (Single/Multiple Value(s) selectors). Where was the option for a drop-down calendar like you would see when you’re trying to...
In this article, we are discussing setting custom properties on your workbook measures. You can find your measures in the lower half of the Sidebar, also known as the Data Window among regular Tableau users. Why Set Default Properties? Tableau does a pretty good job of figuring...
Ready to pick up where we left off? Last week, I posted "10 Ways to Drive End-User Adoption of Tableau - Part 1." This week, I finish things off with Part 2. In this piece, I cover the remaining five ways in which you can...
The Worksheet Canvas For the Tableau Desktop Interface (see Figure 1), we have covered the Toolbar and the Sidebar. Today, we will examine the rest of the worksheet, focusing on all of the options and controls from the Worksheet Canvas. Figure 1: Tableau Worksheet. Cards & Shelves We’ll only...

The Toolbar Below is a screenshot of the Tableau worksheet interface connected to a generic Excel datasource (Orders). We will focus exclusively on the row of buttons just below the menu drop-downs at the top of the page - the Toolbar. Tableau often has multiple ways of...
I have a love / hate relationship with the Attribute function in Tableau. I love it for what it does, I hate it for those times that someone asks me to describe what it does. It took me a long time to wrap my head...

In my recent blog post, “Using Comments in Tableau,” I described how to create a comment that would display as a tooltip when you hover over a dimension or measure. There is actually another kind of comment that I think is equally useful - the...
