If the axis on your viz can change from anywhere between single numbers to millions depending on your filters, it might sometimes be a bit annoying that the number formatting on the axis and labels doesn’t change. However, as always, there are ways around this. Let’s...
A niche one today, but it does come up in some vizzes every now and then. Can you remember the forklift where we use placeholder values like "min(1)" or something similar just to draw a mark in a graph to than use for something else?...
In Tableau, it is pretty straightforward to build multiple smaller graphs in one view. Want to split this bar chart by country? Add your [Country] dimension to the Row shelf. Want small line charts by [Category] going across? Add the [Category] to the Row shelf. But...
In my previous blog, we discussed Multi-value parameters via the use of parameter actions and concatenation of values. Here, we used a view on the dashboard to act as a driver for the parameter to be filled with one or more values. You can also...
After a long pause, let’s get back into the Tableau Hacks. In this one, we are going to have a look into multi-value parameters. It is one of those little pet peeves — parameters can only hold a single value at a time. You can...
In the past, Tableau used to have a maximum number of 16 dimensions on the Rows shelf. Whilst it is generally not recommended to create tables that exceed that number anyway (there are other tools for that), Tableau has upped the limit to 50 and...
In the previous Tableau Hacks blog, we discussed adding Apply and Reset buttons to our dashboard filters, as well as the trick to de-highlight these buttons for a better user experience. In today’s blog, we will look into some more advanced options, such as customising...
If you build any dashboard with more than a handful of filters, and your dataset is fairly large, changing and applying multiple filters can be painfully slow since you are waiting after every filter change for the data to load. In these cases, you might...
Sometimes, we want to calculate summaries of our data that cannot be calculated at row level, but need to be calculated at the level of aggregation in our view. We can use Level of Detail calculations for some of these calculations. For example, if we...
Instead of scrolling page by page, what about scrolling row by row instead? Picking Up Where We Left Off Let’s reuse our dashboard and views from the previous Page by Page Vertical Synchronized Scrolling blog and make some small changes to go from page by page to...
Following up from the previous post, vertical synchronised scrolling can be even more of an issue. We’ve come up with two options here depending on the use case (and preference). The first option is pagination. Our business is selling stuff all around the globe and we...
Have you ever been in a situation with Tableau where you have developed a couple of great views, you put them in a dashboard, and they won’t fit to width unless you squash everything up? And then you cannot make sense of things anymore and...
