❓ Can you put a dotted border on a bar in Tableau?   ❌ Not really, but you can make it look like you did.   A fellow Tableau developer at work had a requirement for a dotted bar on a Total of a Gantt chart, very similar to the image in this post.   You can't currently do that in Tableau.   But you CAN hack a look-alike: ✔ Create a separate worksheet with the total. ✔ Add it to you dashboard as a floating worksheet. ✔ Format the color of the worksheet to be the same as the bar. ✔ Add your border to the worksheet itself. ✔ Adjust the size (and continue to adjust by testing it on Server 🤣).   With this method, the total value is still dynamic, and with a centered label, still viable as a single bar.   A major weakness of this (as a Gantt chart add-on) is that it only really works for waterfall values that end positive and end in the maximum value - if the data is going to be refreshed. In those cases, you can size the total properly because Tableau will resize the elements to the same portion of the graph on the left every time.   The value that I sized to equal the net after the last two negative categories is unlikely to be the appropriate size on updated data.   However, it's fine if you're creating a final presentation.   Maybe this (or a variant) is useful to someone out there.   🏗→🧠 Build to Learn!   💭🚶♀️🚶♂️ Follow for more.   #tableau #data #analytics #VizoftheRay

𝗡𝗼 𝗗𝗔𝗫 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱: 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘂’𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 🚀 Day 7 of My Tableau Journey In my last post, we discussed Joins and Calculated Fields in Tableau. Today, let’s explore the basic parts of Tableau’s interface: Worksheets, Dashboards, and Stories. We’ll also cover important elements like Rows, Columns, Marks, Filters, and Pages all necessary for building great visualizations. In Power BI, DAX Measures are essential, but there’s no DAX in Tableau. 😄 Instead, Tableau uses Calculated Fields to create new data or perform calculations based on existing data, similar to Calculated Columns in Power BI. A special feature of Tableau’s Calculated Fields is LOD (Level of Detail) Expressions, which let you do calculations at different levels of detail than what’s shown in your chart. While they’re not exactly like DAX Measures, LOD Expressions help control how detailed your data is within Tableau. Check out the PDF below for a detailed explanation. ↓️ Stay tuned for more insights, and thanks for following along on this journey!

💡Tableau tip: Did you know that in Tableau, you can utilize any chart as a powerful filter for other visuals? This simple yet incredibly effective feature allows to do deep-dives easily and get a better understanding of the variations in trends and drivers for the same.📊 For example, one could select a particular region on a map chart and a view of ordered city-wise sales for that region is available immediately in an adjoining bar chart. Such cross-filtering behavior is not ON by default in Tableau (although it is default ON in power BI and Looker Studio). But turning it ON is simple. Simply select the chart that should be used as a filter and enable "use as filter" option. Are you aware of any other cool features in Tableau that enhance data analysis? Share in the comments below, and let's learn from each other!

💡 **Unlocking Hidden Gems in Tableau Desktop** 💡 Did you know that **Tableau Desktop** has some powerful features that often go unnoticed? These “hidden gems” can make a big difference in how we build and interact with dashboards. Here are a few that I’ve found incredibly helpful: 1️⃣ **Duplicate as Crosstab**: Ever need to view your visualization in table form? Right-click and select "Duplicate as Crosstab." It’s a fast way to create a detailed view, especially for data validation! 2️⃣ **Custom Data Roles**: You can map fields to specific geographic roles (like Zip Codes or States) to boost location-based insights. Perfect for adding context to regional data with just a few clicks! 3️⃣ **Performance Recorder**: This tool allows you to analyze how long each element of your dashboard takes to load. Use it to identify and optimize slow-loading charts, improving the end-user experience. 4️⃣ **Show/Hide Containers**: Create cleaner dashboards by adding a "show/hide" button for containers. This lets viewers expand sections only when needed, maximizing space and keeping dashboards uncluttered. 5️⃣ **Table Calculations for Dynamic Insights**: Table calculations allow you to create dynamic, context-based metrics like running totals or percent changes without altering the underlying data. There’s always something new to learn in Tableau Desktop that can help us create even more **effective and efficient** visualizations! 💬 What’s a hidden feature in Tableau Desktop that you can’t live without? Let’s share tips and boost our Tableau skills together! #TableauDesktop #DataVisualization #TableauTips #BusinessIntelligence #HiddenFeatures #DataEfficiency #SeniorBIDeveloper #TableauDevelopment

🔗 **Power Pair: SQL & Tableau for Next-Level Data Analysis** 🔗 As BI professionals, we know that the real magic often happens when we combine the strengths of different tools. **SQL** and **Tableau** together provide a powerful framework for analyzing and visualizing data with greater accuracy and depth. Here’s how I make the most of SQL + Tableau in my workflow: 1️⃣ **Data Preparation in SQL**: Complex joins, filtering, and aggregations are often faster and more efficient in SQL. Preparing data before it reaches Tableau ensures my dashboards stay responsive and focused. 2️⃣ **Custom Views for Tableau**: I use SQL to create custom views that act as “clean layers” for Tableau, reducing the need for complex calculations on the Tableau side. 3️⃣ **Advanced Analytics**: By doing heavy calculations or creating intermediate tables in SQL, I can speed up Tableau visualizations, especially for large datasets that require granular analysis. 4️⃣ **Dynamic Filtering**: Combining SQL parameters with Tableau filters creates highly interactive dashboards, allowing users to drill into specifics without losing performance. 💬 How do you leverage SQL with Tableau in your projects? Let’s share strategies that help us maximize insights and efficiency! #SQL #Tableau #BusinessIntelligence #DataVisualization #SeniorBIDeveloper #DataPreparation #Analytics #DataWorkflow

🎉 Tableau : Simplifying the Reset Filters Button! 🎉 While exploring Tableau today, I found an effortless and effective way to create a reset filters button. I just had to share this with the community! Here’s a quick rundown of how I did it: Creating Random Worksheets: I quickly put together a few worksheets to demonstrate the reset filter button. They may not be perfect, but they served their purpose! Building the Dashboard: I added the worksheets to a dashboard and enabled all the filters by showing them on the dashboard. The Magic of Extensions: Here’s where it gets interesting! From the dashboard objects, I selected the “Extensions” and searched for the “Filter Bookmarks” extension. This powerful feature allowed me to create the reset filter functionality in the easiest and most straightforward way. ✨ Watch my quick demo video where I practically implemented the reset filter button. It’s simple yet super effective! #Tableau #PowerBI #DataAnalyst #DataScience #Businessdeveloper #bi #businessanalyst #dilytics #follow #connections #linkedin #followers #slash #Tableau #DataAnalytics #ProblemSolving #CommunityEngagement #like

🔍 Transforming Data into Insights with SQL & Power BI/Tableau 📊 I recently came across an interesting analogy: A cracked wall representing raw data in SQL. Alone, it's scattered and complex, much like data waiting to be organized. But when we place the right frame – whether it's Power BI or Tableau – it transforms into a meaningful picture of data analysis. 🎯 Both Power BI and Tableau offer powerful features: 📊 Interactive visualizations for real-time insights ⏳ Time-saving automation for reporting and dashboard updates 📈 Data integration from multiple sources to create a holistic view 🚀 Actionable insights to fuel better decision-making and business strategy These tools turn raw data into strategic powerhouses, driving success in today’s data-driven world! 💡 #DataAnalysis #PowerBI #Tableau #SQL #BusinessIntelligence #DataVisualization #Analytics #DecisionMaking
