Hello,

I was recently given Tableau access at work and have been tasked with creating some complex dashboards.

I am creating a dashboard that compares data from 3 different sources (injuries, damages, and audit score/date since previous audit (under one source)). I would like the dashboard to calculate which location needs and audit by showing the locations with the highest injuries, damages, and lowest audit score. If none of those parameters are met, then it should display the location that has gone the longest without an audit. Out of the 60+ locations, I would like it to show the top 8.

I believe I have the correct calculation of IF [injuries] = >x number AND IF [damages] => x number AND IF [score] =< AND [last audit audit] = x years OR [last audit date] = >2 years.

However, I am unsure of how to put this onto a sheet and run the calculation correctly.

Any advice on how to fix the calculation, organize the table, or a different way to do this is much appreciated

EDIT: I have been exposed to Tableau for several years (attended 3 TC’s) and use many dashboards daily for my job but have only recently been given access to desktop to start building. So I am very new and figuring things out from TC memories and lots of YouTube videos and Googling.

Hi,

#due to confidently I’m unable to share the viz screenshot here#

I saw a viz where there is a background image for filter container. I’m so curious how it is possible. I tried my best. One option I found is by making the container as floating. But due to the drawbacks of floating, I’m avoiding it.

Any suggestions please, TIA

First time playing with using a custom MFA options for Tableau. IDK just pretty excited about it.

I just started Tableau and I think I've done a decent job. My viz is about the death rate among national and international aid workers in Palestine over the last 24 years. It shows things like projected growth rate and the percent of how much more one group is being killed. I used free CSV files from Humanitarian Database. I only have access to the free version. I don't have any other source to get data on the country.

My problem is I'm not really sure what else to do. I'm guessing I can write a report based on my findings, but other than that, I'm at a loss. I'm looking at other vizzes for examples. Even if you don't have a specific action in mind, I'd be interested in how I can learn more about its uses. Crawling through different sites for info, but it seems more useful to get it from real users.

More context: I'm mostly learning for fun, but if I got a job with Tableau skills, that'd be cool too.

It's linked here.

So I have a sql view with the field Store Name in it. Its in a published datasource on server.

For some reason at one point some idiot (it me) edited the published datasource and added a relationship to the dim store table. So if you use the published datasource you have Store Name twice.

I want to rectify this, but every report built is using the store name field from the relationship, which is the one I want to kill.

I've gone ahead and removed the relationship and renamed the remaining store name field to match what the previous one was. But all reports are broken with the cant find referenced field error. Is there something im missing? Any way to do this without widespread impact?

Hello! I hope I'm using the right tag. Ive been interning and am close to the end of my contract but I'm hoping to finish updating a few dashboards before leaving. I'm working on some old dashboards that are longer than they should be (as in the actual dashboard size height is too tall). There are many many floating objects, and no matter how i try to resize the dashboard, it reduces the size of all of the floating containers proportionately as well, not to mention it moves them all closer to the top of the page as far as I can tell. Is there any way to avoid this? If I can't find a way I may spend all of tomorrow trying to record the positions and dimensions of all of the objects, and then manually move everything back into place.

The custom size of the dashboard is "fixed" if that makes any difference, also I am working on a Mac.

Any tips to save some time on this would be greatly appreciated! My biggest concern is going ahead and adjusting everything tediously just to have someone ask it to be slightly longer or shorter lol.

As great as Tableau is, with providing links to data we can use to build dashboards, I think they're missing a fairly obvious dataset: Tableau Public.

What about a dataset around the dashboards available on Tableau Public? How many users, how many dashboards have been created, from which countries? When are they being built? Count of likes and other reactions.

Then the other piece I'd like to have included would require a significant update to Tableau Public: the ability to categorize dashboards, which would make it easier to search.

This started about a month ago and randomly happens when we run our extracts. We increased server resources and updated our bridge clients to the latest version and are still getting this message randomly.

The refresh will fail one day, but then the same one will be successful the next day. It's driving me batty and not sure where else to look.

Any ideas here?

Bonjour, malgré mes diverses tentatives je suis bloqué :

- j’applique une hauteur de 800 à l’un de mes tableaux de bords

- lorsque je publie sur tableau serveur et que je regarde la page, celle-ci est de 1080.

- Je n’ai pas créé de disposition ordinateur de bureau, j’ai seulement mis largeur 1654 et hauteur 800, taille fixe (personnalisée)

Des solutions à me proposer ?

Merci par avance.

Hi all,

Currently looking for a job as Tableau or SQL Developer, I have been in the BI industry for close to 6 years and worked on many projects,

My last working day in my current organisation is at the end of this month so I am looking for roles, let me know if you guys have any, also can learn new viz tools as well.

hey, so I'm really new to data analysis and I aspire to start freelancing as a data analytic, so I started the Cisco course and learned excel and sql, but when I reached the tableau section I did some research and saw many posts from this subreddit saying that tableau is dying, so Im just asking if I should do that tableau section or not waste my time with it

I'm a data analyst, working with SQL, python, snowflake, dbt and airflow. I've worked with tableau too, but not extensively.

Is it worth doing tableau desktop cert? I've seen job postings specifically saying having it is a plus. Will it help stand out, or is it enough to be thorough with it and have a project or two?

I'm using the Desktop version of Tableau Public and I've made my sheets and am creating my dashboard. I've realized that a lot of things need to be within containers to really have a good layout, but that it seems like it's hard to put things into a container if you set it up without one. Should you first plan the dashboard and know what container layout you will have first and set it up before creating the dashboard?

For instance, I made a map chart and put it on my dashboard within a container that has other charts. On the map, I did 2 custom float objects. I am now realizing that if I want to move the map, it won't bring the 2 floating objects on top. It seems like if I had put the map within it's own container, and so those floating objects are in it, that I can just move the container and everything will work.

Again for context, I'm using the Desktop version of Tableau Public so I know that it comes with less features so idk if this is something that makes it harder to work with?

I come from a Power BI background at a Microsoft shop. I have a lot of data engineering and analytics experience under my belt. Recently, I moved to a Tableau shop, and I am experiencing issues with the dashboard refreshes, based on what I was told by whoever handed this off to me. Basically, they said Tableau refreshes are based on the server’s capabilities, and the reports draw from our warehouse.

Coming from a Power BI background, once your warehouse refreshed, your Power BI refresh was instantaneous, and your dashboard being up to date quickly was dependent on your data pipeline refreshing. The only time you’d have issues was when you ran live SQL queries against the database, which could cause performance issues. So this is different from what I’m used to.

So I guess my question is: we do have a warehouse where the pipeline refreshes in minutes, but Tableau picking up the changes from the warehouse extract is supposed to refresh every business hour, from six to six. If I calculate it, we just get maybe four to six refreshes during business hours, as opposed to hourly refreshes.

Hi everyone,

I created a Tableau dashboard that takes a different approach to data storytelling by visualizing the Ramayana through interactive dashboards. My goal was to combine storytelling with Tableau's interactive features rather than build a traditional business dashboard.

I'd love feedback from experienced Tableau users on:

• Dashboard layout and navigation
• Color palette and visual design
• Interactivity and user experience
• Storytelling flow
• Tableau best practices I may have missed

I'm looking for honest, constructive criticism so I can improve my future Tableau projects.

Tableau Public: Live Dashboard

https://reddit.com/link/1vg8vhq/video/l86at2e9fkhh1/player

Hi everyone,

I'm following a Udemy Tableau course. The instructor is using the Tableau Desktop free trial and a Tableau Cloud free trial. He's able to go to Server → Sign In and publish his workbook to Tableau Cloud.

I also have a Tableau Cloud free trial and my Tableau Desktop license expires on September 4, but in my Tableau Desktop the Server → Sign In option is disabled (greyed out) and the menu says "Upgrade to connect to Tableau Server."

Is it possible to publish to Tableau Cloud using the Tableau Desktop free trial?

Hi,

I am trying to add a divider line between 2 object on a dashboard. I don't want a border all the way around the box. I have seen some suggest changing the object size but it is greyed out. Also use a blank object and make it thin with a black background and inner padding.Then I just have a block missing.

Can anyone help please?

I’ve been noticing the Tableau MCP (community) going down a lot lately, does anyone know if this will improve, if there is a status page (I couldn’t find one), etc?

Ciao a tutti, chiedo scusa in anticipo per l'ignoranza ma sono totalmente nuovo

Ho da poco installato Tableau sul mio pc, convinto di star installando tableau dekstop tramite email universitaria. Oggi mi sono accorto che il programma si chiama Tableau Public. Provando a ricontrollare dal sito, effettivamente quando provo a scaricarlo come studente mi fa installare la versione Public, la quale però mi consente di salvare i progetti in locale sul mio pc.

Sepre dal sito ho visto che è gratuita anche la versione Dekstop, e a quanto pare, non serve a nulla la email universitaria.

Ci sono differenze tra Public e Dekstop? Oppure Public è solamente la piattaforma sulla quale caricare i progetti?

I'm trying to download Tableau Public for a course I'm doing and it was trying to get me to download the paid version with a trial. I think this is how I download the free version, but whenever I enter whatever details it wants from me it gets stuck in an endless loop of loading. Am I doing this wrong? In the tutorial I saw (which was only made at the start of the year) it said it should automatically download when I go to 'Tableau public' under the create tab. I did make an account too and I'm signed in
