Tiny Tableau Tips for Customizing the Filter

1/31/2017

0 Comments

 
I received a question about the a workaround for selecting all in a filter.  In this tip, I show how to guide your users to select specific data items, because sometimes that's what your data demands.  Because your data is the boss. 
That little question about a workaround for All led me to a better discovery.  One where I think angels sang.  At least they did in my head.  It's the apply button.  When you customize and show all, you now become the #vizboss.  That's right.  Your view updates when you say so, not after every selection. Yay for timesavers! You go you #vizboss.

Typically, I just connect to my data and go to worksheet 1.  However, the other day, I needed to spend a little time in the data source window, so this week, I have two Tiny Tableau Tips that are all about the data. I'm also a fan of tips where I can...

Tiny Tableau Tips for 2017

I love the whole idea for exploring and sharing tiny tips in Tableau. Who knew a Think Data Thursday could have such an impact! Haven't seen it yet? Get on that! Not only do I feature my favorite tips, but also ones from the community. It's a bunch of awesomeness (at least for me). So I had this bright idea to do Tiny Tableau Tips on Tuesdays. The alliteration for this sends me to into super happy excited land. So each Tuesday, I'll explore and share a video (via Twitter first) on a tiny Tableau tip. We can even have a Tiny Tableau Tip Twitter Party at 5am eastern (for a few minutes at least). I hope you enjoy this series as much as I do.

This week's video is on the drop down carrot. I hope you enjoy!
