I'm going to build a presentation for colleagues who aren't very familiar with Tableau. Some are rusty and some are coming straight from Excel.

I want to show them the tips and tricks that give a great bang for your buck for beginners. I'll also send them links to my favourite websites for Tableau, tips for a Google Search that gives relevant results and the data-viz-blog-feed I imported from the Public Tableau Group.

I was thinking of:

• Pause the visualization update
• The "Back" button
• Apply filters to multiple sheets
• Filters that show only relevant values
• Folders for dimensions and measures
• Changing Data type/Geographic properties
• Combine fields
• Building grouped fields using the "Other" group and "Search within group"
• Exclude/Keep only
• Custom colors
• Introduction to Parameters (mostly use cases rather than building one with them, I think)

Is there any other tip/trick you think could be useful? Anything in my list that shouldn't be there?
