Why does manually hiding a row override the 'Show Empty Rows' or columns settings?
I have a row that I need to hide in a trended analysis, as it is a catch all bucket for things that failed to be categorized, this analysis is focused on certain sub-categories and scenarios. Basically, the category is 'Normal', so there's no desired to show it in this sheet as it is shown in a different sheet in the same dash. However, I don't want the dashboard re-configuring constantly as users filter, so I want this 'Normal' row hidden permanently always, but want to always show the other 5 categories. However, when I hide this row, it seems to override the 'Show Empty Rows' setting. It seems to work fine in some sheets but not this one and I don't understand what's wrong. Please advise if there are known issues with this setting that can be worked around. I'm having a similar issue with the columns, as I am only showing quarter ends, and would like to not have the columns shrink just because I filter on a newer product grouping with less history, but applying the 'Show Empty Columns' setting seems to show the columns in between the quarter ends, not just the quarter ends passing the filter with no values.
First, user needs to click : Color Path by: Let's say the user clicks "Airlines"
Then, the selection 1 should be all airlines and selection 1 should be blue color
Selection 2 cannot be the same as selection 1 (For example, I choose Airline X in the selection 1, Airline X can't appear in the selection 2 and 3)
Selection 3 cannot be the same as selection 2 and 1
Others = Grey
Notes
Additional complexity in my dashboard vs the example from Tableau Public:
My dashboard has a case statement that can be tricky when we add the parameter for the color.
In Kevin's example, he only added the players in the parameter. But, since I'm using CASE statement, parameter won't work because it won't be updating based user's selection
Is there any way to do this? or maybe a better solution for UX experience?
I have open ended survey responses with a large variation in word count. I only know how to accommodate the longest response by setting the cell height for the entire table to this value. This wastes an enormous amount of space and make the table unreasonable huge.
How can I make the cell height vary according to the amount of text contained therein?
Question about filtering in side-by side bar chart
I am trying to create a side by side bar chart, where there is one bar for state (black bar) based on the variable Varilab and then multiple bars for region (gold bar) show up based on the filter. Rightnow, every time I add a region from the filter, it repeats the state bar (black bar) as well. Is there a way to do this? Thank you for your guidance.
When you open Tableau Desktop today (2/16/2024), you now see this in the lower right corner:When you click on the link, you get this page: https://www.tableau.com/support/services#supported-versions which shows that the current version 2024.3 is no longer supported as of yesterday:
WTF Tableau? It's bad enough that you're knowingly releasing Cloud updates that break existing Desktop workbooks. Even if this is a typo and not part of a new policy to discontinue support before the next release comes out, this isn't reassuring your paying customers that you know what you are doing.
And like Eleanor would say, "this is torture.... THIS is the Bad Place".
I've been a fan of Tableau Desktop since 2018 and a supporter of Tableau Online (Cloud) for many years. Something has definitely changed in the past few years - don't know if it was the Salesforce acquisition or just general cost cutting of engineering resources to squeeze more profit to the bottom line... but this is not a sustainable winning strategy.
