How to write a Community Idea that Tableau Devs & Program Managers will look at
Tableau Developers and Program Managers are always looking at the Ideas section of the Community for inspiration and a look into the type of features that people who use Tableau are looking for.
It's a great way to see all the different use cases, scenarios and problems that Tableau users run into. In order to provide them with an idea that they can act on and make the most sense of, there are a couple of different questions to answer each time an idea is created.
Here are a couple of questions that are always good to include...
✏️ What is your idea?
Example: Provide data-driven alerts on Tableau Server.
💬 What problem are you trying to solve or what scenario would this idea solve?
Example:
I know if an extract refresh fails without having to sign in
I know about low disk spaces without checking
We reduce time between an event and our ability to take action
Tableau users don't waste time constantly checking vizzes to see if something happened
♻️ What workaround have you found and used so far (if any)?
Example: I've created a script that sends me email alerts.
👤 What is your role in your organization?
Example: I'm a Server Admin.
The more information that is provided in an idea💡, the more the Dev Team has to work off of and hopefully deliver!
I have a client's requirement to sort the dimensions by the sum of sales but also keep 'Others' at the bottom in all the levels in my hierarchy. In the attached workbook, I have 3 level hierarchy i.e. Category-Subcategory-Product Name. In the real Scenario, I have 5 5-level hierarchy.
I want to sort all these dimensions by the sum of sales with Others at the bottom.
One option would be to create a specific measure for each dimension that will sort "Others" to the bottom. In this example I've just said for "Others" return 0 rather than Sales. You'd need to pick a value that was always going to be lower than the other sales (or you could try a FIXED LOD instead to get the MIN and subtract 1).
Workbook attached - you'll see the two calcs used if you edit sort order on each of the pills on Rows. Let me know if it helps!
How to get discount on Tableau Certified Data Analyst

Performance Issues with Large Datasets – Any Optimization Tips?
Hi everyone,
I’ve been using Tableau for a while now, and it’s been an incredible tool for visualizing and analyzing data. However, I’ve recently run into some performance issues when working with large datasets. The dashboards are becoming sluggish, and it’s taking longer to load and interact with the data.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you optimize Tableau to handle large datasets more efficiently? I’ve already tried extracting the data and using filters, but I’m wondering if there are other best practices or settings I should be aware of.
While researching this issue, I came across this resource from Delta Executor. It got me thinking—maybe there’s a way to tweak my system or workflow to improve Tableau’s performance. Has anyone here tried similar approaches or tools?
Also, if there are any Tableau-specific tips or features (like data source optimizations or dashboard design best practices) that could help, I’d really appreciate your advice!
Hi, I need week over week calculations in my workbook so I have created a set thanks to the help of the community. However, because I want to exclude some dates and don't want these dates to appear in my workbook at all, I wonder how I can exclude null value in my set. I've looked up online and saw there's only tutorials on how you can remove null value from filters... Thanks for the help!
How do I keep all the other calculations the same but just exclude the null value from set options? P.S. I have to create a 'week' calculation field. This is a simplified workbook of my actual problem. I have non-periodic time intervals so I can't use the default week filter in tableau so all my calculation fields, sets. etc. are necessary
