Different Mark Type for each Measure Name

Sudam Shetty Jan 14, 2013 3:31 PM

Is it possible to have different mark types ( Line, bar and Area) for each measure name?

e.g. I have the following measures selected in my Measure Name filter:

1. Demand

2. Shipments

3. Forecast

4. Inventory

I am trying to display all these measures across a period of time using different a different Mark.

i.e Demand as Line chart, Shipment as Bar, Forecast as Area....

Hi Sudam,

This is possible. However, it depends on your view. If you have multiple measures on the rows shelf, for example, right click on each measure and select Mark Type>desired mark type.

Hope this helps! If not, can you post a screenshot or your twbx so we can see what you're working with?

If I add all four individual measures on the row shelf I get 4 different axis. At the most I can move one of the measures on the row shelf and have dual axis. It seems tableau only allows 1 mark per axis.
