By default it's the maximum value for columns and rows is set 6 but you can increase the same upto 16. Check the following link:

Controlling Row and Column Concatenation | Tableau Software

Then probably you should use descending sorting for the required table.Check the following:

Hi Mark:

If you can post an example TWBX utilizing Superstore Sales, or another sample data set, as well as a mockup of your expected results for that data, I will be happy to take a look.

Conditionally formatting in Tableau can be difficult when approaching it from how other tools work.  A great resource for learning and understanding what is possible can be found below (be sure to download the workbook so you can read/study the captions in each sheet)

Mark:

Its a little bit tricky, but based on your questions you are looking to highlight or visualize if the value in a column is the max. This is what I have and hope this helps and what you are looking for.

Hey KK - how would you modify this calculation to get the do a window_max for the individual columns (age) here? Workbook 10.2.1 attached.

thx in advance?

Hi Joshua,

How did you solve this problem?

Thanks in advance

Mafalda

Joshua-

Keep the Window_Max field on color, but set it to compute using Table (down)...

Hi,

Can you please share the code for window_max. Ican not open your file, as I am using Tableau Public.

Thanks
