1. Re: Placeholder for Null values on HeatMap
Daniel Vincent Nov 4, 2015 4:24 PM (in response to Lucas Brito)1 of 1 people found this helpfulYou need to just create a color calc...something like this:
IF [Y Axis Dimension] = 'Very High' AND [X Axis Dimension] = 'Low' THEN 16
ELSEIF [Y Axis Dimension] = 'Very High' AND [X Axis Dimension] = 'Medium' THEN 15
ELSEIF [Y Axis Dimension] = 'Very High' AND [X Axis Dimension] = 'High' THEN 14
....
END
You just need to go from top to bottom; left to right so that it finds the first instance then moves on. Then it's just a matter of putting in the red palette for your numbers.
Another thing is I would create a calc for your records: ZN(SUM(Number of Records)) that way you have a number regardless. It will create the box needed for the color. May not be fully needed but I'm guessing it is.

2. Re: Placeholder for Null values on HeatMap
Zack Gorman Nov 4, 2015 4:52 PM (in response to Lucas Brito)Hi Lucas,
Instead of manipulating data to make this work as a heat map, I would recommend using background colors on sheets here instead. Since the 'heat-map' in this scenario is going to be static, I wouldn't bother going through the work needed to make it part of your visualization. Here's the easiest way to do it using background colors.
Create sheets within Tableau showing the numbers you'd like to see displayed. You can just apply filters to each sheet so that it only shows the one number for each. Using one large sheet won't work, since there's unfortunately no way to make the sheet background different for different sections. Add each sheet individually to your dashboard, and change the background color of the sheet matches the corresponding color on the matrix it's being added to. Here's a very quick and basic version of how that turns out.Hope this works out for you,

4. Re: Placeholder for Null values on HeatMap
Lucas Brito Nov 9, 2015 10:12 AM (in response to Zack Gorman)Zhach,
I had thought about this solution, but i have 3 of these matrixes on my view, so i would need at least 30-40 individual sheets to accomplish this result. My approach at this moment is to add a static background image, and plot the values on the screen using the geo coordinates of the image. Not sure whether it will work 100% yet, but hopefully will help in developing an "easier" solution to manage.
Thanks for your help.
