1. Re: How can I export my Dashboard to a PDF based on a filter?
Steve Mayer Feb 23, 2016 1:56 PM (in response to Olivia Lackey)If you have Tableau Server, you can pass filter values (such as your transaction identifier) on the URL to your Viz on Tableau Server and it will return a PNG or PDF based on your filter value. Here is a blog post that outlines the solution (you can substitute PDF for PNG to generate PDFs).
Tableau Tip: Passing filters in a URL (to create a dynamic report in PowerPoint)
You can also take it a step further and automate the PDF generation using tabcmd - this requires learning some scripting, but uses the same URL method described above.
If you just have Desktop, you would have to manually change the filter, print to PDF, rinse & repeat for each transaction.
Hope this helps,
