Is it possible to add multiple (3+) continuous date fields to the same axis in Tableau?

Heidi Dragoo May 25, 2016 12:03 PM

Hi,

I'm trying to build a timeline to show the exact date value of three continuous date fields on one axis. I'm able to buidl a view using two of the date fields with a dual axis and then synchronizing the axes. However, when I attempt to add a third the view doesn't update. Any ideas on if this is possible in Tableau?

Hey Heidi,

While it might seem like Tableau doesn't want to have three+ measures on a dual axis graph, there are some creative ways people have found to accomplish the task:

Heidi, you should be able to add the third date as a reference line to the chart, and the upside is you should be able to add as many reference lines as needed.
