Legend not aligning to bottom horizontally while printing pdf or image.

Hi All,

I am using Tableau 9, so once I try to export my graph from the worksheet using Worksheet -->Export-->Image, It gives me 4 options to select for color legend. However when I select the one which shows the legend horizontally aligned, I don't see any change in the image exported. Please help.

Thanks,

Vivek

It would help if you provided some example screenshots and a Tableau Packaged Workbook.

After exporting to image, I selected the legend style which shows horizontal.

However legend is still in vertical.

Thanks for your reply.

The option you're selecting does not control how the items within the legend are display across the page. Rather, it controls the display of how multiple legends would appear - across the page or down the page.
If you want to adjust the display of the items within the legend, you need to create a dashboard, place the legend in the appropriate place, edit the legend and select "Arrange Items" then select one of the options i.e. Single Row.

Got it. Thank you for the reply.

However I would like to suggest to include this feature in the worksheet itself so that a simple job to export image with this format of legend is not made difficult.

Thanks,
Vivek

Feel free to suggest it, but this isn't the right place to do so
