1. Re: Popping filters with blank on the right

The "push" always pushes to the right. Containers work in a left-to-right order.
If you want something to pop onto the left side of the dashboard, position the popping container with a negative x-axis number so it is off the dashboard (this is legitimate to do), and so that some portion is off the dashboard and some portion is on the dashboard. When the pop-out sheet expands, it will push the object into the boundaries of the dashboard and it will be viewable.
I can't get to an example right now, but I'll be back later in the day to find one if that explanation doesn't do it for you.

Hi John - this is more or less just a functionality of how Tableau works. Sheets generally cascade UP and LEFT, not DOWN and RIGHT.

Or, try the reverse.
Position the popping container so that the data sheet overlaps some of the container. When you want the object to pop out, have the popping sheet actually contract (or pop IN), which will allow the filter to slide from under the sheet and into view.

6. Re: Popping filters with blank on the right
John Conlon Jul 26, 2016 1:19 PM (in response to Joe Oppelt)Thanks for the example, Joe. I was hoping that I could get the filter to come in from the right side of the dashboard with the blank sheet on the right, but as you and Ben Neville pointed out I can't push the filter from the right. I'll just use a blank spacer in the filter menu and push it down from the top.
Thanks,
John
