Conditional Formatting of Text and Shapes on Two Different Variables

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Wed, 23 Oct 2013 02:07:27 GMT

Hello,

I have three variables that I would like to display in a table-like format. In my ideal situation, column 1 will feature the identifier (e.g., A, B, C, etc.), column 2 will feature the activity (e.g., High, Moderate, Low), and column 3 will feature the trend (e.g., Decreased, Unchanged, Increased).

The picture below shows my expected output:

I have attached a Tableau export packaged workbook that contains two worksheets labeled 'Activity' and 'Trend'. These have the desired output for columns 1 and 2 and columns 1 and 3, respectively. Unfortunately, I can't seem to meld the two in such a way as to get it to resemble the desired output above for all 3 columns.

My intuition would lead me to believe that a dual mark type setup would work for this, however I haven't been able to coerce Tableau into doing this. Any suggestions on how to get this working would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Chris

Polygon Map Borders

Hello, I am attempting to develop a polygon map with custom regions from latitude / longitude data that were exported from QGIS (Quantum GIS). I would like to keep a border around each of the regions, however there are annoying lines that extend from the vertices toward the center of the earth when I include the borders. When the borders are removed entirely these lines disappear, however I would like to simply keep the borders while removing the vertex lines (please see image below for an example).

Please find an example of this problem in the attached Tableau Workbook. Thanks in advance.
