Dashboard Layout Frustrations!

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Tue, 18 Nov 2014 09:49:55 GMT

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone can help?

The dashboard I am working on has a header section with text, pictures and a few filters.

The data area has 2 rows of 3 graphs, and each graph is made up of 3 separate worksheets.

I have also attached a workbook with them setup.

I am having some issues trying to get the layout of a dashboard looking good, it seems almost impossable to get objects layed out and resizing correctly with different screen resoloutions.

I have tried making sure nothing is fixed width however when using multiple worksheets nothing seems to line up correctly.

I have listed a couple of issues below, if anyone has any tips on how to acheive this it would be great.

Header

Pictures should be fairly small, and both should be the same size.

Header section should only take up around 15% of screen height.

Tables

All the worksheets need to look the same, that is the same spacing between them, each section the same size etc.

Regards,

Barry Cowie

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if someone could help with a tricky issue I am having.

I have a range of data, which shows 'Parts Produced' per hr, along with a set of targets.

The requirement is to create a bar chart with the Actual vs Target overlaid on top of each other, for various time periods i.e Last24hrs, LastWeek, LastMonth. When this data is gathered then a RAG status needs to be applied to show if the Acthuals are within a given range.

So far I have managed to get the 'Actuals' and show a bar for each time period on the same chart, however I cannot figure out how to 'overlay' the target bars, and then conditonall color code them.

The attached pciture gives an idea of what I am trying to acheive, has anyone done this sort of thing before etc?

Any help appricated as its starting to drive me insane!

Thanks,
