Update: Tableau 8.2.4 partially fixed the problem. Still, the fix is biased towards high color. The center is not respected some times. Filed a further bug.

Tableau 8.2.2 fixed some bugs but some are still persisting as chronicled in

Color Range Definition (2): Tableau bug partially fixed in 8.2.2

Color Range Definition (1): a bug in Tableau color editor

Its Tableau case ID is 00742792.

I found some more problems in color range definition. To be precise, it's in the definition of center value under diverging color palette.

We will illustrate using an example where the center value is fixed at 10. Assume that we use a red-green diverging color palette and select the full color range option.

1.Start=9,Center=10,End=11

Use this setting and we get a simple bar chart as below.

I am using Tableau to visualize its own inner working.

I am trying out this new feature Story in Tableau by making a stack of worksheets and dashboards, reminiscent of Microsoft PowerPoint. To me, the story feature is creating a higher hierarchy: Story>Dashboard>Worksheet. 

My first quick stab: International Students in USA's top 25 places of origin. http://t.cn/RhLXb2U

Certainly much improvement and thinking are yet to be added.
