Creating Visual Tooltips Anywhere
Anywhere on the dashboard, I mean. This is a sequel to Creating Visual Tooltips.
Seamless Sheet Swapping with Containers
[Update: It is reported the tooltips are not working in 10.4. I tested it in 10.5 and confirmed that it is not working either. Will update if there is a workaround.
I wrote a request for bringing the feature back to new Tableau.
Spatial Analysis via Box Plot
Box Plot is a highly effective tool for data analysis invented by the great statistician Professor John Tukey. It gives us the following things:
- Partition of data by quartile.
- Visual spread of each quartile
- Descriptive statistics: max, min, median, upper & lower quartiles.
Counting Customers Who Bought Both A and B

Counting active orders is equivalent to taking stock. An order is active before it is shipped.
Turning Measure Names into a Dimension

[Measure Names] is sitting in the Dimensions shelf in Tableau. But it is not a true dimension, because we can't do table calculations along it for example.

Visual Pareto Analysis of Spatial Distribution
This is part of my continuous experiment to better visualize spatial data. An earlier of post is here:
Spatial Analysis by Quartile Partitioning
It was a revelation to me when I saw the California population distribution like above.
