Vizible Difference

The 100% Stacked Bar Chart is the one where each segment is a percentage, which adds up to 100%. 

Someone asked me recently how to sort the bars according to a segment's percentage. I thought it must be easy: Just google it. Then I tried myself and didn't find a satisfactory reference. So I decided to write one. In the process I did get inspirations from these two sources: Sorting a stacked bar chart using a parameter and a solution by Zhouyi Zhang in the Tableau's community site. Here I am going to present two solutions: using LOD (Level of Details) and Table Calculations.LOD vs Table Calculations

Both are good for implementing most of Tableau designs. One or the other, depends on our choice. The main difference is:

LOD: It's context sensitive.

Kan(view)ban(board) has been used as a visual process management tool by Toyota since 1940s. Nowadays, it is widely adopted beyond manufacturing industry, especially in agile software development.

I first used Kanban board on Jira platform from Atlassian. I never thought I would need to design it in Tableau because it doesn't have many visual elements. However, I have been part of a few dashboard designs for project management.

To have multiple bars and lines with categories in the same worksheet has been hard with Tableau. This request has come up from time to time. Dual axis won't cut it. With the new layering technology, it becomes possible. Inspired by Tableau Zen Master Adam McCann's exemplary Zoomable dashboard, I created this little quick-and-dirty demo dashboard laying lines and bars over each other.

This is about a particular kind of data blending.

How many approaches of data blending do you know? 

Never mind. I know 3 approaches to blend them. There may be more. Tell me if you know any.

My understanding of data blending is: More than one data source is being used in the worksheet. Whenever I see an orange label on a data source or pill, some kind of blending is taking place.

Here are the 3 that I know. Note that the first two are based on relationships. The 3rd is not.
