How to dynamically hide a dashboard zone based on a filtered Mission ID?

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a Tableau dashboard where users select a Mission ID using a filter dropdown.

Some Mission IDs are milestone-based, while others are not.

I have a field [Milestone Rank], and the condition for a milestone-based Mission ID is:

COUNTD([Milestone Rank]) > 0

I have a separate dashboard section containing several milestone-related charts. What I want is:

  •  If the selected Mission ID is milestone-based → show the milestone section. 
  •  If the selected Mission ID is not milestone-based → completely hide the milestone section. 
  •  When the section is hidden, I also want the empty space to collapse, rather than leaving a blank area. 
  •  The Mission ID list comes from the database, so new Mission IDs can be added over time. 
  •  Ideally, I want to keep the Mission ID as a filter dropdown, rather than requiring the user to manually change another Show/Hide parameter. 

I tried using Dynamic Zone Visibility, but Tableau does not show my Boolean calculated field as an available value for “Control visibility using value.”

I also tried a Boolean parameter for Show/Hide, but then the user has to manually change the parameter every time they select a different Mission ID, which isn't practical.

Is there a way to make Dynamic Zone Visibility respond automatically to the selected Mission ID while keeping the Mission ID as a filter?

If not, what would be the recommended Tableau approach for achieving:

Mission ID filter → detect whether milestone exists → automatically show/hide a dashboard zone → collapse the space when hidden?

Thanks!

    This is an interesting Tableau challenge. Dynamic Zone Visibility can be tricky when its visibility logic depends on filtered data rather than a manually controlled parameter. Using a calculated field and testing the filter interaction carefully could help identify a practical solution. For additional gaming-related resources, you can also explore  krnl executor apk .

How to label the measures in desired location in blended axis chart?

Hello. 

 

I have a simple blended axis chart, as shown below: 

 

How to label the measures in desired location in blended axis chart?

 

In this chart, I want to accurately label "sum(sales)," "sum(profit)," "profit ratio," and "sum(quantity)" at desired location.  All categories should be labeled in the specified locations. For example, in the "Technology" category, at location (1), I want to label "sum(sales)," which is 839893 (in orange). At location (2), I want to label the sum(profit) and Profit ratio, which is 146543, and 146543/839893= 17.4%, both in blue color. At location (3), I want to label sum(quantity), which is 7017 in red color.  

 

How to do that? Workbook attached. 

 

Thanks,  Tom

Tableau Server repeatedly becomes degraded with Vizdata Native Serives crashing

We have been experiencing recurring Tableau Server degradation on our production environment running Tableau Server 2025.3.3.  

We have observed multiple service crashes and the server occasionally enters a degraded state.

  • Mainly Vizdata Native service instances have entered an error state
  • VizQL Server instances have also experienced crashes, although they recover and come back up
  • Windows Event Viewer shows the following application errors:
  1. vizdataservice.exe crashed with exception code(access violation) with jemalloc identified as the faulting module.
  2. run-vizqlserver.exe crashed with exception code(heap corruption) with ntdll identified as the faulting module
  • The crashes have occured at different times, across multiple Tableau processes

We have reviewed some of the service logs and crash files, but we have not yet identified a definitive root cause. We are investigating whether this could be related to Tableau Server build, a shared dependency, memory management, data source activity or any other underlying issue. 

Questions: 

1. Has anyone experienced similar recurring crashes or degraded status on Tableau Server? 

2. Could these errors be related to a product build, a specific workload or a shared dependency? 

Any suggestions or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you in advance!

    Hi @Ashika Shetty

     

    honnestly a .3 maintenance release is not optimal. Could be a bug or undesired effect. You should test the latest maintenance release of 2025.3 and compare. 

    That being said, you are not sharing much information about your server host and topology and load pattern. Tableau Server is designed to consume from 95% to 100% of all available resources (CPU / RAM / Disk drive) in case some heavy or expensive load is triggered. So to administrate a Tableau Server properly, ideally you should have monitoring in place that tells you at the moment of the crash, how many users were connected, how much CPU and RAM was being consumed by each Tableau process, and how much space there was left. Then you can understand where is the pain point. If you don't have any monitoring in place, a good start would be to load the TS logs into Logshark utility:

Labeling certain categories in a stacked bar chart

Hi all,

 

I wish to label a certain category of data in a stacked bar chart. Using the superstore data example below I want to just label the Technology category with the sames amount.

 

I am aware that I can label the Technology category by choosing selected labels within the Labels mark but the problem is that my data is daily so I'd prefer not to avoid having to select each new Technology data point each morning.

 

Is there a way that I could label just the Technology category and leave the other two unlabeled?

 

Thanks

    Hi John,

     

       Sure ! The easiest way is creating a calculated field called "Label 1 only" with the following code

     

    Sum ( If [Category] = "Technology" Then [Sales] END )

     

    You need to place this in the Label Shelf.

     

    What this does is only show the Label values if the above condition is met . Hope this answers your

    problem and was helpful. Best Wishes  and Toodeloo !

     

    Sincerely,

What Are Some Creative Ways to Present Personal Milestone Data in Tableau Public?

Hi everyone!

I'm interested in learning how to create engaging and visually appealing dashboards in Tableau Public. I think presenting everyday topics through charts and interactive visualizations can be a great way to practice data storytelling.

For example, it could be interesting to visualize trends related to special occasions, such as anniversaries, celebrations, or popular greeting themes. For anyone looking for ideas for anniversary-related content, these anniversary wishes provide an example of a topic that could inspire a simple content analysis project.

My question is: What chart types or dashboard features would you recommend for presenting this kind of data clearly? Would you use a timeline, bar chart, map, or interactive filters?

I'd appreciate any suggestions, examples, or tips from the Tableau Public community. Thanks!

    Hey Joy, a timeline sounds like a good fit here. I'd add some interactive tooltips with photos or short notes for each milestone. Could make it feel more like a story than just another dashboard.

How can I upgrade .twbx workbooks to .hyper workbooks?

For more information, this is the exact error I am receiving. I am able to open the data (.twbx file) in Tableau Desktop but cannot save/update the version to .hyper. The link is not helpful either as it only brings me to the Tableau Feed. Please help! 

 

Live and extract connection with .tde files have been deprecated. To upgrade .tde files to .hyper, please follow instructions at https://community.tableau.com/s/feed/0D58b0000CQKAUbCQP

Tableau dashboard scroll position resets to end of page

Hi all! 

 

I am experiencing an issue with my Tableau dashboard scroll position. When I navigate to different tabs on my dashboard, the scroll position will reset to the bottom of the dashboard. It does not matter if I have scrolled to the bottom or not when on the current page.  

 

I am using Tableau Desktop to build, Tableau Public to publish, and am embedding the dashboard on a private company-wide site. The issue reproduces on Tableau Public and embedded on my private company site. I have published dashboards using these steps before, and have not run into this issue before.

 

I have managed to rule out the following solutions:

  • Dashboard device view (ex: preview, desktop, default)
  • Dashboard navigation buttons are at the very top of my page
  • Issue reproduces on Tableau Public and embedded on my private company site
  • Each dashboard page is around the same dimensions
    • I have not experienced this issue with the scroll bar with dashboard pages of different dimensions previously, so I strongly believe this is not the issue
  • To test, I uploaded a dashboard that I built on Tableau Desktop, published to Tableau Public to publish, and embedded on a private company-wide site without this issue
    • My result was that I experienced the same issue with the scroll bar when this was not previously present :(

 

Does anyone have any advice for this issue? Thank you!

Question about missing hist_view_access activity-log events

Hi There,

I’m querying activity-log data through the TCM API for our Tableau Cloud sandbox site in us-east-1, but I’m not receiving any " hist_access_view " events—even though users are accessing reports.

I’m also trying to retrieve only site-related event types. Could this filtering affect whether those events are returned, or is there a known issue with activity logs for this region? 

 

Thanks, 

 Raju

    Hi @raju Prasad,

    Filtering by site event types should not hide hist_access_view events. These are the most likely causes:

    1. Wrong endpoint. Tenant events use a GET on /tenants/{tenantId}/activitylog, and site events use a POST on /tenants/{tenantId}/sites/{siteId}/activitylog with a request body. Site event types sent to the tenant endpoint return nothing. tableau
    2. Event name. Your title says hist_view_access and your message says hist_access_view. The name must match the Site Event Type Reference exactly.
    3. Date range. Timestamps show when records became available, not when the events happened. Try a wider range. tableau
    4. License. The default edition updates logs once a day, while Advanced Management, Enterprise and Tableau+ update in under 15 minutes. Please confirm your sandbox site’s license. tableau

    Try the request without the event type filter first. If other events appear, the filter or name is the problem. I could not find a known issue for us-east-1.

    If it still fails, please share your endpoint, request body (hide any IDs or tokens) and date range.

Composable Data Sources - renaming Logical Tables

I have 14 data sources published from Tableau Prep onto Tableau Cloud. I've brought these into Tableau desktop (v2026.2) to use with a Relationship data model. Tableau Desktop is then renaming the logical table as Migrated Data, Migrated Data1. Migrated Data2 etc. When I open a new sheet all I see for the different data sets is the Migrated Data# and not the original names. I've looked everywhere and I can't see anyway of renaming/aliasing these names. They're not very intuitive :-) Is there a way of renaming the logical tables into something more meaningful?

    Hi Deepak, thanks for the reply :-) 

     

    I think it's Tableau Desktop that is naming the logical table as it's being named and numbered in the order in which I add the data sources. Clicking on the data source dropdowns in the Data Source pane just gives the option of Replace or Delete. The EO20021_BD_DVP... name is correct but the Migrated Data logical table name is what is shown once I go into a new sheet
