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,

I am experiencing a table formatting issue when loading a new file for August. The first header containing “   |  JPY Clearing / Custody   |    Trade   |  JP Subsidiaries  ” is a free-text field generated from a Calculated Field.

After loading the August file, the header becomes misaligned and I notice slight changes in the font formatting.

However, this issue does not occur when viewing the existing month's data. For example, when I filter the data to June, the table header displays correctly with the expected alignment and font formatting. 

This issue occurs in Tableau Cloud but does not occur in Tableau Desktop, where the table displays correctly. Table Formatting Issue – Header Misalignment and Font Changes When Loading New Month DataFilter-August.png

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 .

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

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

    Have you tried using Tableau's latest version to check if the upgrade option is available? It would be helpful if someone could share the exact steps to convert a .twbx workbook to .hyper without losing any existing work. 

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!

    Thank you so much! Happy Halloween :)

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

Hello, 

 

We have a user who is no longer with the company and hasn't been for sometime and we do not have access to their old license. We would like to move that old license to a new user. Where is the best way to do this? Thanks.

    Some years ago, the preferred method to activate Tableau Desktop and Tableau Prep Builder is to use LBLM.  

     

    So, what is behind Login Based License Management (LBLM) 

    a.  When you activate Tableau Desktop or Tableau Prep using the option of signing into a server, a lease of the license is activated into the computer (default time is 14 days). 

    https://help.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/license_lblm.htm#step-4-activate-tableau-desktop

     

     

    That way if the licensed Tableau Desktop/Prep Builder is not used during 14 days, the license is automatically returned to Tableau Cloud/Server.  If the licensed Tableau Desktop/Prep Builder is used within the 14 day term, the lease is renewed, and a new 14 day term is started. 

     

    After understanding this, what do you need to do?. Probably nothing, the lease of the license probably has ended, the license has returned to Tableau Cloud/Server, and you can activate Tableau Desktop/Prep for your new user. 

     

    If this post resolves the question, would you be so kind to "Accept this Answer"?. This will help other users find the same answer/resolution and help community keep track of answered questions. Thank you.

I want to download Tableau Desktop 2023 version but I am unable to find older releases. I looked into the archive but it is getting redirected to the latest release sites where I am able to find versions post 2024.

    Hi @Praveen Kumar

    You can try downloading Tableau Desktop 2023 from the official Tableau Release page.

    1. Visit the Tableau Desktop Releases page: https://www.tableau.com/support/releases
    2. Look for the 2023 release versions, such as 2023.1, 2023.2, or 2023.3.
    3. If the version is available, select it and download the installer for your operating system.
    4. If the 2023 versions are not listed, sign in to your Tableau account and check the Product Downloads page.
    5. If the required version is unavailable, contact Tableau Support to confirm whether the installer can still be provided.

    Please note that Tableau may remove older versions because of security vulnerabilities or end-of-life policies.

I have created a forecast and upper and lower prediction interval for my organization surrounding our count of hospital admissions.  Is there a way to retain the predicted values after the actual admissions have been occurred?  For example, you'll see in my screenshot that 60 admissions are predicted for today, 10/27/26, with a lower prediction interval of 46 and an upper prediction interval of 75.   

 

Tableau Desktop Forecasts for Tableau Server 2025.3

Tomorrow, once 10/27/26 has passed and we have the actual admission numbers, is there a way that the estimated values can be retained for reference? 

I cannot include the workbook because it contains PHI/PII.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    @Elizabeth Bumgarner

    the screenshot is very helpful, but can you provide some context as to how things are working in the workbook?  

     

    For example, is there a join of actual data (actual admissions) to the forecast data?  Or how is that being produced/handled?   

     

    Can you provide just the calculations being used for the

    forecast

    for each measure (1) No. of Admissions (2) Upper Prediction (3) Lower Prediction.   

     

    Are there filters or parameters being used here as well? 

     

    If you can provide these answers, that may give others some additional context for a possible solution; especially, for a situation whereby we won't be able to have the actual workbook. 

     

    Not sure that I'll be able to respond with a solution, but the added info. may help.
