Dear Lovely Folks in Here.

 

I am on a STEEP Tableau learning curve but still very much a fresh faced (and slightly more gray haired) incomer so please be gentle with your answers...

 

I have generated two maps, one global and populated with data, and a second of just specific regions of the USA, which i have generated and saved. Now I need to layer them both on top of each other to show the world map, but the USA showing sub-regions.

 

Full outer join just crashed everything (my mess up somewhere) so I decided to build separate maps and combine them.

 

I have tried dual axis maps but cannot combine them as they are in separate worksheets and in dashboards I assumed it was to make one float on top of the other and map them both opaque. I have followed the instructions to make the sheets opaque but it doesn't seem to map the map figure opaque, just the surrounding area of the worksheet. I do think this must be the easiest way of doing this but what am I missing?

 

How do I make the background to maps opaque?

 

Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Kerry-Ann,

     

    Did you ever find a solution for this? If you didn't please could you share a sample workbook with us? (with redacted/dummy data if needed).

     

    It would be super useful for us to review the structure of your data, the connections etc to see whether we'd need that join or if there's something that can be done in the view itself.

     

    Thanks,
