Hi Friends,

 

This is my first post because I've typically been able to find a similar post for all the issues I've run into, but I cannot find a solution for this one.

 

I am attempting to use the degree unicode character in an axis and data label (ex. 120º) in this tableau public workbook (attached and linked):

 

Tableau Public

 

The character shows up with an underline under the symbol.

 

Unicode character formatting issue in Tableau Public (temperature degree symbol)

 

I have attempted three different ways to solve this:

  1. I used Alt + 0 to get the symbol
  2. I copied from a text editor
  3. I copied a number format I found online (#,##0"º";-#,##0"º")

 

In each of these scenarios, it shows up like this. Any thoughts?

    Josh,

    You can replace your label calculation with

     

    STR( IIF(MAX([Current Month Temp]) = WINDOW_MAX(MAX([Current Month Temp])),MAX([Current Month Temp]),NULL) ) + '°'

     

    ALT-248  to get the degree symbol
