Hi Data family,

I started gathering knowledge from a few websites and youtube videos but I want to get started with dashboard building.

I know I can find the datasets by doing a google/kaggle/data world , but I am not getting all in one or two places.

I found this community today so I thought of checking here if someone can help me.

It would be great if someone can provide the resources for all possible topics. It will help me to spend more time on actual implementation rather than doing google :).

Looking forward to following the community and learning as much as I can from here !!

Hi @Swapnil Shimpi, here are some sites with links to open data that could be worth a look:

You could also check some of the Tableau Accelerator dashboards for data: https://www.tableau.com/solutions/exchange/accelerators

Can i drill down to individual record in a crosstab withine a dashboard

I am building a dashboard and i want to be able to see individual records within the group when i click on a group. The problem is i have a dataset of about 700K records. so when i tried to drill down from the dashboard to the sheet with the crosstab, the system slows down significantly. How can i achieve this or is it even possible?

A set action would likely help here. Check out the walk through for an asymmetric drill down here: https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-gb/actions_sets.htm#asymmetric-drill-down

The other option is a parameter action that drives the asymmetric drill down, but because it relies on strings as opposed to Booleans like a set does, it will run slower: https://www.vizwiz.com/2019/09/parameter-action-drill-down.html

Other than that, take a look at this resource here for increasing workbook performance, which will offer tips outside of your drill-down that may help speed things up: https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/perf_checklist.htm
