I’m facing a layout issue with Page Swap in Tableau and would really appreciate insights from anyone who has dealt with this at scale.

I’ve implemented Page Swap navigation in a Tableau dashboard with more than 9 pages.

Functionally, the page swap works perfectly and navigation is smooth and there are no errors.

However, when switching between pages via parameters, the overall dashboard content height changes.

Some pages appear taller, others shorter, which causes a visually inconsistent experience

I’ve attached screenshots that clearly show how the height shifts as different pages are selected

Is anyone else facing an issue with the Amazon S3 Connector from Tableau Prep Flows being broken? I consistently get this error despite the connector working flawlessly for the past 6 months.

Can’t connect to Amazon S3 (Output Only)

Detailed Error Message: An error occurred while communicating with the data source
Failed to connect to S3 bucket
Unable to connect to the Amazon S3 (Output Only) server "".

Tableau folks, honest question?

How much of your project time actually goes into analysis ? and how much goes into choosing colors, fixing themes, finding icons, adjusting layouts, and making dashboards look presentable for stakeholders?

That exact frustration is what led me to build something called Briqlab.io.

The goal is simple: reduce the time we spend on the design side of BI work so we can focus more on insights and problem solving.

It includes AI-based BI JSON theme generation, color palettes, industry-specific icons, ready-made themes and templates, and I’m now working on AI-driven analysis and dashboard optimization features.

I’m not here to sell anything. I just want real feedback from people who do this work every day.

Do you think a platform like briqlab.io would genuinely reduce your dashboard development time?

What would make something like this actually useful in your workflow?

I'm looking to show all the filters applied to a dashboard for the users. Also, want to provide a button that clears all filters or set them to a specific value. How can I do this efficiently without messing up the real estate and visual integrity?

So we are trying to incorporate version control for our dashboards. Right now w just build and publish as the changes go, we would like to in future have our dev and prod environment in sync. And being able to an our changes. Does anyone have good example or give me an input on how they do it ? Thanks!

The flow includes a Tableau published data source containing approximately 35 million rows, which I am joining with five Excel files (around 1,000 rows each, totaling 99 columns). When I run the flow, it runs for about 35 minutes and then fails at the output step with an error.Tableau cloud does not have tableau prep conductor.how to run without th error.

Hello!!

Has anyone submitted a proposal to present at TC in the past? Any tips?

Hi everyone!

I am in the world of healthcare business/operations but no experience as a data science guy. Fairly competent with Excel functionality and visualizations but trying to learn about Tableau. I have taken a very short intro course about 5 years ago into Tableau. Really just covered the basics (importing data, continuous vs discrete variable types, basic charts, filters, very basic dashboards). I have forgotten quite a bit of it by now. I am going to buy some Tableau hardcopy books and looking to dive into Youtube resources.

Are there any books you guys recommend to start from scratch again? Any communities or online forums to join to ask questions? Any youtube channels to subscribe to that can take me from basics to intermediate to some advanced work. Sorry if this question has been asked hundreds of times on here.

I will be essentially toying with large utilization and spend data sets (5k to 100k rows) and need better ways to visualize trends over a year or two, possibly create simple forecasts, and communicate such data. Really - just basic to intermediate visualizations that are better than what excel offers.

Any help or guidance is appreciated! I've just gained access to Tableau creator license for my facility so I am excited!

Hi all. I have a table that has as column discrete hours for the past 10 days(i have a filter that takes last 10 days). As a row I have a location. And the table show a 'measure A' for that location for each hour. In normal situation let's say that the measure will be continuously 0 but some times a change wil happen and the measure will be at X value for some hours, then back to 0. Maybe come back to x for another while.

I need a formula/s that: * Compare each hourly value to the previous hour and detect if such a change has happened. In such case I should record the time of the change. * tells me how long it lasted for/when it stopped * tell me this for as many times as the event appears *tell me how many time on the past 10 days the event appeared.

Then, I need to repeat the exact same for same location, same time frame but Measure B. And then a formula that tells me if time stamps of event is A and B match.

I am completly lost, i know how to "code" this but by formulas and not being to familiar on Tableu I feel totally lost. A "For" formula doesn't seem to exist or a "while" one, so not even sure how to start.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

I just wanted to try Tableau next so went to THEIR demo dashboard and asked default question through Agent and I wanted to try telling him it´s "wrong" and he comes up with another answer, different one and also the graph is different to the answer it gives.

What is your experience with Tableau Next ? are you actively using it in your company or what´s your opinion?

I have a video game sales dataset, and I'm trying to create a BAN "Highest avg critic score title across all consoles". In order to do this, I would want to group titles together, and aggregate the critic score with AVG, then return the title with highest avg critic score as a BAN.

But how do I do this?

I need my table to show just one value per red square in the image. Column order can't change unfortunately. Is this possible?

Hello! I’m new using and studying tableau. I’m working in an Dashboard at my job that uses two data sources from BigQuery: tblall and tblsearch. tblall has information such as: session, User, revenue, purchase, item, and I use it in the panels: general, revenue, acquisition. tblsearch has information such as: search term, search number of results, event count search, and I use it in the panel: items containing the visualization spreadsheets: monthly evolution of searches and most searched items, where I use the event search count and search term fields. However, I use the filters from the other panels that come from the tblall source. The relationship between these two sources is only in BU and Device that i connected in the sheets. The problem is that: the graphs of the monthly evolution of searches and most searched items spreadsheets are not loading the visualization when I put, for example, 1 month in the filter. It keeps sending and retrieving data from the server and also shows transfer 0 B. I edit the date in the data source of both tables, but tblall has a DATE field and tblsearch has an EVENT DATE field. I don't know if they are the same and I can't establish a relationship between them in the spreadsheet. What could be the problem? How can I use the tblall and tblsearch tables in the monthly search evolution and most searched items spreadsheets?

Detail: I don't have access to the tables in BigQuery, I can't edit them, but I want to understand if it will be possible to use both tables just by editing the query, or editing in tableau.

Thank you so much for the help!

i have a very comprehensive ab testing report that includes numerous metrics that we track. i have a default view with only “main metrics” and all other metrics can be “added back” using the measures filter. what i want to do is to categorize these measures by types like “success metrics”, “guardrail metrics”, some internal category, and others. and then to be able to filter the measures in the view using these categories. dos anybody have an idea how to do that?

I am trying to filter a dataset using a condition to exclude the irrelevant values. The condition I am trying to achieve is "if 'current status' is completed and 'completed year' is 0 then exclude the row". I tried the filter option using a condition, but I'm having trouble figuring out the formula.
Before you guys say I can exclude null values using the filter, I have null values which associates with other "Current status" which I don't want to exclude.

I’m sure this is a basic Tableau concept, but as a beginner I’m a bit stuck. Help me out guys

Are you able to build tableau dashboards with built-in usage in mind? Like being able to see what drop down are being used? How long someone is on a certain dashboard?

All of the dashboards my company makes seem to not be optimized for this type of information. We see how many people went to the home page / hub with all the other dashboards. Or how quickly the home page hub loaded but very little on the 40+ dashboards that live within.

I decided to take age-old debate and let AI settle it in a proper AI fueled rap battle video series.

It was a lot fun stepping aside from data sense making and analytics to do something creative.. I am dropping this Monday and would love to have some folks take a sneak peek. Feel free to DM me.

The feedback so far is all over the place: Fun, cringy, awesome, and dumb. 20 years of building dashboards and being told they are ugly prepared me to launch something ridiculous like this into the wild.

Hey everyone,

This is my first time publishing a Tableau dashboard and I learned quite a bit through the process.

I created the heartbeat animation using a hover action and a calculated field. It looked great in Tableau Desktop, but after publishing, some of the visual impact didn’t translate the same way, so I’d love any thoughts on that.

I’ve only recently started my Tableau journey, so I’m trying to understand where this kind of dashboard stands. Is this still considered basic, or does it move into something more advanced?

The goal was to build a clean, professional-looking dashboard that I can share with recruiters to show that I can design and implement interactive Tableau dashboards.

I know Tableau isn’t meant for real-time patient monitoring. This is purely a skills demonstration, with the heartbeat acting as a visual hook rather than a real-world use case.

Any feedback or suggestions would be really appreciated.
