I would like to display a worksheet only after an action has been made. For example: Click from a button on another worksheet.
Create a parameter with 4 values and select default value as blank
Place all sheets on a dashboard and add the parameter as a filter in all worksheets.
Create one more worksheet with 3 options and add action filters to other worksheets.
Now place all on dashboard, change parameter value and the check the data.

I'm creating a dashboard on Tableau and I want to have a set of navigation buttons that correspond with the sheets I've created. When a button is clicked I want the corresponding sheet to be displayed on my dashboard instead of navigating to the sheet itself. I want all of the sheets to be displayed in the same place on my dashboard. For example, If button 1 is clicked I want sheet 1 to be displayed on my dashboard. If button 2 is clicked I want sheet 2 to be displayed on the dashboard in the same place. I'm new to Tableau and would appreciate any help with this!
The easiest way to achieve this is using parameters.
As a first step you need to creat a parameter with a list of values matching the number of worksheet, like: Worksheet 1, Worksheet 2, etc...
Then you have to create N calculated fields in order to check if the "actual" worksheet is the one "selected in the parameter", using "ok" and "ko" as results for your filters, keeping just "ok".
The formula could be something like this (assuming you're doing the CF for the 1st worksheet, and the other ones differ just for the value):
if parameter = 'Worksheet 1' then 'ok' else 'ko' end
Doing so, all you're worksheets will present data just one at a time because all of them but the one matching the valus in parameter will be blank.
Then you can create your dashboard putting a vertical (horizontal as well if you like) container in it which will be the the "place" where you'll drag all your worksheets.
Be sure to NOT modify the spacing and height of them; just le tableau handle that for you, otherwise the trick won't work.
Once you're finished you will end up having a container with N worsheets in it, with just one of them dysplayed at once.
Once you'll become familiar with parametr actions, you will no longer need to have the parameter displayed on the dashboard (show parameter) because using a worksheet connected to the parameter values you will be able to decide the value of the parameter via click on your additional worksheet acting like a series of button (woeksheet 1, worksheet 2, etc...)

Looking for a solution to how to show All in Dashboard or sheet title. Along with the Title i am adding Country Name in the title. It works perfectly for individual selection but when all countries are selected i need to show All rather than name of all the countries.
The alternative that gives you the most control is to create a worksheet that displays the text you want, and position this worksheet in place of the title on the dashboard.
Same goes for filters and legends. If you don't like how the stock ones behave, make a worksheet that looks and behaves as you prefer, and use that worksheet as a substitute for the stock filter or legend.
There is an easy fix, i had not selected show "All" Values from the customize filter drop down.
Im trying to implement several rules for a form, based on a selection of some multiple selection list boxes. Im customizing a form for a existing SharePoint list by clicking on "Customize Form" in SharePoint. First of all, the choice fields on the list (multiple selection) are oddly binded in InfoPath:
I cant change the variable's name "Value" and Real Estate Categories should not be a required field. (*)
On one view I have a "Business Unit Purchase" box that is a multiple selection box (choice) and there is a next button. The next button should only be availiable when a selection is made.
So I tried to the following rules for the Next Button:
Rule Type Action:
IF Value (of Business Unit Pruchase) is not blank -> Switch to next view
This works properly, but now i wanted to disable the next button when nothing is the text box was selected, because it makes it more clear to have a selection beofre ist possible to go on. So I tried this:
Rule Type Formatting:
IF Value is blank -> disable this control
This disables the button as wanted when the multiple text box has not any items selected, but after selecting one or more, nothing happens. Is there any reason why this does not work?
Normally when a selection is made, the field "value" of "Business Unit Purchase" should contain one or more strings and therefor should not be blank anymore.
A multiselect list box almost always contains one blank element entry unless it has been manually removed (e.g. via code).
Because of this, the condition Value is blank will almost always be true.
To remedy this, use the dropdown in the Condition builder's field selection dialog to set up your condition as:
All occurrences of Value are blank -> Disable this control
If you do this, the control should be enabled when one or more items are selected.
how to get or assign the Master report variable value into subreport variables ?
If you are using iReport in your subreport properties look for the Parameters property and click the button on the right of the text box.
This will open an input box.
Click the Add button in this box and add the parameters you require.
