Others have asked this question before, but no one has provided an actual answer to it. I can't get all of the marks/labels to display in my Tableau visualizations.
Selecting "allow labels to overlap" does not fix the problem. That displays several hidden labels for the smallest of the areas, and it places those labels at the top of the bars, ignoring the formatting that sets the labels to the bottom. However, whether or not that option is checked, the empty areas in the screen shot stay empty. And those areas are clearly large enough to display the missing labels without encroaching on any other label.
I'm guessing this is a bug in Tableau because there's no reasonable explanation as to why this is happening, but I'm new to Tableau and unsure how to address this.
While I can offer no explanation, this has been a reported problem for several years. Tableau's own documentation states to check the Allow marks to overlap checkbox, yet that doesn't always work.
I don't know if it's a bug so much as it is a complicated calculation for the rendering engine to determine what will and won't fit into a space. To the human eye it will fit but it's possible the underlying calculations inside Tableau don't see it that way. I find that particularly on dual-axis charts (like yours) this happens more frequently. I've done two things to get around it when it comes up:
Change font family or font size
Put more info into the tooltips so the end user sees the data when they hover.
If you wish to pursue this as a bug, you will need to contact Tableau Support and file a case. They will ask you to submit a twbx file to reproduce the issue.
I hope that helps.
Label -> Font -> Automatic solved the problem for me
You can select individual marks, right click to pop up a menu, and specify whether to always hide or always show the labels for the selected marks (overriding the default behavior)

First of all, my Crystal Reports is in Portuguese which is my mother language. So I am sorry in advance.
I am trying to use Mailing Labels from Crystal Reports to have multiple columns. I was able to set it up and I do it on the Design Mode, but when I change to the Preview Mode labels won't replicate.
This is how set it on the Preview Mode:
This is how it shows on the Preview Mode:
I think I've tried everything, changed all the properties, but I can't understand why it is not working. If you look at my Section Expert of Details and even though it is in Portuguese I don't think there is nothing wrong.
Here it is the Layout properties:
I don't know if there's any tip you could give me, but I would appreciate it so much.
Change the sort direction option from vertical first and Horizontal second to Horizontal First and Vertical Second.
Make sure your report has multiple records.
I see only 5 labels even that i have 6 options - how can i solve it? the Malicious Bots are not shown in the labels.
You can't see them because there no space available and so Tableau suggest you to not show it.
If you want to see it anyway, you can go to the Label mark of your worksheet, and check the flag "allow label to overlap".
Remember that selecting a specifc slice you can move the label, but I would not reccomend it if your chart may change due to filters.
Hope you can help.
I have attached my workbook. Basically, I have made swapping sheets. The sheets have different filters, and I need the filters to disappear depending on the sheet showing.
I have no problem with the sheet swapping. I been going through the internet for hours, without finding a good solution. I did look into this: New series of videos on swapping and popping on a dashboard(https://vimeo.com/294170859), but did not find it that helpful since it is not very flexible and too difficult to use if you have many filters, that need to change.
I have some kind of an Idea, of putting my filters in each of their container, and then have the container showing depending the sheet but do not how either.
But in the end, the filters needs to appear in the same spots too.
But I really need your help - Simply can't find a good solution!
Thank you!
Without putting your filters in containers and swapping those I can't think of any alternative way to alter which filters appear on your dashboard.
I don't know the exact specifics of your task, however, having perhaps faced similar issues almost always the best solution is to simplify. If possible instead of swapping sheets consider a new dashboard and just "show sheets as tabs". Altering a parameter is a click, just as clicking a dashboard tab - so no difference to the user. Also changing filters may be confusing to a user - they generally get used to seeing things in a certain place.
Of course none of this may apply to your specific situation.
I would like to know if I can set a label to a hierarchical dimension, because If I have 2 dimensions, it will show like below:
That seems not beauty, so, there is a way to change this with a label or something in qlik sense?
Thanks, any ideas?
1. Unlink the Visualization
In the edit panel, click the chain icon and accept to unlink it from the master dimensions. This will allow you to edit the label accordingly.
Of course, this removes it as a master dimension so you it might not be the best if you have numerous sheets using the same chart.
2. Add the Label in the Master Visualization
I don't know what the rest of your app looks like, and I've found this to be finicky sometimes so it may not work --play around with it though.
While editing the master table, experiment with using ="Your Label Here" in the titles of the measures.

I'm having some problems in displaying elements in different regions.
After installing and using Croogo for a while, I made several trials
adding custom elements and custom menus. If I choose region
'right' (being the default region for elements used by Croogo once
installed) everything is fine and I'm able to add anything I want
without any problem.
Anyhow when I choose any other region to display my element (header,
footer, left) nothing is displayed (looking at the source of the page
I noticed the element is not even rendered).
Am I missing something? How can I actually use different regions to
display elements/blocks?
I'm also a bit confused about the 9 regions (named regionX with
X=[1,..,9]) available along with header, footer, left, right. What's
their purpose? Do they actually represent a region on the screen or
they have been left not configured?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
You probably need to adjust your theme.json so that the desired regions is loaded.
