How to put a title onto Tableau Chart after it was removed - tableau-api

As shown in the screenshot the title Price vs Distance to Work Hubs was unintentionally displaced from the chart to .. off the chart .. So how can it be put back on the chart? Drag/drop does not work..

Drag your title between rows line and starting of worksheet as :

Click on Worksheet
Go to Show Cards
Click on Reset Cards

Here is a workaround that I found:
Right click on the title area and select Hide
On main menu: Worksheet and then select Show title :

Here is an another approach for the same:
1.Right click on the area where Pages Shelf, Filter Shelf and Marks are appeared.
2.A menu appears, Click on Reset Cards

Showing data refresh date in Tableau Desktop

I want to show the date of the data source refresh but I did not find any Tableau function that can help me.
Do you know?
Thanks.
Yes, it can be done. Here are the steps (found here):
Option 1: Add the time stamp to the top of the view
Open the workbook that contains the dashboard in Tableau Desktop, and then navigate to the sheet for which you want to display the time of the last data refresh.
Select Worksheet > Show Title.
Double-click the title.
In the Edit Title dialog box, select Insert > Data Update Time, and then click OK.
Add any field to the filter shelf and leave all selections blank and click OK.
Save the modifications.
Add sheet to dashboard.
Option 2: Add the time stamp to the bottom of the view
Open the workbook that contains the dashboard in Tableau Desktop, and then navigate to the sheet for which you want to display the time of the last data refresh.
Select Worksheet > Show Caption.
Double-click the caption.
In the Edit Caption dialog box, select Insert > Data Update Time, and then click OK.
Add any field to the filter shelf and leave all selections blank and click OK.
Save the modifications.
Add sheet to dashboard.
8 . Right click the sheet and select Caption to show the update time.
These sheets can be sized in the dashboard to take up as much or as little space as necessary. They can also be set up as floating objects so that they do not resize the other sheets in the view.
The easiest way is to:
double click on Title (on the Sheet)
click the Insert button
click Data Update Time

Hide title in tableau view

I want to hide the title("CT School Districts by Income and Grade Level Equivalents, 2009-13") of view when I display it on iframe. Should I change the src?
<iframe src="https://public.tableau.com/views/CTSchoolDistrictsbyIncomeandGradeLevels2009-13/Sheet1?:embed=y&:display_count=yes&:toolbar=n&:showVizHome=no"
width="645" height="955"></iframe>
In the Tableau menu, go to Worksheet and deselect "Show Title". Then re-save and re-publish to the server to get rid of the title.
There is no way to remove title from the shared link.
Just edit and republish dashboard.

How to drag / re-center the displayed Tableau worksheet?

Suppose I wish to focus on the state of Colorado in the following chloropeth map:
The typical mechanism is to use the operating-system dependent means of dragging the picture. I am on OS/X so that involves using two fingers to drag the image to the desired new centering location.
However the actual result of that operation is a bounding box is displayed on the image (I can not get a screenshot of it since it disappears)
So then .. how to drag /re-center the Tableau display?
Click onto the small 'play' arrow button on the chart menu in the top left hand corner. A sub menu will pop up where you can select the scroll method you'd like - click and drag is one of these. You can also disable this through the chart options (the small drop down menu on the top right hand corner of the chart).

Tableau - keeping a sheet static in dashboard

I have 4 sheets that are put up in the tableau dashboard.
Sheet 1: Total no. Of user IDs (population). Text
Sheet 2: total user ids based on selection in sheet 3 and sheet 4.
Sheet 3 & 4: Bar graph of user ids based on company and vendor. Both the sheets are "use as filter"
Sheet 1 has to be static in the dashboard whether we select any filter or when we select any bar on sheet 3 and 4.
Now the issue is when I select any bar on the sheet 3 and 4 both sheet 1 and 2 shows same count.
I have removed all filters from population sheet.
I tried to even ignore action in sheet1, it's still not working
What I want now is what ever the selection is , sheet 1 in the dashboard should be static. Please help.
Regards, Sajan
Try this;
Check the filters on all the sheets to see if they are set to filter the Data Source, set them, to your preferences.
If you can (watch out for sensitive data) upload your sheet to Tableau public, it'll be easier to find your bottleneck.
What's happening is called an automatically generated action. When you click "use as filter" on a sheet on your dashboard, you're creating an action that affects all other items on that dashboard. Go to the Dashboard, then click on the dashboard menu at the top of the screen, then click "Actions..."
You should see the filter that you created there. Select the action, then click "edit".
You should now see something similar to the below picture. What you need to do for each action (you should have two, one from each sheet that is being used as a filter) is uncheck the static sheet on the list of Target Sheets on the bottom half of the Edit Filter Action dialogue box.
This will prevent anything happening to the static sheet (in this case, "Count of Employee Transactions") when you click on the sheets being used as filters.

How does one unhide a lost hidden sheet?

Setup:
I know how to navigate to a hidden sheet from a dashboard and select "Unhide Sheet" by right-clicking on the temporarily revealed sheet's tab. The online documentation from Tableau's website is clear enough.
Question:
However, how can I unhide the sheet if it isn't a part of a dashboard? Put another way, how can I navigate to a hidden sheet if it was hidden before it was added to a dashboard?
Tableau will not allow you to hide a sheet if it is not a part of at least one dashboard. Looking at your dashboard tabs, it may not be immediately clear where the sheet is, but it is there.
You may need to look at the list of sheets in the Dashboard Side Bar for each dashboard, one-by-one, until you find the sheet in question. If the Dashboard Sidebar is not showing, or if you're not certain what it looks like, click "Window" at the top of your Desktop Edition and see to it that "Show Side Bar" has a checkmark next to it.
It is not possible to remove a sheet from a dashboard without unhiding it, or deleting it:
And, the option to hide a sheet which is not part of a dashboard is not available.
By using the tabs in the top right of Tableau Desktop, it may be more easy to identify the sheet which is thought to be hidden
