I have a Pareto chart that I am trying to remove the "%" sign on the Y axis and the word "Percentage", but im not able to find the settings to remove or hide this.
In the Design tab, select the secondary axis, i.e, the axis with the percentages.
Be sure to deselect the Show Axis Title option, it will dessapear the Percentage title.
Now go to Secondary Vertical Axis Properties... option.
Go to Number tab and select Number option. It will format the axis labels to show only numbers without %.
Let me know if this helps.

I am working on a butterfly chart. I create a center zero axis with "Text" type. Everything goes fine, except for one thing.
The width of the center axis is too broad, I want to change the width. But I don't know how to do it.
If I shrink the center axis, left and right are also shrunk. It seems the ratio of width is fixed.
Here is my demo workbook on Tableau Public.
Thanks for any help.
I was able to recreate your butterfly chart following the steps below.
"Concatenated by Dashboard
To shrink the middle margin, we can use a dashboard to concatenate instead of a single worksheet.
Divide into three Worksheets: right-click on the sheet tab and duplicate three copies. Remove the other parts in each worksheet.
Create a Dashboard and concatenate three segments: drag these segments to the corresponding positions.
Change the Dashboard Size to 1200 x 4500. concatenated by dashboard
Set left and right segments as Standard and set the middle segment as Fit Width. Then, Resize them to a proper layout.
Right-click Legends and check Floating, then put them in the appropriate place.
Polish the chart:
Keep only the left title and remove others.
show and rename the left and right axis."

How can I set different colors for the different elements of a single dimension with Tableau Desktop?
I want the colors in fields of dimension and not like the picture.
Thank you
You can drag that same dimension on the Color mark in the Marks area, which by default is displayed below filters, right to the Data area.
To change the colors that Tableau assigns by default you can click on the Color mark and use "Select Colors": it will open a window where you can select the color you want for each value of the dimension you're using.
Edit
Unfortunately you cannot color the background of a dimension axis. You can achieve the same result with a trick though:
Drag the dimension to rows
Double-click in columns and write MIN(1)
From the marks dropdown, make sure Bar is selected
Drag the dimension to the Color mark
Drag the dimension to the Label mark
From the Label mark, set the horizontal alignment to either left or center
From the Label mark, mark the flag to allow labels to overlap other marks
From the Size mark, crank the size all the way up
Right-click on the dimension from the rows area and unselect Show Header
Right click on the MIN(1) axis below the graph, click Edit Axis, select Fixed among the Range options and fix start and end to 0 and 1 respectively
Right click on the MIN(1) from the columns area and unselect Show Header
Of course adjustments can be made to better suit your needs, but this should give you an idea of the whole process.
I have a dual axis line chart that shows the number of planned hours vs worked hours through time (week number). Even though they are both Hours, I had to create a second axis for worked so that I get both of them displayed on the same chart.
But as you see in the picture, they do not quite show the correct scales (Worked hours is in thousands (0K, 2k, 4k, etc) while planned hours is in singles (0, 200, 400).
How can I edit my chart so they both show the same scale?
P.S. As long as I get both of these measures on the same chart, I really don't mind skipping the dual axis part. In fact, if both measures have the same scale I don't understand why one should create dual axis.
You should be able to just right click on the axis on the left and in the menu there should be an option to "synchronize axis". Select this and it will sync the two axes.
You can then hide the axis on the right to make it appear like a regular line graph and not a dual axis. To do this right click on the axis and uncheck the "show header" option.
I have 2 lines in a chart and i used dual axis on them. For each line, i manually picked colors for them through the MARKS card.
Now I need a legend to show what each line and their color represent but i dont see any way to do it. When i put one of the pill on the colors box, it gives me a gradient of colors on my trend line which is not the color i manually picked by clicking on the colors box.
How can i go about doing this?
Using the "All" marks card (the top one), put Measure Names on the color shelf
I have a 2 column spreadsheet. The first column is a label, the second is a value. I want to make a chart that displays every single label on the y axis but by default calc displays the labels at intervals, like every 5th one. How can I change this?
You can modify the axis when in chart edit mode. To do so:
Double-click on the chart; after this, there's a light grey border around the chart, telling you that you've activeted chart edit mode:
Open Menu "Format" -> "Axis..." -> "X Axis" (or Y axis, depending o the layout of your chart):
In the Axis Format window, select the "Label" tab:
Set the label formatting as desired. The optimal format settings depend on the labels. If they aren't too long, staggering the labels may help. If they don't fit even staggered, then you could modify the text direction, e.g. settiing it to 45 degrees.
