I've created a story in Tableau 8.2. For one of my points I'm dragging in a worksheet, however when I do this, the worksheet title does not show up in the story point.
Is there any way to get the worksheet title to show in the story point when a worksheet is added to a story point? Or do I need to manually add a description?
I think this is an on-going issue with Tableau. A workaround will be to put the worksheet first into a dashboard and then drag the dashboard into the Story.
Dashboards give you much more control over formatting than worksheets. For anything with more than a little formatting effort, it is usually a good idea to wrap your worksheets in a dashboard before placing into a story.

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 am a new Tableau user. I have a concept to create one-page dashboard as summary page which contains two main windows. First window is fixed, displaying general information by pie chart. Second window (below) is dynamic, displaying detailed information of clicked pie chart. Every pie chart has different format/ layout of detailed information. Could I visualize the concept using Tableau. Please enlighten me
Yes you can. This is Tableau's bread and butter. Click an item in the dashboard and everything else can be filtered to that item. Look at Dashboard Actions to accomplish this.
I am working on Tableau Line chart with dual axis.
However, I want to add dimension in those line chart and arrange by alphabet.
Please see the link here to download the packaged workbook.
What I wanted to do is as follow:
Can anyone advise me?

Only way that I can think is to use the dashboard.
Created one more sheet with names in team and then added both sheets in dashboard, For color coding I would suggest you to define your own colors for all teams and add in both the sheets.

I need some help with drill through. I have a main dashboard with high level aggregated data. I need to drill through to a details report I have created with more granular data. The chart type I have used in the dashboard is a CARD, to which it should drill down from. Only thing is when I right click it does not give the drill option. I have added the relevant field into the details report but still no rightclick --> drill through. Any advice would be great. Could this be a limitation with Power BI?
I agree that it's poor form not to have this sort of functionality. I've tried multiple workarounds, using other visualisations without success. The only thing that i can get to work is to have the card, and overlay a button on top of it (making sure that the button is transparent), which links to a bookmark on that page that i want to 'drill through' to.
I would change from the Card visual to a Table visual. After setting the Format properties you can achieve a similar look to a Card. And if you are show the right fields, then you can right-click and drill down.
I have lot many data sources, dashboards and worksheets in one workbook, There are couple of filters on one dashboards, I want to know from dashboard which filter belongs to which worksheet or where this filter exactly belongs to ?
As well please share how to create Global filters and when they are used?
When looking at a dashboard in Desktop, you can click on a worksheet which will select the worksheet and you'll see four icons pop up (usually in top right corner, sometimes top left corner). The last icon is a downward triangle. Click it and you'll see a long menu with options such as Go To Sheet, Duplicate, and Fit. One option is labeled Filters. Click Filters and it opens a submenu of all filterable fields on the worksheet. If a field is being used as a filter in the dashboard, it will show a checkmark next to the field name.
Note that this is an easy way to add and remove filters from a dashboard. But in your case, you are using it to figure out which worksheet is doing the filtering.
Be aware that dashboards can have filter actions so sometimes worksheets will cascade the filter values to other worksheets on the dashboard.
