I am building a line chart, everything works fine besides the labels in chartScrollbar, since the category names are a bit long, labels in cahrtScrollbar stacking onto each other make it unreadable. I'm wondering if labels can be hidden, displayed only a few or make the label rotate to a degree? Please see below screenshot
Chart scrollbar does not display labels by default. If it does for you, there might one of the below:
1) You have some older version of JavaScript Charts. Upgrade to the latest one.
2) You have labels explicitly enabled by setting autoGridCount: true and/or gridCount in your chartScrollbar config. Remove those.

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.
I have built my first dashboard in tableau. When I am logged in and look at this, it looks fine, it consists of 2 horizontal blocks (on the left a double one, on the right it consists of three vizes). When I am logged out and look at the dashboard the right part shows only 1st viz correct, the other two are diminished and you can bearly see them. What might be the reason?
There could be a few things going on. Without a picture, it may be one or more of these:
Use Layout
Containers.
The layout containers will ensure that each part of the dashboard is
exactly where you want it relative to a parent container.
Use tiled
layouts. Floating layouts may cause dashboard parts to be in different places depending on the screen size.
Check to see if you are using Fixed, Automatic or Range sized dashboards. These can also make a difference in appearance based on screen size.
If you are using custom fonts, install them on server to ensure this isn't a part of the problem.
Please do share a picture (or preferably, the workbook) so further investigation can happen.
In the Dashboard tab -> Layout pane, check the Item hierarchy.
When a viz/sheet is dragged and dropped on to the dashboard, tableau, by default arranges them in tiled container.
If you have adjusted the width manually, disable the option fixed width which is pin symbol when sheet is selected.
Make sure that no tiled containers are present and all the sheets are dropped into respective Horizontal containers.
Adjust the width of the viz in the sheet to fit in the view.
These are some common resolutions. Share screenshot for much accurate solution.
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)
I have a background image for my bubble chart in SSRS (2008).
On the Design tab, the background image stays behind the bubble chart.
When I run the report (preview), the background image appears below the bubble chart - not behind it. I've set the background image as 'Send to Back'.
I assumed it should always stay as back of bubble chart.
How do I ensure that it stays fixed behind the bubble chart?
From the bubble chart graph, I have no option of filling the background with the embedded image.
According to this SSRS documentation, overlapping report items are not supported in preview mode, nor are they supported in HTML, Word, Excel, and several other important export formats. They are, however, supported in .pdf, and I've tested this to make sure that it works - even when the preview bumps the items so that they do not overlap, an exported .pdf will show them overlapping. So depending on the format you need, having overlapping report items may or may not be possible. If it is not possible for your required format, start looking into alternatives, like cropping your image into four separate images that surround your chart, and then keeping the chart as a fixed size in your report.
Oh, and I'm not sure what you mean by saying "From the bubble chart graph, I have no option of filling the background with the embedded image," if you are saying it won't work for your design purposes, that's fine. But I am able to set a background image in a bubble chart using the Fill section of the properties tab for the bubble chart to select a background image.
Edit: I am using Visual Studio 2008 as well. The properties window for the bubble chart looks like this:
Since it sounds like you already have the image you want uploaded to your project, you can choose "Embedded" for your source and then find the image in the Value dropdown.
I've got a requirement to install people's faces on the Y-Axis of a bar chart. Is it possible to install a custom image in place of the axis label? Ideally the solution would enable border-radius, border-style, and image URL properties.
Bonus points if you can point me towards documentation for enabling image-axis-label click & mouseover events!
There is an example of using images as labels here:
https://www.rgraph.net/demos/bar-images-as-labels.html
But keep in mind that they're not DOM objects - ie you can't style them with CSS on add mouseover events to them (at least not in the standard way). You could add a mouseover using RGraph though.
