This link explains how to create dual axis on tableau so charts look like this
but when I try to re-create this, all I get is the below. Where do I right click to select "Synchronize Axis"
Drag the [Curve] pill to the right side of the bar chart. You'll see a black dotted line appear where the axis ought to be. Drop the pill, and a second axis will appear. (Equivalently, right click on either measure on the rows shelf and check Dual Axis.)
Right click on that new axis and click "Synchronize Axis".
In rows where there are two variables in between SUM(Number of Records) and curve Right-click between them you will get one option as Dual Axis .when you will click on that you will get desired result.
[Righclick between Sum(Number of Records) and curve]
Do as describe in image

In Tableau I created an Area chart. I have managed to display legend for the measure values but cannot legend one for the grey line (additional measure in Rows) as I have built a dual axis chart.
Could some one guide me how this could be done. Apologies if the question is unclear. Can provide more details if need be.
If you're on a worksheet then
Select Analysis > Legends > Color Legend.
Select Worksheet > Show Cards > Reset Cards.
Right-click in the space below the Marks card and select Legends >
Color Legend.
If you have dual axis, ensure transparency is 100% on the first pill else the colors in legend will not show up.
EDIT:
In case you have already done that, try using the All marks card (the top one), put Measure Names on the color shelf
I have two measures, one is the actual the other is the total. I want to create a bar chart of the totals with the actual overlaid as a line. Why are they separate and not combined in my visual? I can't seem to combine them.
The missing step is to specify the measure you want on the dual axis. On the Rows shelf, right-click on the Balance Growth measure. Select the menu option for Dual Axis. That will make the dual axis chart and also give you a menu option for synchronizing the axis if you would like.

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 a simple polygon in Tableau Desktop. I know you can easily change the color of the border but there seems no way to change the thickness.
My shape looks like:
Then when you click on 'Color'. You can click on the Border drop down and select the color but not the thickness. Is there another way to do this?
Use a dual axis
Put the field you have on the column shelf on the column shelf twice to get 2 side by side graphs. On the marks card, select the second mark, and change the mark type to line. Adjust color and size to suit.
On the column shelf, right click on the second mark and choose dual axis and synchronize axes (by editing the second axis and checking the synch axes box). If you want to change the order that marks are drawn, you can switch the order of the fields on the column shelf. You might want to hide a header
In Tableau, I have a dual-axis bar chart of some data with their margins of error. I am using Gantt bars for the error data, and I want to overlay the error bars on top of the original data. My problem is that I can't figure out how to adjust the placement of the Gantt bars so that they are centered over the top of the original bars, with the error value displayed both above and below the bar.
I am pretty sure I need to create a Calculated Field but am new to Tableau and coding and don't really know how to go about this.
You can do this without the use of Calculated Fields as follows:
Create a Bar Chart with the original data
Duplicate the Bar Chart by Ctrl-Clicking the measure pill in the Rows shelf
You should get 2 charts one above the other now, select one of the charts from the Marks dialog, and change it to Gnatt Bar
Drag error to the Size button of the Gnatt Bar and also to the Color button
Now click the one of the pills in the row shelf and select Dual Axis
Right click the second Axis and select synchronize Axis
