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

how do I hide the little drop-down menus on a Tableau worksheet used as a button....
See picture...
Everything is working perfectly in Tableau Desktop, but in Reader I get these drop-downs that I don't want the user to see or have to be bothered by?
The buttons don't show this if i a browsing through them in Desktop--only in Tableau Reader.
Are you able to see the picture? Let me know, if not.
Thanks.
Those controls should go away when the dashboard is put into presentation mode by clicking this icon.
I am building a dashboard in tableau that navigates to different worksheets. I am wondering if there is a way to add a back button to a worksheet. I have thought of one way using an action filter menu, but that method is not very user friendly. Is there a way to get a button or something more obvious to the user? Thanks
You can only add navigation button with action filter. There is no other way to add button till now. I hope tableau soon add the official way to add button in the 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.

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.
I'm working on a GWT application that has the following layout:
- on top there's Menu Bar
- below that screen is separated into two panel by Split Layout Panel
When user clicks on a label in Menu Bar relevant information is show below in the left part of the screen. Then user clicks on an action item on that left part of the screen, and relevant information on that action item is displayed on the right part of the screen.
Clicking on an action item on the right part of the screen may also change relevant information on left part of the screen.
I want to extend on this by giving a possibility to drag/drop the panel on the right part of the screen to another browser tab/window. After that the right and left part of the screen should remain connected as if they are in the same browser tab/window.
Also, that new tab/window should only display that right panel, while Menu Bar and left panel, along with Split Layout Panel should not be present (this is less important but it would be great if it can be done).
Another important thing is that current visual representation of application is not changed but only extended with this functionality.
Is that something that can be done and if it is how to do it?
Thank you for your help.
I think you would have to use "HTML5" native drag and drop to drag between browser instances, so that would limit browser support. Both tabs would already have to have your code loaded into them so they could respond to these events.
If you have a server back end (not just static HTML/JS) then you could communicate via the server. Otherwise maybe "HTML5" client side storage to store blobs of data describing the panel contents. Probably easier re-render in the new browser/tab.
I know I changed some setting (or did something) to make the page tabs in my Access 2007 form disappear, but I can't remember what the setting was. I am not referring to turning on tabs instead of overlapping windows in the Current Database under Access Options. I have that set to show tabs, but it now only shows one tab for my 2-tab form. Previously I could see 2 tabs for this one form. I can still navigate between the tabs in design view by selecting them in the Property sheet.
Any suggestions much appreciated!!
Look for the style property on the property sheet. You can choose tabs, buttons and none.
