Like dot strip plots, barcode charts are good for displaying all the data in a table, they work best when highlighting individual values.

A cycle plot is used to display cyclical patterns or trends over time, such as days of the week or months, to identify patterns, compare groups, and visualize seasonality in data.

Join me for live analysis of Zoosk's recent survey, covering 8,793 members' dating drink preferences!
In this livestream, I'll break down the responses across 7 different drink types, comparing the preferences between men and women.
Is there a gender divide when it comes to what people choose to drink on dates?
I'll explore this question and more.

Dynamic zone visibility opens up so many use cases. Previously, I had to do some number formatting tricks to show two different formats on one chart.
But with DZV, I can create an unlimited number of combinations of charts, metrics, and number formats.
In this video, I show you four examples to get you started.
Download the workbook here. Interact with it below the video.

When I first started using #Tableau, I assumed that blue meant dimensions and green meant measures. They don’t.
Blue means Discrete
Green means Continuous
It took me a couple of years to get my head around this most foundational concept in Tableau.
Dimensions and measures are merely a way that Tableau organizes the data.
And if you only take away one thing from this video, this is it:
- Blue things GROUP your data
- Green things COUNT your data
- Dimensions SPLIT up the view
- Measures FILL the view

Let's say you have a view with lots of marks and you want highlight a specific mark and assign a color palette so that mark is always highlighted whenever that dimension is used, irrespective of the chart.
To do this you can Highlight one or more discrete fields from the color palette and assign those marks to be highlighted. This does not impact the level of detail in the view.
Here's how you do it:

This tip comes from a comment from a viewer. They wanted to know how they could build a dual-axis chart based on a single dimension (e.g., Order Date) and a single measure (e.g., Sales). In this tip I show you how to compare the monthly sales for the current year (as a line) to the prior year (as a bar).

You can use a parameter to highlight a particular dimension in a chart. But there's a much easier and quicker method. The option is on the color legend.
It's simple:
1. Click on a color to highlight it.
2. From the color legend drop down, choose Assign Highlight Colors to Palette.

When working with time series data, Tableau understands how to populate dates that don't exist. For example, if you have sales for Jan 3 and Jan 5, Tableau can "add" data for Jan 4.
Great! But then you want to show zero in that cell. This tip shows you how to do just that.

Tableau Tip Tuesday
This week’s tip goes back to a tip I wrote in 2012 that required table calculations. With the addition of Level of Detail expressions in Tableau 9, the need for a table calc is obsolete.
