Make your data delicious with this Tableau donut chart tutorial.
Donut charts are a common way of showing part-to-whole data – but be aware that it’s difficult to accurately compare the size of the segments.
They are similar to a pie chart – but the centre can be a good way of making space to include more information about the data (e.g., total).

If you have a look at the video below, you'll see me create a drill down action, using a boolean table calc to color the bars, create a parameter to choose a metric, and lastly I show you how to create different number formats for a single calculation.

Despite the massive setback to women's right in Texas, less Americans are anti-abortion than in 1975. Now maybe if the barbaric dinosaurs in Congress in Texas came into the 21st century, they'd finally realize women are our equals and we shouldn't control them. It's all very, very disgusting. They should be ashamed, but of course they're not. In fact, they are quite proud of what they "achieved".

You can think of a marginal histogram as a heatmap with a histogram to the side and the top of the heatmap. Each graph provides a frequency distribution.
In this example, I'm going to show you how to create a marginal histogram that displays a frequency distribution of the number of taxi rides by weekday and hour for January 2020 in NYC.

During #WatchMeViz this week, I showed how to format numbers as trillions. Trillions isn't an option in Tableau's number formatting. However, you can get around it with a custom format. In this video, I show you how to do that. It's quite simple!

Notice how the font for "Office Supplies" next to the dropdown selector (9 pt) does not match the font size of the option displayed (12 pt). In this video, I show you how to work around that in a couple different methods.
- Using Category as a filter
- Using a Set Action so that the (All) option can also be displayed
The final product uses set actions. This method also applies to Parameters, but I have not included those in the video. The steps are mostly the same except you would use a Parameter Action instead of a Set Action.
Enjoy!
