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

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

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).
