Although very handy, repeating this process for more than 10 columns will inhibit Tableau performance and the view will take a bit longer to load. For a complete workbook of this post check it out on Tableau Public.Įnd Note: Since Conditional Formatting is not really a native Tableau behaviour, there are some caveats we should take into account. Eventually, we will end up with this view: We will follow the same procedure for ‘Attribute check 2’, adjust the axis to include ‘ Attribute Check 2′ and finally uncheck the header. Optional: Go to Format > Cell Size > and change it to Narrower or any other option of your choice.Īnd Voila! We have created our first conditional formatting column.Right Click the Dimension ‘Attribute Check 1’ and uncheck Show Header.Adjust first the right border of the newly created column and then adjust the upper border to align the title with all other columns.Go the the Tick Marks tab and set it to None.
In the General Tab go to Axis Titles and change it with ‘Attribute Check 1’.Upper Axis: Right clicking the upper Axis will enable us to enter the Edit Axis go the the Tick Marks tab and set it to None.In the General Tab go to Axis Titles and delete the title.Since each placeholder is a measure with its own Marks Shelf, we can edit each Marks Card independently according to our needs.īottom Axis: Right clicking the bottom Axis will enable us to enter the Edit Axis In this example we will make another use of placeholders and create a set of measures to help us in our task. Some time ago I have discussed about placeholders while creating doughnut charts. How can we condition the Attributes checks when there are no measures to be found? Placeholders to the Rescue This is one of those excel type functionalities that is very easy to do in Excel, but quite hard to accomplish in Tableau.īut when we examine our table we find only Dimensions. Basically, we want to end up with attribute’s cell to be Blue for ‘Enabled’ and Red for ‘Disabled’. Our task is to conditionally highlight each attribute check cell for end users. In order for us to follow the procedure I mocked up some data for the sake of this exercise. One aim of the project was to make a highlight table to inspect user attributes to a certain company standard. So without further ado, let’s explore it. Yet, it gives us the opportunity to better understand the underlying actions when trying to create that. A recent project to evaluate security breaches in a company presented me with that exact problem.Ĭonditional formatting for dimensions is not a Tableau out of the box feature. There are also instances in which there are no measures in the data, only dimensions. On the other hand, there are certain industries and scenarios within companies where tables are expected or even required! and Yes, it does happen to be that users sometimes need tables to do their job. Tableau associates itself mostly to the fact that it is a data visualisation tool, not Excel, and definitely not a “tabular report builder”. Thinking about it, it is a bit ridiculous that dimensions conditional formatting is not a feature out of the box.

But what should we do when we want to conditionally format dimensions? In this post we are going to find out how to do just that! A Data Visualisation Tool Marks are generated when measures are added to the rows or columns shelf. Different than excel, however, conditional formatting in Tableau cannot be applied across a column but rather across a mark. To achieve that, we simply need to drag and drop our data elements onto the respective columns, rows and color shelves. In Tableau, applying conditional formatting across one measure is relatively easy.
