I've said it before, and I'll say it again - you are the ABSOLUTE BEST Tableau teacher. Thank you for your time and effort in helping the rest of us figure this stuff out!
That is very generous and very kind, Trey. Thank you. I am happy you found it helpful! I learned a lot with this particular video as well. There are still pieces that are bit of a mystery sometimes :)
There are so many frustrating/ confusing issues with Tableau formatting that you cleared up in this video. I am going to send this link out to my hospital Tableau team trainer so he can use this as a reference for others. Thank you, this is excellent.
I am so glad to hear that some of the confusing parts have been cleared! I learned a lot prepping this video, so thank you so much Jim for the suggestion! I appreciate your feedback, comments and support!
A few of words, if I may, to praise the content and quality of explanation: excellent, well explained, correct pace and the samples! Thank you! Keep up the amazing work! Regards from Madrid, Spain.
Thank you so much for such a nice and generous comment, Paulo. I very much appreciate it. You just gave me another boost of energy and motivation, thank you!
Oh wow! The overriding order explains the problems I had before, i was so frustrated and couldn't figure out why some formatting didn't work... Now I know why. Thank you so much you are truly an amazing teacher!
Thank you Sara, I learned a few things while working on this video too. The blue and green difference (header vs pane and axis vs pane) was a new discovery. I think before I kinda knew which worked and which didn't but I didn't understand why. For the formatting challenges in general it's still hard. It would be nice if eventually we can get some report that shows us at which level the last formatting was applied 😀 .. maybe in a future version :)
Thanks for the in detail explanation of Tableau formatting. The way Tableau made formatting a complicate and the way you made it easier for us with your subject command!!!👍
Thank you so much on the tutorial. I have been putting off on learning the format because it's so confusing! I can never find video like yours that explain everything so clearly! Love the way you visualised the instructions as well, makes it much easier for me to follow!
Thank you Ying! So happy to hear you found the video helpful. Formatting can still be quite confusing, and often I still need to do some trial and error. Appreciate your comment! :)
Excellent work! First 38 minutes video that I don’t want to end. A lot of frustration when dealing with formatting in Tableau makes first-time users gave up and go back to excel. This format tutorial should go to the tableau free learning website. I know the amount of work and preparation you invested in making it easy for us, your followers, to grasp all about tableau formatting, and you successfully achieved this task. THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much for your kind note and feedback Abderrahim! I really appreciate it. Yes I feel each video is really a labor of love 💻📕☕ It took me a while to put this together and after re-watching I felt I needed to do more, but the video was already more. I am happy to hear you thought this was a worthwhile watch despite its length, and I am happy to hear this was helpful in helping getting clarity regarding how formatting works in Tableau. Thank you again so much, I appreciate your support!
Ahhh! This had everything I needed to understand Tableau's formatting. Watched the whole thing. I'll be referring back to segments of this video as needed (a lot) throughout my learning journey. Thank you so much! Onto the next video!
Thank you! I learned a few things while working on this video too (specifically the pane!). I knew it didn't work but I don't think I spent time before to understand why. Now I know too 🙂 .. Ah, the mysterious ways Tableau works.
You are welcome Audrey! I hope you will find it helpful :) ... (it did end up becoming a longer video than I thought, but I think I will be coming back to this video too if I start forgetting how Tableau formatting works!)
That’s so helpful in many ways these seems to be simple but not all definitely time taking when we work on it.amazing lecture!!please share videos on parameters,set actions and change parameters.
Thank you, I am glad you found it helpful! And yes I am planning to have parameters, as well as a number of additional topics. I hope you will find them helpful as well :)
This is absolutely from basic to advance concept clearing sessions, thank you for all your efforts Donabel, you're an amazing Teacher the Best I have ever met, a non-tech person can also easily understand Tableau after watching these videos, look forward to learning more from you. Thank you very much for all your efforts.
First of all, thank you very much for the clear explanation for this topic. You're -as others say- THE BEST! Secondly, WHY did tableau make formatting so complicated? What's the most fundamental underlying reason for this?
i am in the middle of learning Tableau online. I used Quickview and PowerBI previously. So it is not hard for me to learn Tableau. However, when i took the online course, i still sometimes feel frustrated and confused. and then i suddenly came across your videos. Your videos help me understand so many concepts easily and i now feel more confident to master Tableau. I hope more and more people will find your videos. I also hope to have some videos about case studies using Tableau in different industries such as healthcare, finance, retail and so on. Thanks again!
Thank you Sandra, and happy to hear you found the video helpful. I am hoping to add more videos specific to industries in the future. Thank you for the suggestion!
Very helpful! The part about discrete and continuous fields behaving differently in a shelf or on the marks card was completely new to me. The hierarchy also clarified a few things. Maybe in a future video, add formatting parameters too. I recently had a dashboard where any changes I made were completely ignored.
Thank you Tim! I am happy to hear you found new things in the video. Yes! The blue/green difference was also the one that surprised me, but knowing it was definitely helpful moving forward. I do have parameters in the works, I will try to include formatting parameters as well.
Thank you so much Tim! 🙏 I am so grateful for your support and encouragement. Thank you for your wonderful content as well. Your channel is a great inspiration and a wealth of knowledge!
Wow I wish I had seen this a few years ago! I have been so confused, especially by the row banding. How were we supposed to know what 'level' means?! I cannot wait to try this out. Thank you!!
I came to know about your channel through Tableau Tim. I was often getting confused when it comes to row banding levels.I used to experiment with those everytime and stick with whatever works at that point in time. Your video helped me to appreciate the differences and your clear explanations for each of the formatting options was top-notch and very easy to follow. Thanks a lot . I am sure you would have put in tons of efforts to prepare and consolidate topics in a coherent way. Looking forward to learn more from your channel. Just a quick question. What was the annotation tool which you are using ? I have seem Tim using a similar tool to annotate and just curious to know about the same. Thanks again.
Thank you for your kind note Deepu, very much appreciated. And yes I was very grateful for Tableau Tim's support - he is amazing! For the annotation, sometimes I use the PowerPoint annotation tool. I also use Microsoft's ZoomIt tool.
So happy to hear that! I learned new things while I was prepping for this video too. Thank you, as always, for your support and comments Peter! Much appreciated!
Thanks. You are The Best. Is there any way to show expand and collapse ( plus and minus) buttons without hovering. If report contains two columns with hierarchy then it’s difficult to see plus and minus symbol without hover. Could you please advise any workaround to this issue ?
Thank you. This can be done but with a little bit more work. On top of my head I think you can use a combo of set actions and shape palette to achieve something like this. It is not as straightforward for sure.
Could you please let us know How can we add both sum and average of rows in subtotals and use them further for calculation as well... And Thank you so much for such beautiful and informative videos
Thank you Fatima. I do have a playlist, in addition to a step by step tutorial, on creating and formatting a dashboard with containers. Please feel free to check it out: th-cam.com/play/PLkZ_g9Y7eszLTQzwQmdbC6EL572_eY8Wi.html
Hi Madam ,Pls help about this , My Tableau Server Creates Every Day New Extract in Dataengine folder and keep duplicates also hence my server Space running out ? what can i do ?
Hello Naga, do you think it may be related to incremental refreshes, as mentioned in this KB? kb.tableau.com/articles/issue/data-is-duplicated-after-incremental-refresh Donabel
If I want to group two fields each containing two fields under one name while still preserving the names of the fields for example All - Purpose Accel Regen Whine Growl Whine Growl How can I do this?
Hello. I'm having issues in text wrapping. When I publish my desktop report to my server, it seems that some of the letters are being left out. Someone said that I should edit my wrapping from Automatic to On. I edited mine but it's still not update. Will you please help.
Thanks Jers. Usually for text wrapping in Tableau you also need to make sure you have enough space for the text to wrap, ie, you may need to adjust the cell's height. Please give it a try and let me know.
@@user-re5uv2mm2h Hmm usually it means there is still not enough space. Tableau won't autosize per cell - all cell widths and heights are uniform. Are you able to share a sample workbook (no proprietary/sensitive info) in Tableau Public? I can help look at it.
Thanks for the feedback. Yes. They are two very different tools with different primary purposes. Other tools will also differ, and sometimes it's just the nature of having different tools (Mac vs PC, R vs Python, Power BI vs Tableau ....)

Worth every minute even for an experienced user. Thank you! The biggest trip for me is the Pane format. Now I know it only applies to the marks.

Just wonder if there is mix of number and percentage in a text table. How am I able to do formatting?
how to format header name when some of the header name are not visible properly in a table and we dont want to change table width
I added a sum of field to a measure and changed it to a percentage but I can't figure how to add a label for it?

Hello Ma'am, in this example how we fill zero where showing blanks in table. Please let me know.
Hello Manish - you can potentially use ZN or IFNULL or an IF/ELSE clause to do that?
This was a good tutorial so thanks for that. But, Tableau has a very complicated way of formatting worksheets compared to Excel.
