Make the Shape bigger and squish the screen down to show just a few.ĥ. Choose Mark Type "Shape" and select one you like - I chose a circle.Ĥ. Ensure filters are global or applied to this worksheet from your "driver" worksheet.ģ. Create a worksheet with the data you want on Details. I think this approach may provide adequate speed although it is sinfully ugly.Īssume you already have a dashboard with some filters (multi-select) etc. So the last thing we want is to tax the vizSQL engine with rendering all that data. In my case we were trying to do this with a 300,000 row download. Since this only covers a small number of use cases, we must get the user to click an embedded worksheet on a dashboard and then use the Tableau standard export. Using any kind of URL will only work if you have single params to pick from (or max/min dates to pass). Opening the workbook will not work since it assumes you are starting a brand new session and so only your default (published) filters and params are available. The ONLY way to get what we want is to have the user click the standard Export - CrossTab built into Tableau server.
I had to name it with a capital A so that it would be the first sheet alphabetically on the dashboard. I changed the height to 1 and made everything white and transparent and chose Fit Entire View so that it would be inconspicuous. What I did was float a sheet named AExport onto the dashboard.Special thanks to the one and only Tableau Jedi Mark Rueter for this tip! But note that Tableau orders upper case before lower case. Yes, it’s that simple! And it’s totally undocumented. csv to the end of a Tableau URL, Tableau will export the first sheet on the dashboard alphabetically.
Add the image icon on the dashboard and place it wherever you like.But I didn’t export the line chart at all. Go ahead, try it!ĭid you try it? If you did, and you opened the CSV, you may have noticed this looks remarkably like the data that you would hope to get if you exported the data for the line chart. All the user has to do is click on that icon and they get a nice CSV. I’ve floated it to the upper right and made it small.
On this dashboard, notice how I added an Image object (I used an Excel icon) on the dashboard.
