That was a master class in dashboard building with Tableau. The floating container and effective padding are my main takeaways; I’m revisiting my current large project now to see how I can ]make it leaner. Thank you so much Andy.

Hi, Andy, thank you so much! I love this dashboard and the colors. What is in preferences file, I can't open it

[anastasiosvra]

Great Dashboard creation video Andy, learned a ton out of it!!
My question is this: My understanding is that we used the Avg(0) two times in the rows to set the base & divide vertically the work area into 2 "fields" and then create the pie charts & etc. What if we used Min(0) or Sum(0) or something else resulting 0 ? Can you explain a bit more these initial steps of creating a donut chart? In which other cases do you use this method of dividing the work area and how do you do it?

Thanks so much for the awesome lessons and for empowering us in this learning journey!

HI Andy, this video was really helpful. thank you.

i watched another video you made called Mastering Containers in Tableau, where you spoke about the initial floating container.
I built my first dashboard based on what you described there, however, my boss said that i should not use the floating first container as this will cause issues later if you need to resize the canvas.

is there merit to this and if so, should this first container be changed to a fixed one ?

[minmoli]

[gannonbishop]

Do you have any issues using a Mac with excel and tableau?

[sarthakwaghmare]

[AbdullahSaeed]

Can also mentioned the reason why when making the pie chart you did " Average of 0"
