Master Containers: Build an Interactive Tableau Dashboard From Scratch

In this video you will learn step-by-step how to create an interactive Tableau dashboard.

We'll start with a 2 datasets:

1. Beverage sales
2. Custom shape for US states

I will show you how relationships work in Tableau to combine these two datasets.

Once we create the data set, we'll build all of the charts we need, create a parameter, and apply the filters.

We’ll create:

1. Summary key figures (KPIs)
2. A custom map of the US
3. A monthly breakdown as a line chart
4. Two bar charts for products and customers

Lastly, we'll make the dashboard dynamic and interactive using different filter types and a parameter and make sure everything updates automatically.

As a bonus, you’ll learn a lot about working with containers in Tableau.

Super helpful thank you! Fav part was creating the divider line between then filters and the charts, makes it look a lot cleaner.

This was amazing, as a student that's just starting out with tableau, this was a masterclass. It would have taken me hours to do this

Great insight Andy, This video came just when I needed information about choosing a metric.
I have a question though, is there a way to use the choose a metric option for the rows instead of the color shelf? Can you please help. Or is there another function I can use that would enable me to switch between two or more measures in the row shelf ?

Thank you

Hello Andy,
I wanted to reach out and express my gratitude for your invaluable assistance in my Tableau journey. Your guidance has been instrumental since I began using Tableau a few months ago. I thoroughly enjoyed your latest video, as always.
I do have a quick question regarding the use of spatial files. I noticed that the maps created with spatial files appear distinct from the regular maps I've constructed. I'm curious about the advantages of incorporating a spatial file in map building and how it enhances the visualization experience. Your insights would be greatly appreciated
