Conditional Formatting an Axis in Tableau

This video demonstrates a work around for the lack of conditional formatting of the Metric Values field in Tableau.

Essentially, I use containers to show/hide charts based on a metric selected.

all of your videos are awesome, took really great examples to explain the concept..

This is very useful trick. Very user friendly. I use this trick on all my dashboard that I have delivered.

Hi Andy, thanks, this helps a lot! I have one query though : the legends aren’t working properly for me. I created two charts per metric and followed the steps you show here. One difference was that I want the legends for both type of charts to be shown, so I didn’t remove those from the dashboard like you did. The problem I’m facing is that I’m only able to see one legend at a time. When I select metric A I get the legend for chart 1 but that for chart 2 disappears and when I select metric B from the parameter, the legend for chart 1 disappears but I can then see the legend for chart 2. Is there a way where I can ensure that both the legends are visible irrespective of the metric I choose in the parameter?

When I try to do something similar. My charts don't auto-adjust to fit the entire container after selecting the metric. What am I missing?

I like what you've done here, but have to ask... Why not create a story? This "single page dashboard" appears to replace story functionality by use of the parameter.
