This really helped me with a project at work. Thank you!

Would not have purchased tableau if I knew it couldn't do such simple tasks as coloring

Thank you so much!! I really appreciated this tutorial! You're a GREAT TEACHER!!

thank you for making this video. it immensely helpful

Thank you sir. Please continue.

Great Video mate! I just don't understand why a simple thing should be so complex in Tableau. Even when you do get around it, it does not seem as nice as when you do it in Power BI. Tableau should try to simplify this!

Hellow! Thank you for the awesome tip, now that I've done everything you just said, how would you sort the data on a descending scale using the sales field?

Thanks for the video! the last minute of the video is muted.

thaks for that! such a pitty that you stopped to record new videos :(

Great video. Tableau bills itself as an easy to use tool but coming from Cognos and SAP Webi, I have to say it is a pretty unintuitive program

Thank you - I'm (obviously) a big fan of Tableau, but it is different from other BI and analytics tools. Particularly something like Cognos or SAP (even Excel) because you're a little "further" from the data and it pushes you towards a graphical, rather than tabular format. Once you get the hang of it, it's a much more intuitive way to explore data, but tables and standard formats (at least what we've come to see as standard) are harder to get at.

Amazing :O

The video solves the problem of conditional formatting. Though I have 2 questions. How do you colour the values under profit as just black without any legends. and secondly if I dill color in the header section the below portion also gets formated with the colours. How do you solve this problem??

switch to Power BI is a quick solution :) I like Tableau but there is some things that make my life difficult that i don't have with Power Bi

Hi, this is great video btw. But how to sort the data using the fields that attached in the Marks shelf? when i sort the data using the axes, it's not really sorted, because it's sorting average of 1.0

Does anyone know how to sort by a solo column with this type of a graph? Lets say if i only want to sort by profit instead of region and profit?

Will this work for rows instead of the columns?

I've never tried it, but I don't see why not - the theory is the same. :)

Seems quite complex. Is there really no other simpler way of doing this? In excel it takes 3 seconds, so I hope that 15 mins isn't the easiest in Tableau? Please lmk if there's a simpler way to do this for single columns in a table that already has say 4 different measures.

They've changed a little since this video was made - you can now use the measure values to color each measure individually (ala Excel). Adding symbols still takes this little workaround, though. I think it comes down to philosophy. Tableau wasn't designed for tabular layouts, but for visual analytics - graphing and what have you - and visual analytics is where it's FAR superior to Excel.

Tableau in 2 min - took 15
