2020 Tableau Zen Master Nominations

Each year, Tableau invites users of the BI tool to nominate individuals in the community who have given back in so many ways to earn the coveted title of Zen Master. I’ve been using Tableau for three years now and while I’m not on the panel of judges that determine who becomes a Zen, I have my own idea of the attributes needed to become one. Granted I could nominate a large majority of the Tableau Community, I have nominated three users who have mentored me, inspired me, and with whom I hope to collaborate more in the near future.

How to show/hide your filters in Tableau.

Pre-2019.2, there were some workarounds in Tableau if you wanted to save some real estate and not display filters.  There was the great Robert Rouse tutorial using dashboard actions and later in 2019.1 when buttons were added one could use a button as a navigation medium to a duplicate of the dashboard but with filters.  The former was a much better, more slick way of doing things, but now it’s a breeze with 2019.2 and adding show/hide feature to floating containers.
