Reusing Tableau Worksheets in a Dashboard

Question

Is there a way to reuse worksheets multiple times in a dashboard, perhaps by using parameters? I have a dashboard with 4 sheets, displaying similar things (differs only on the data filtering).

Answer 1

• This is not possible. You will not be able to add the same worksheet to dashboard more than once.

Alternates for this problem are:

• Duplicate the worksheets X number of times. It intimates that you need to maintain multiple instances of the same worksheet if you need to make changes later.

• Implement the data filtering inside the single worksheet. After adding the field you would filter by to the Columns or Rows will cause the data to be split up by that dimension.

• You have to make a note that advisable to minimize the number of worksheets on a dashboard for performance reasons. Therefore the latter workaround would be my first recommendation.

That’s all for now. But, if you would like to learn more about Tableau, check this Tableau Certification course by Intellipaat.
