0:00Hey, it's Tim here and in today's video I'm
0:03going to be showing you a new feature in
0:06Tableau
0:072019.2 and it's the ability to swap sheets
0:11inside of a dashboard. Now I've opened up
0:13a sample workbook that comes with Tableau
0:16and what I'd like to do is replace this
0:18filled map here on the left hand side with
0:20another map that I've actually built. I
0:23assume
0:24maybe you got feedback and someone said
0:26they maybe wanted the map style to change
0:28and in
0:28this case I've changed it to a circle map
0:30and I've used the new vector capability
0:33in 2019.2 for maps. So what I'd like to do
0:37is inside of this overview dashboard I'd
0:40like to swap the circle map for this filled
0:43map. Now I must admit the first time I
0:45actually
0:46heard about this feature it took me a while
0:47to find it. I actually needed to use the
0:49instructions.
0:50It's not available when you search for it
0:53up here so in Max you can search the menu
0:56system and you can see that there's no real
0:58option up here. There's clear sheet and
1:01describe sheet. If you right click on the
1:03sheet you'd like to replace you'd see there
1:05's
1:05nothing here. If you right click on the
1:07sheet you're going to replace it with there
1:09's
1:09also nothing there. So all the usual sort
1:12of interface mechanisms don't exist. It's
1:15a very very subtle thing to do. First you
1:17have to click on the sheet you'd like to
1:19replace then hover over the new one and you
1:22'll see here you get this new icon appear
1:25which
1:26when you hover over it for long enough
1:28tells you that that's how you swap the
1:29sheets.
1:30So I kind of wish this was a little bit
1:32more visible but nonetheless if you hit
1:34that icon
1:35it replaces the sheet. Now one thing to
1:37note when it does that you have to make
1:39sure your
1:40actions work as they should do. If I take
1:43one step back and I hit the back button you
1:45'll
1:45notice that when I click on various items
1:48of this chart the chart changes. It doesn't
1:51always produce sort of the most meaningful
1:53view but it controls the rest of the
1:55metrics
1:55on the chart. Now if I swap that sheet
1:59around and I click on this again you'll see
2:02that
2:02it hasn't brought through my actions. So
2:04what I have to do is enable those actions
2:06again. Thankfully this is an easy action to
2:09instill because I just need to click on
2:11this
2:11icon to use the filter and now that actions
2:15works just like it was supposed to and all
2:18the sheets in this dashboard change. If you
