Tableau 2020.2: How to add and remove sets using a menu option

Tableau 2020.2 lets you add and remove set values straight from the tooltip menu, but only if you switch your tooltip to on hover.

Part ofWhat's new in Tableau 2020.2
  • Tableau 2020.2 adds 'add values to set' and 'remove values from set' as tooltip menu options, extending existing set action capability
  • Create these via Dashboard > Actions > Add action > Change Set Values, set it to run on Menu, and pick add or remove against the correct data source and set
  • The menu options only appear when the tooltip is set to 'on hover'; they won't show if 'responsive' is enabled
  • Adding or removing set values from the tooltip dynamically changes the comparison context of the whole visualisation

You can now incrementally add and remove values from a set by interacting with marks in the view, even after a selection is cleared.
