Did you know that in Tableau, you can...



...easily switch between sheets on your dashboard with just one click, without losing any of the layout settings?


Surprisingly, this feature is often overlooked, possibly due to the small and less noticeable icon used to switch sheets on your dashboard.


What makes this functionality even better is that when you switch sheets on the dashboard in this way, you won't lose any layout settings, such as background color, borders, or padding.

This is especially useful compared to the alternative method where you would have to remove the original sheet first and then drag in its replacement – a process that also might result in losing your container!

So, the next time you're working on your Tableau dashboard, keep this handy trick in mind and save yourself from the hassle of reconfiguring layout settings. Happy dashboard designing!
