Resizing Shortcuts in Tableau - Tip Week

This tip is a keyboard shortcut I learnt from Sebastian from The Information Lab Germany.

 

The Tip

If you create a view in your worksheet and feel it’s all a bit squished you could go to the menu bar > Format > Cell Size > Taller.

OR

You could just press CTRL + Up.

Simple.

 

As you’d imagine, there are shortcuts for changing the size in all directions

Taller: CTRL + Up

Shorter: CTRL + Down

Wider: CTRL + Right

Thinner: CTRL + Left

Bigger (Taller and Wider): CTRL + Shift + B

Smaller (Shorter and Thinner): CTRL + B
