Display legends for particular worksheet when switching between plots in tableau dashboard using parameters


I am trying to develop a dashboard which will have different level of detail depending upon the user input. I have two maps, one showing data to the granularity of county and another one by zip codes. I am able to toggle between the graphs but the legend do not appear to toggle and remain on the screen. The link to the dashboard: https://public.tableau.com/profile/rohan.verma#!/vizhome/Zip-County/Dashboard3?publish=yes

Any help to display the legend for only the view would be appreciated. I am also open to suggestions on doing this in a different way.


Solution

  • Drilling down through different geographic level of details is not been fully developed well by tableau as a feature. I like the way that you've implemented it within your workbook. Feel free to upvote this idea on the Tableau forums.

    Check out this thread on the Tableau forums for an idea to hide the legend https://community.tableau.com/thread/221281 (Amit Narkar's post)

    Essentially you would create a blank sheet triggered by the parameter which would hide the legend.
