Do you want to increase the display font size of a dropdown filter in Tableau? You'd think it would be as easy as increasing the font size in the formatting window, but it isn't.

If you want to learn a workaround which allows you to customize the display font size (and also customize what text display when multiple or all values are selected), check out this video!

The visual look and feel of our dashboards make a huge impact to our end-users, and can increase the adoption rate of dashboards, particularly by non-technical users. We can't under-estimate the "wow-factor" of a good-looking dashboard!

But how do you begin to build a good looking dashboard when you're sitting with one that looks like an out-of-the-box Tableau dashboard? The answer is to craft your own design style using best practices and inspiration from others.

Hierarchies are a simple Tableau tool that allows us to drill through dimension levels, from least specific to most specific. Hierarchies typically work best when our dimensional data is organized in levels, like location (State, City, Address), or person (Office, Department, Team, Individual).

However, hierarchies can be limited. The interface to find the drill-down button is not obvious to our end-users, and drilling down from level 1 to level 4 can be cumbersome. In this video, we'll not only look at how to build and use hierarchies, but work through one or two tips on how to create optimized functionality for some selective features of hierarchies, giving you a better overall end-user experience.
