Have you ever spent waaaaay too long trying to format a number in Tableau? Did you ever change a number format but see no change in your worksheet? These little things can be maddening!
If you want to become a Tableau number formatting pro, check out this week's video! You can learn about the differences between workbook-wide versus worksheet level formatting, how to keep the formatting independent on a label and an axis, and even how to apply two different formats to the same measure in a single worksheet!
Access/download the Tableau Workbook from the demo here.
Here’s a post of ours on how to use number formatting to get zeros to show as blanks or dashes.
