Want to set up filters or parameters on your Tableau dashboard so they disappear or reappear based on a user selection? I ran into this scenario recently when working with a client. We had a handful of pre-set date ranges a user could select (e.g. Month to Date, This Quarter, etc.) but we also wanted to give the user the option to select a custom date range.
We thought the dashboard would look confusing if there was a list of preset dates you could select and right below it, Start and End Date inputs for a custom range. We developed this solution where the Start Date and End Date options only appear on the dashboard when “Custom Range” was selected from the preset values.
