Do you have an object in your Tableau dashboard that should be expanding and contracting but isn't?
There are a number of reasons you might set up an object to expand and contract. Maybe it's a detailed sheet that should only display when the user makes a selection from the summary sheet at the top of the dashboard. Maybe it's a parameterized worksheet swap. Maybe you've set up a simple show/hide button for your user.
Regardless, when an object is in a layout container and isn't expanding and contracting as desired, it's frustrating!
Check out this video to learn about the likely reason that object isn't dynamic, and how to avoid this issue in the future.
