#TinyTableauTip If you have large numbers in a @tableau viz, but want to have a reduced label for readability, you can't use the same measure on both tooltips and label. But if you duplicate it, add "/1", and then you can change to format independently for each.

#TinyTableauTip If you are using a Parameter (string, list) and combine this with a Calc, save time by adding the dimension used in the CASE statement to the view + the Calculation (see pic). View data, copy + paste it into your Calc. Adjust accordingly. Remember to add "END".

#TinyTableauTip If you have multiple reference lines in @tableau, you can multi-select them by holding the CTRL Key down + selecting each line.
When all are selected, you can format all at once, the width, font, color etc.
