One Measure Two Colors

Quick Tip:


Assume that there are several worksheets with different charts on a dashboard. One and the same measure is used in the charts, but different statements are made with the respective chart. It is necessary that the measures in the individual charts get a different color.


Tableau simply does not allow this!


Problem:


If you try to adjust the color of the measure in the individual worksheets, this change is automatically made for the others as well.


Solution:


Duplicate the measures you want to display in different colors and name them accordingly.

Of course this also works with more than two!
