A simple task that takes a few more steps than maybe you’d think in Tableau. Shout out to Eva Murray (@TriMyData) for this technique.
Step 1
Create a calculated field containing the text you want to be clickable.
Step 2
Drag the hyperlink field onto a worksheet, more specifically, onto the text marks card. Format the text however you want.
(I recommend deleting everything in the tooltip too as it’s not really needed here)
Step 3
Add the hyperlink worksheet to a dashboard.
Step 4
Add a URL Action by going to Dashboard > Actions > Add Action > Go to URL.
– Change the run action to ‘Select’,
– Put in the link of the URL you want the user to be directed to,
– Select new browser tab in the URL target if you want the link to be opened in a new browser.
Sorted.
