Hi Everyone out there. In today’s blog under tableau tips we will see how we can change the axis dates granularity by a date parameter. Here is the workbook that we will show you what we are trying to achieve .
Here we can see that as we change the value of the Date Parameter from Year to Month or to date , the X axis also changes.
Here are the steps to achieve it. I am using the sample super stores data.
Step 1: Create a date parameter as under :
Step 2: Create a Calculated Field variable date as under :
Bring the Variable date field to Columns and from the dropdown select exact date.
