Displaying Measures Dynamically

You can use Measure Names and Measure Values to set up a quick filter from which you can select individual measures to display on the fly in a view. This article walks through an example with a time trend chart. Create a view with a quick filter that lists multiple measures. Step 1 Open a new workbook and connect to the Superstore sample. Step 2 From the Dimensions pane, drag Order Date to the Columns shelf. Step 3 From the Dimensions pane, drag Measure Names to the Rows shelf. Step 4 From the Measures pane, drag Measure Values to the Rows shelf. Step 5 On the Rows shelf, right-click Measure Values and select Show Quick Filter. Step 6 On the quick filter, click the menu arrow and select Single Value List. Step 7 From the Dimensions pane, drag Customer Segment to the Color shelf on the Marks card. Use the view in Tableau Server Step 1 Publish the workbook to Tableau Server. Step 2 Click any value in the Measure Names quick filter. Tableau displays that measure in the view. Step 3 (Optional) To rename the quick filter, click the menu arrow and select Edit Title. Step 4 (Optional) In the Edit Quick Filter Title dialog box, replace Measure Names with a new name, and then click OK.
