How to Use Parameter Action to Drill Down in Tableau 

I love how this also works with other parameters to populate the sub-values! My use case is wanting to see the overall category distribution while drilling into a sub-category distribution where the sub-category varies depending on its parameter selection. So now I can drill-down by a variety of dimensions. So great, thank you!

Thank you very much. You made me pass my final project.

Love this, just started using Tableau to this level and this will save so much space on my dashboard, thank you

Outstanding - big time-saver. Thanks!

This is very useful. Thank a lot for share this tips👍

Thanks Andy, all videos are awosome

Brilliant, you got yourself a follower sir.

Thanks for this useful tip !!

Thanks love this vid

great! thanks

Thanks for this wonderful trick. Can we change the color for sub categories e. g when I click on category (furniture) then sub categories come up with different color, that will make easier to understand with other category.

Any thoughts on the most "data-ink" friendly way to show users that they can drilldown? For example, if this was on a dashboard?

Andy Thanks for this time-saver idea, brilliant! I, however, have issues wherein the action won't work on the tableau server, it works fine on tableau desktop

Thank u

Thank you! This is perfect! - I do however have a challenge .. when moving to the dashboard (floating) the drilldown feature no longer works??

Hi Andy, this is fantastic..I'm able to do this for one level but struggling to understand how to apply the same concept when there's multiple levels that I'd like to drill down. Can you give us an example? I don't use set actions because the table shows blanks when not clicked, so parameters look a lot cleaner when using a table view.

Hi, Is it possible if Category = Furniture then show Customer number and If Category = Office Supplies and Technology then sub-Category? Thank you

can we drill down a stacked column bar chart with time on X axis?

Thank you It works very well with me but when drop the worksheet on dashboard , the drill down does not work , is there solution?

Hi Andy, Would it be possible to do multiple drill downs? For example Category to sub category and then sub category to sub category 2 ? If yes, how exactly?

Hey Andy, this video was really helpful, but I am facing a problem, when I am integrating this graph in a dashboard drill down is not working, do I have to some changes in dashboard as well?

Thank you for sharing this, found this quite useful, for a three tier hierarchy should another parameter be made?

Sensacional!

Thanks for the tip Andy, I do have a problem with the sub category list being too long (50+) on some selection. So it all cramped up in Dashboard view when I click on the selection, what can I do to resolve this please?

Great stuff Andy! Is it also possible to select multiple categories for drill-down`? Right now it only works for one but what would need to be done to make it work for multiple?

Thanks Andy, is it possible to drill down with measure values? I have created some measures, but I would like to include the calculations that made that measure. i.e rate drill down to the questions that created that rate?

Hi Andy, I don't see Nested sort option as you have shown in video (@ 1:53) and also don't see in add actions drop down "Add Parameter Actions". where am I going wrong?

HI Andy can you please provide the vidoe on how to create th half donut chart or guage Chart..your all videos are awesome...

I just saw Kumar's same issue - see my first comment below. I then recreated a separate actions and now it works. THANKS I did this and have it working in the Worksheet, but when I put it in a Dashboard it did not work. I did got to Dashboard Actions and checked 'Show actions for all sheets in this workbook." What did I do wrong?

Is it possible to hide a parameter using show and hide functionality...but it should be visible only to 2 group members only

Hello, thank you for this video I have two questions : I am trying to make a treemap with 3 levels (categories, sub-categories and products), and a filter at the more detailed one. When I deselect a product, I want it to come back to the categories treemap level. I think it is pretty much the same as your example. But I have a problem, the drill down is working with a table, and not with the treemap. Any idea of why ? The second problem is that I can’t hide the categories/subcategories when they are not selected. I tried with an action filter but it didn’t work. Is there a technical way to do that ? Thanks in advance for any help

Is it possible to do this for more than one layer? For example, drilling from year to half to quarter to week?

Looks great but it only works in a worksheet and not in a dashboard?

Hi Andy, I have a requirement where on clicking technology I need only the corresponding subcategories whereas Furnitures and office supplies must be hidden. Is there a way to achieve that?

Hi, can it be possible to just show the subcategories of the specific category and not show the other catgories. and also if we can put the name of the category on top of the mention subcategories and show the total value while the break down of values below in front of remaining subcategories

Can this drill down also work in dashboard? Its not working for me in dashboard when I migrated the sheet into dashboard.

Can we do this in 'order date' dimension?

Hello, great vedios ..I am learning a lot..I just need one help..could you show same drill down in line charts for trends? I am unsuccessful in doing so

is this chainable?

Can this be also used in a time series drilldown instead of creating a set action drilldown? (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ICbXLgYvcWo.html)
