Introducing Balance Scale Charts in Tableau

Dan Bunker provides a step-by-step guide, starting with connecting to Tableau’s Sample – Superstore dataset and creating parameters for the two groups to compare. With just four calculated fields, you can build a dynamic and interactive chart that responds to user input. Whether you’re comparing sales between regions, performance metrics across departments, or any other paired data, the Balance Scale chart offers a fresh perspective. This technique is a valuable addition to any Tableau user’s toolkit, enabling more engaging and informative dashboards.
