Tableau Tip: Creating a Connected Scatterplot

No comments
Today I had the incredible honor of helping Alberto Cairo create his very first Tableau visualization. Alberto chose to create a connected scatterplot.  Shortly thereafter on Twitter, Lynn Cherny asked:
So this post is dedicated to her question.  Here you go Lynn:

Step 1: Create the scatterplot


Step 2: Change the Mark type to Line


Step 3: Add a continuous date dimension to the Path shelf


Step 4: Add Markers to the lines via the Color shelf


Step 5: On each axis, uncheck the "Include Zero" option


Step 6: Add a dimension to the Color shelf to create additional lines


That's all there is to it!  Super simple!  Download the sample workbook here.
