#WOW2021 W42 | Tableau | Can you use set actions to create a reference date range?

Introduction

This week I team up with Erica Hughes to create this fabulous challenge. I had an idea in my head to recreate something similar to the Brush Filter challenge by Sean. In my mind I did it with Parameter Actions, however when speaking to Erica she showed me the Set Actions Version. So that’s what we went with. Erica kindly provided me with her solution and I loved it so much I decided to use it for this challenge. So thank you Erica!

Requirements

  • Dashboard Size: 1000px by 800 px
  • # of Sheets – up to you
  • Create a Line chart which has a selectable date range using SET ACTIONS ONLY! Which is shown with a reference band and different colour line.
  • DO NOT USE FILTER ACTIONS
  • Create BANS to show Total and Average Sales AND filtered to the selected date range
  • Create a Top 3 States with % of Total and Donut Chart
  • Along with a Map.
  • Every chart apart from the TOTAL sales should be filterable by the date range!
Extra
  • If you can create with Set Actions, then recreate with Parameter Actions.
