In this Tableau Tip I will show you how to embed a dashboard in another dashboard. Why would you want to do this? Will it create a rip in the Space-time continuum? (no promises on the 2nd one)

Embedding a dashboard in another dashboard will let you do interesting things like give your users a tabbed view with additional insights. If you’re a purist this could be considered blasphemy however in our modern times our users demand more and my recommendation is to give them what they want (most times)!

Basic Flow:

Publish a workbook w/ 2 (or more) tabs you want to embed into another dashboard Get the share URL of that viz and add &:toolbar=no to the end of it Put a new web page object on your dashboard and paste in this URL

Tips:

Use Tableau Server or Tableau Online. Tableau Public will retain the branding on the bottom regardless of what you do.

Set your embedded viz’s to fill the entire screen, otherwise it might not give you the resolution you want when embedded

Use this power wisely

Enjoy!
