Multiple lines in Tableau
How do I work with multiple lines on the same or on a secondary axis in Tableau? - I found it a bit hard to work around this when I started using Tableau (and thought it was more fun to build new stuff than seeing the online training videos). Here is how I do it today:
Add a measure to the same Axis
Drag the new measure onto the existing axis and drop it when you see the two green rulers side by side:
Add a measure to the secondary Axis (and change the style)
Drag the measure all the way to right and drop it when you see the stepped line:
Maybe you want to synchronize the axis and uncheck "Show header" to remove the axis to the right:
Now you can format the secondary measure independently by using the mark shelf:

- It would be nice to have have the option of using multiple values on the secondary axis in the same way I can use it on the first axis. Wote for the idea here.
