  • Customize Colors in Visualizations
    Apply custom colors to a Tableau Next visualization to make them more engaging and easier to interpret. Choose colors that align with your branding, provide visual cues about data patterns, or highlight business priorities. You can set up to 10 custom colors in a chart. If a chart has more than 10 values, it reuses the colors in sequential order.
  • Size Encoding in Tableau Next Visualizations
    Use size encoding to highlight differences in values in bar, square, or circle mark types. You can base mark size on the values of the continuous measure field represented by the marks. Or, base the mark size on values of a different continuous measure field of your choice. Choose relative sizing to highlight contrast between values or absolute sizing to to apply a uniform scale based on a fixed pixel range. Combine size with color to interpret data easily
