That catches people out all the time until you realise it.

Hi Tim, I have a question. In my view, There is a Month/year, Category and sales. I use parameter action to drill down the category to sub-category but it is drilling down the category every month. How to fix this As it will only drill down the Selected month Category?

#Question Hi Tim, thanks for sharing all the knowledge with us and keeping us updated with all the new things in Tableau. I have a question that I hope will be interesting to some other members too. I tried to make buttons that will run me through filter items one by one. For example, if I wanted to see how many items of a specific kind we sold each day through the month and place items filter with checkboxes I will need to check one and uncheck the other one to get it done. And I will need to do it for all X items I have in my shop, maybe every day. So, "next" and "previous" buttons to switch between items in the filter would help a lot since I want to inspect them all, one by one. Is this possible to make through the "parameter actions", "buttons" or any other way in Tableau? Thanks a lot :)

can we drag a parameter to row shelf and show the value its holding . I tried it , however its not showing the default it has.

I don't understand why you would wanna do this, but I tried it and it works.

Thank you so much for this ..Also, I want to hide / show quick filters based on the parameter value I have selected. How can I do that?

[@TableauTim]

you could write a calculation that checks your parameter then place that calculation on a separate sheet which you use as a filter. You can then make certain sheets ( quick filters) conditional this way. its a bit messy for my liking but a way round if you have to do that.
