Hi Gregg, to add more map Layers you need to drag a new or duplicate Makepoint calculation onto the visualisation pane. If stuck, I wrote a 3 post blog series for Biztory on getting started with Map Layers, here: www.biztory.com/blog/tableau...

Absolutely, my eldest is 11, turning 12 soon. So I think I'm on my way out of the 'golden age' and so find it difficult now.

I find it more and more difficult as my kids grow up. They stay up longer in the evening before going to bed, and so they start eating into "my" time and I find I have less time to do the stuff I want to do as a consequence. It's become an effort for sure.

Drunken Gauge / Speedometer Charts I've wanted to build one for a while now! They are niche in their use case and I wouldn't recommend as the go to KPI visual, but they are fun and tell a story. Now published to my Tableau Public site (link below). Link: lnkd.in/ezbsfduj

Trying a bit of fun for a Friday and I can't even blame the drink for these Drunken Gauge Charts! 😅 Still a work in progress, but I'm getting there. #Tableau

Nice work Nicola! I particularly liked 4. About alternatives to Dual Axis. The intersection between two lines and the potential interpretation is something I am often guilty of overlooking.
