Is it possible to allow users to change inputs on a Tableau dashboard to dynamically change the dashboard itself? Sort of like how in excel, you can set up some input cells and see the chart auto update accordingly.

That's possible with parameters.

Correct. Parameters are basically user inputs that you can turn into dimensions to dynamically control a viz.

The best example is you can use a parameter to change the metric in the chart. Say a parameter had the options Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin - you can use that to control a trend chart of weather in that unit.

Parameters are very powerful once you master the basic concept of how to use them. Google a few examples and you’ll get the gist.

Yes. You can set them up to allow the end user to select any value, or a value in and range, or a set of values. You can also make the default value dynamic based on the user and options dynamic based on the user.

Like parameters? Or filters?

More like parameters. For example, let's say I want to show a chart that's based on outputs from a model. In excel, I could toggle between different input options, and that would flow through thr model and the chart.

Is this possible via a Tableau dashboard? Or is it more "static"?

Looking for an entry level remote tech position. Honestly not picky, current TC is 111k anything close to that would be appreciated.

I've been working at my current job for about a year now and I'm finally beginning to understand how the company works.

It's not easy, though. It's a small company, which means there are only a few of us in each department. There is no dedicated training team, so we all have to learn new things on the fly through trial-and-error or by asking our coworkers for help. The management team seems to be pretty hands off when it comes to project management and project direction, so it's up to us engineers to figure out how we want to spend our time and who we want to work with.
