Dogs of Zurich.

Synchronous scrolling is something quite annoying in Tableau. Whenever one has two or more tables that should behave as one it gets a bit hard to make this happen in an easy way. I was applying a simple parameter/filter approach, but it’s still not perfect.

In addition, I was using the first time a layout container’s show/hide button. It allows one to easily switch between two visualizations. There are various ways of how to make use of this pretty cool feature.

And because I needed data to check out these two functionalities I searched Open Data Zurich for interesting datasets. What I found was a couple of datasets (one for each year) about the numbers of registered dogs in the city of Zurich (CH). Unified in Tableau this data resulted in the Viz Dogs of Zurich.
