The proper font selection can take your visualization from good to great. Whether you're changing the font size, position, color, or direction, Tableau provides a wide range of customization options for your text. Show
When you make formatting changes at this level, they apply only to the view you're working on. See Format at the Workbook Level to learn how to make changes that apply to every view in your workbook. To access worksheet-level format settings, select the Format menu, then choose the part of the view, such as Font or Border, that you want to format. Format fontsIf you're working in Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud, select Format and then choose the element you want to format from the menu. You can choose to format the Individual Title, Caption, Legends, Filters and Sets, Highlighters, and Parameters. You can also Clear Worksheet Formatting in the Format menu. If you're working in Tableau Desktop, select Format > Font. A Format Font control pane will open. This control pane will let you customize the text in the view. Worksheet Editing the font at the worksheet level applies the changes you make to all text fields in view except the Header and Tooltip fields. Note:Tableau treats Worksheet formatting as a new default, and any changes to any other fields (such as Title, Pane, or Header) will overwrite the Worksheet format.
Pane Adjusting the font here will affect the pane view, which is where Tableau displays the results of your visualizations. Header Select this option to adjust font for the headers in your view. Headers display the dimensions used in your viz.
Tooltip Adjusting the font here will apply changes to all the text in the tooltip, the field that pops up when someone hovers over a mark in your view. If you want more control over the fields in the tooltip, see Format Text
Title Select this formatting option to quickly adjust the appearance of the Title. For more information, see Format Text
Total Header Adjusting the font for totals at the header changes the appearance of the Total and Grand Total label in the view.
Grand Total Pane Select this option to adjust the font for the grand total result in your view.
Grand Total Header Select this option to adjust the font for the grand total label in your view.
Row and Column Text Formatting If you have dimensions on both the row and column shelves, you can independently format the fonts through the Rows and Columns tabs on the Formatting pane.
The format font options are limited to the Header, Total, and Grand Total selections. Format text alignmentTableau uses visual best practices to determine how text is aligned in a view, but you can also customize your text alignment. For example, you can change the direction of header text so that it is horizontal (default) instead of vertical (up). To format the text alignment, select Format > Alignment to open the text alignment pane.
For each text area you can specify the following alignment options: Horizontal - Controls whether text aligns to the left, right, or center. Vertical Alignment - Controls whether text aligns at the top, middle, or bottom. Direction - Rotates text so that it runs horizontally (default), top-to-bottom (up), or bottom-to-top (down). Wrap - Controls whether long headers wrap to the next line or are abbreviated. It does not control text marks in the visualization. Note: If cells are not large enough to show more than one row of text, turning on wrapping will have no visible effect. If this happens, you can hover the cursor over a cell until a double-sided arrow appears, and then click and drag down to expand the cell size. Tableau adheres to regional standards when determining when to begin or end line breaks. Tooltips are details that appear when you rest the pointer over one or more marks in the view. Tooltips also offer convenient tools to quickly filter or remove a selection, select marks that have the same value or view underlying data. You can edit the tooltip to include both static and dynamic text. You can also modify which fields are included in the automatic tooltip. To edit a tooltip:
