How can I automatically add pictures in Tableau Tooltip? - excel

I created a Tableau Workbook/Dashboard to easily view (by state) a list of all the growers in our network. Within Tableau, I can easily view the company's info with the Tooltip and a linked window to their website. But, my employers would like me to add images directly into the tool tip, so that when the cursor hovers over a specific shipper, both their information and images of their products are displayed. Below is a link to my public test workbook.

An option would be to use the Viz in Tooltip, where you display another worksheet in the tooltip. This will be some work in your case; you would need to get all of the images and use them in Tableau as custom shapes.
You could create a worksheet with all of the growers and their images as shapes. Then, using the above viz in tooltip, filter that worksheet in the tooltip to only return that growers image.

How to zoom a sheet in revit api?

I wrote an external command that creates detail views for doors, windows, etc and puts each object in a separate sheet.
Sometimes the new sheets are zoomed-out by default (the yellow circle shows the actual sheet).
I guess it has to do with the witness lines (in the blue circle).
Sheet zoomed out
I tried activating the views and then found their uiView and used the zoom methods but they don't seem to make a difference (possibly because they work in model coordinates and not in sheet outline coordinates).
uv.ZoomToFit();
Manual zoom-to-fit works fine.
Also, the sheet's outline property is correct (not too large).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
You can use the ShowElements method to zoom to an element. That does the same as zoom-to-fit to a specific set of elements. The element may possibly also be the sheet itself.
The Building Coder discusses how that can also be used to Switch View or Document.
Also, look at displaying a text file from a TaskDialog command link.

How to grab numbers from chart in powerpoint with broken link to excel sheet

I have a Powerpoint file that has been emailed to me. It has a chart with selectable columns and labels, indicating that it's not just an image. When I try to edit the chart in order to extract the data, I get the message "The linked file is not available. To edit the link, click the File tab. Click the info tab, and then under Related Documents, click Edit Links to Files."
If i click Open Source, it says it can't find it. If I click Break Link, it's no longer editable when right clicking the table.
The data must be in there since it's displaying the values. How can I extract the data?
Generally, what you see on screen is a metafile picture of the linked chart or other content. The data behind it is unavailable if the link's broken or missing. You may be able to get what you want by ungrouping the chart (or better, a copy of it). You'll probably need to ungroup a few times, but you should be able to access the text (as individual, unrelated text boxes).

How to create nested tiles in Power View

I am currently able to use the tile feature in Power View to view data much more quickly. However I haven't figured out a way to have nested tiles to further drill down into the relevant data.
For example, I want a tile strip at the top of my view of all the different "Projects." Once I click on a tile, I want to see all the relevant data for that project and have part of that container have a strip of tiles to show "Risks, Issues, Action Items, etc." and other items in a list. See image in this link (it is a non-working dashboard, but showing you all to get a better idea of the hierarchy).
Does any one know how to do this? I know I can use slicers instead for one of the levels or view filters but I want to be able to use tiles for both.
If you use a slicer within your tile it will almost do what you want. However, you wouldn't get the nice icons for warning & error to be the source of selection. You could make it more visual by separately having a table that includes the images so that when a user selects a slicer value, it shows the appropriate icon.

Dynamically change chart after clicking an icon in Excel

I am doing a dashboard. To resolve the problem with the space, I would like to show a chart which changes depending of which icon an user clicks (see image in following link: http://screencast.com/t/IvzllhxCi).
Charts are already done and ranges defined. The chart showed in the dashboard was inserted using the "Paste picture link" function (sorry if this is not the correct name, but I use Excel in spanish). I assume, that the best way to do it is creating different macros which define the data of a chart and are fired which every icon click, but... is there a more efficient way to do it?
How about just creating all the charts, putting them on top of each other and then showing / hidding the appropriate chart when a user clicks the icons via:
chart.Visible = xlSheetHidden;
And
chart.Visible = xlSheetVisible;
