Can you create moveable data points within Tableau?
My name is Phil, and I am just curious if anyone knows if you can create moveable data points within Tableau? Or does anyone know how to create and display moveable data points in another program other than Tableau?? I mean, can you display in Tableau a moving object that is constantly changing X and Y coordinates? If this isn't possible I understand, just wondering if it's even possible in Tableau 9.2 or any other version of Tableau.

Have you looked into the pages shelf?

Try with page shelf. Page shelf is used for creating some motions on data points.

Thank you for the help, page shelf is exactly what I'm looking for. A follow up question for you, I can't seem to get more than 1 set of points to show up on my background image. I am wondering if it is possible to get 4 different sets of points onto one sheet running simultaneously. Here is my example, I have 4 different sheets each with a different set of points, I am wondering can I get all 4 of those different sets onto the same background so each set of points is moving together. Thanks again for the help.

You need to reshape your data. You need one dim on pages and a single x/y coordinate to get them all on one sheet.
Now you can get them all on the court.

There it is. I tried to arrange the data differently, but that is what I was looking for. Thank you this all is just what I was looking for. Appreciate all the help.
