Follow along in the sample packaged workbook found in the Attachments section to review the following options and steps.

Option 1

 Create a URL Action which will pass dimensions to the target URL

1. Publish the target dashboard and copy the URL from the browser
2. Open the source dashboard in Tableau Desktop
3. Go to Dashboard > Actions...
4. Select Add Action > URL...
5. In the URL field, enter the URL of the published target dashboard
6. At the end of the URL, remove the ?:iid=n if it is there. Then, after the worksheet name, type ?<DimensionName>. The URL should appear something like this: https://server.example.com/#/site/Default/views/WorkbookName/DashboardName?Category=
7. After the = sign, enter the value you want to load in the target dashboard.
   • To have the target dashboard load the same value every time, type in the value, for example: https://server.example.com/#/site/Default/views/WorkbookName/DashboardName?Category=Furniture
   • To have the target dashboard load the value of the selected mark, insert the field value using the right arrow button. The URL should look something like this: https://server.example.com/#/site/Default/views/WorkbookName/DashboardName?Category=<Category>
   • To have the target dashboard load the value of a Parameter selection, the URL should look something like this: https://server.example.com/#/site/Default/views/WorkbookName/DashboardName?Category=<Parameter 1>
   • To have the target dashboard load multiple values of the selected mark, use an & to chain the values. The URL should look something like this: https://server.example.com/#/site/Default/views/WorkbookName/DashboardName?Category=<Category>&Segment=<Segment>
8. If there are spaces or other special characters, select URL Encode Data Values
9. If you are passing multiple values, select Allow Multiple Values
10. Click OK.

Follow the steps in URL Actions, and include the Allow Multiple Values option.

 Option 2

 Move all of the worksheets into one workbook and use a dashboard Filter Action

1. On the dashboard, navigate to Dashboard > Actions….
2. In the Action dialog box select Add Action > Filter….

   • Name the action filter.
   • For Source Sheets, check any worksheets that the user will click to navigate to the second dashboard.
   • For Run action on, choose Select.
