I simply want users to hover on the text and click through to an external link without seeing this. If I hover back over the text, I see the dreaded border:
At the top of the workbook, I navigated to Format > Borders, and in the Format pane on the left side of the workbook, I selected Row Divider > Pane > None. I right-clicked on the text field that I added to the Rows shelf and unchecked Show Header. Next, I removed some of the default formatting around the text by doing the following: To start, I added my Text field to the Rows shelf and then dragged a copy of the same field to the Text icon on the Marks card. Luckily, after some troubleshooting, I figured out how to “remove” the border that appears around the text field when hovering over said field. However, there was a thin black border wrapped around the text when I would hover and click on it.
Recently, I needed to add a text box with an embedded URL to a client’s dashboard that read “Click to See Report.” The client, who still uses Tableau Desktop 10.5, wanted users to access an external report related to the dashboard content.
