Add Worksheets

When you launch Visual Analytics for the first time, it automatically generates a sheet labeled "Worksheet 1” and displays the sheet name as the chart title in the chart view. This sheet name can be edited, formatted, and shown or hidden from the chart view. For more information, see Chart Title. If you want to create additional sheets, perform one of the following steps.

Click the [Add Worksheet] icon at the bottom of Visual Analytics or use the [Worksheet > New Worksheet] menu in the menu bar.

Duplicate Worksheets

To duplicate an existing Worksheet or Dashboard, left click its tab and select [Duplicate Worksheet]. This is useful for making a copy of your work so you can make modifications on existing views without altering the original content.

Info

It is a good idea to duplicate a sheet that contains a view you have already built before you begin to make changes, so you have a copy of your previous work. You can also use Undo and Redo if you need to undo/redo an action you performed.

...

Info

To retain values in a pivot grid view, Visual Analytics might change the definition of the table calculation while duplicating a chart.
Charts with disaggregate measures cannot be duplicated as pivot grid.
