How to Avoid Scroll Bar in Tableau?!

To improve the user experience in Tableau by avoiding a scroll bar, you can implement a solution where users can select the number of bars to display, and the rest are grouped into an "Others" category. Here's a step-by-step guide to achieve this:

Step 1: Create a Control Parameter

• Go to the Data pane, right-click, and select Create Parameter.
• Name the parameter, for example, Top N PM .
