WRAPPED BARS / RELEASE NOTES
What’s new.
The first public release of Wrapped Bars for Tableau.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2026 · CURRENT
0.1.6 — First public release
Wrapped Bars brings large and small values together in one Tableau chart. Values wrap into stacked horizontal rows on a shared scale: 5,468 becomes five full rows of 1,000 plus a final row of 468.
- Flexible wrapping. Choose an automatic power-of-ten scale or a fixed amount per row. Optionally let viewers choose Auto, a preset, or a custom amount and reset to the author’s setting. Viewer controls start hidden; viewer changes last for the session.
- Clear values and guides. Optional totals sit inside the bottom bar, with automatic white or dark text for the bar color. Muted cumulative guides, such as 1k, 2k, and 3k, appear at the right end of full bars and are on by default.
- A configurable top axis. Show or hide the axis, or hide only its centered, bold title. Set the title, tick intervals, gridlines, separate line/tick and number colors, standard or compact numbers, decimal places, prefixes, and suffixes.
- Formatting that fits your workbook. Follow available Tableau fonts, text color, and background, or customize typography. Choose bar color, row height, sorting, and Tableau or custom value formatting. Defaults use Tableau-style blue bars, a light gray axis, and gray numbers.
- Simple editing. Settings are grouped into Wrapping, Axis, Bars & values, and Typography & color. Apply updates the chart while keeping settings open; Save applies and closes. Reset defaults restores the starting appearance. Author settings are retained with the saved workbook.
- Accessible chart data. An expandable, keyboard-accessible table provides complete category names and formatted values in the chart’s sort order. Controls have text labels and visible keyboard focus.
- Browser-based processing. The chart reads Tableau worksheet summary data and responds to data and formatting changes. The extension does not upload worksheet values to our hosting or request full underlying data access.
Free for personal and commercial use, with optional credit and best-effort support from Jackson Two. Start with the installation guide, including the prefilled administrator request email, or try the demo.
