Replace a sheet in Tableau dashboard 1. To replace a sheet, select it in the dashboard at right. 2. In the Sheets list at left, hover over the replacement sheet, and click the Swap Sheets button. Note: When you replace a sheet, Tableau retains any padding, border, or background color. However, you may need to adjust sheet size if content differs significantly. You may also need to delete dashboard items specific to the previous sheet, such as filters, which become blank.
