Where to look when formatting gets stuck in Tableau

You can format settings for fonts, alignment, shading, borders, lines and tooltips at the worksheet level, however, sometimes Tableau doesn't do what you think it should. In this video, I show you some quirks with formatting.

Two things re: Clearing Formatting, when you don't need to clear the formatting for the entire sheet: 1.) The Clear button at the bottom of the formatting pane will clear just the formatting changes within the currently selected formatting category (Font, Alignment, Shading, Borders, Lines). 2.) Individual format control labels (Header, Pane, Cell, Level, Ref Lines, etc.) will change from regular to bold font when you modify a setting control and the label will remain bold even if you change it back to the Tableau default setting. Once the label text is bold, you can right-click the label to show a clear button, which will clear just that individual formatting control and the label font weight will revert back from bold to regular.

Another formatting issue is two or more labels. Formatting at the field level stops working. Instead formatting has to be done on the Label mark (click ... beside Text)
