I walk through two quality of life improvements to the data pane in Tableau 2022.3. The first is a modifier shortcut to copy a dimension as a measure by holding command or control while dragging, and the second is automatic scrolling so the data pane jumps to a calculation when you move it into a folder.

## Key takeaways

- Hold command (Mac) or control (Windows) while dragging a dimension across the measures line to create a count distinct copy without manually duplicating it first
- The original dimension stays in place when you use the copy modifier, so you keep both versions
- When you move a calculation into a folder, the data pane now automatically scrolls to where that measure sits
- These are refinements to long-requested behaviours rather than brand-new features, useful as teaching shortcuts for new Tableau users
