This Tableau article shows how to create a Gradient Bar chart using the Calculated Fields with an example. For this demo, we used FactInternetSales, DimCustomer, and DimGeography Tables.
Create a Tableau Gradient Bar Chart
Right-click the Empty space and select the Create Calculated Field.. option will open the below window. Let me rename it as Zero and 0 as the value. Please refer to the Calculated Field article in Tableau.
Add State Province Name to Rows and Measure Values to Columns Shelf to create a horizontal bar chart. It automatically adds all the Numeric or Measures data to the Measure Value section.

Click the down button beside the State Province Name and choose the Filter Option to display the Top 15 records by Sales. You can refer to the Top and Bottom Filters article.
Now, you can see the Top 15 States with the highest sales.
