\r\n

Aggregation<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The process of summarizing data, typically using operators like SUM, AVG, COUNT, etc., to synthesize values into a single result.<\/p>\r\n

Calculated Field<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A user-defined field that is derived from other fields using formulas or expressions.<\/p>\r\n

Colo<\/strong>u<\/strong>r Card<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A component in the marks shelf that allows users to assign colours to data points based on dimensions or measures.<\/p>\r\n

Dashboard<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A collection of visualizations, filters, and other components displayed on a single view for interactive data comparisons.<\/p>\r\n

Data Connection<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The linkage between Tableau and a data source that enables users to access and visualize data.<\/p>\r\n

Detail Card<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A component in the marks shelf where users can add dimensions or measures to increase the granularity of a visualization, resulting in more marks being displayed.<\/p>\r\n

Dimension Fields<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Dimensions are fields that encompass categorical or qualitative data types, such as strings, dates, Boolean values, and geographic information.<\/p>\r\n

Filters<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Tools that allow users to slice or control the data displayed in visualizations based on specific criteria.<\/p>\r\n

Group<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A way to merge related dimension members into a single entity for simplified analysis.<\/p>\r\n

Hierarchical Field<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A structured arrangement of fields in a parent-child relationship, allowing users to drill down or roll up data across different levels (e.g., Year > Quarter > Month).<\/p>\r\n

Label Card<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A component in the marks shelf that enables users to display text labels on the data points within a visualization.<\/p>\r\n

Marks Shelf<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A section in the Tableau worksheet where users can customize how data points (marks) are displayed in a visualization. It allows users to customize the visual properties of marks.<\/p>\r\n

Measure Fields<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Fields that contain numeric or quantitative values are referred to as measures.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Parameter<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A dynamic value that can replace a constant in calculations or filters, enabling interactive data exploration.<\/p>\r\n

Sets<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Sets are custom groups of data points based on specific criteria.<\/p>\r\n

Size Card<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A component in the marks shelf that permits users to adjust the size of marks in a visualization based on a measure.<\/p>\r\n

Tooltip<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A pop-up text box that appears when hovering over a data point, providing additional information.<\/p>\r\n

Visualization<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A graphical depiction of data, such as a chart, graph, or map, developed to summarize raw data and convey insights.<\/p>\r\n

Workbook<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A workbook is a Tableau file that contains one or more worksheets, dashboards, and stories.<\/p>\r\n

Worksheet<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A worksheet is a single sheet within the workbook where you create specific visualizations.<\/p>\r\n
