2023-12-03 by Johan de Groot

Now and then you encounter data with ‘extreme values’. Values which are much larger than the other ones – and so hard to analyse.

Tableau’s Order of Operations

2022-10-18 by Johan de Groot

The order of operations in Tableau refers to the sequence in which the software processes the data and calculations in a given worksheet or visualization.

It shows in which sequence filters are handled with by Tableau: first extract filters, than datasource, context, dimension, measure and table calculation filters.

The ‘inserts’ on the right are calculations themselves.
