Introducing functions
As discussed earlier in this chapter, it may be helpful to enhance your understanding of table calculations with the following two questions: what is the function and how is the function applied? We will begin by grouping each table calculation function to be directional or non-directional.
Tableau offers a wide range of table calculations, but if we narrow our consideration to unique groups of table calculation functions, we will discover that there are only 11.
The following table shows those 11 functions organized into two categories:
|
Directional Functions |
Non-Directional Functions |
