Conclusion
In this section, we covered different ways to create calculated fields in Tableau as well as different types of calculated fields: basic, table calculations, and level of detail calculations. Our data sources will not have all the possible fields we want to use in our analysis. Calculated fields allow us to derive values based on logic and expressions; they ultimately add more flexibility and drive more insights into our Tableau dashboards.
