Tableau View Data Model Enhancements #dataanlysis #tableaudesktop #datamodelling

0:00Be aware of how tableau data models are used within a viz or worksheet, and which table supply data to which pills in a viz.

0:06If a complex calculation is used within a pill, hovering over the pill

0:11highlights the participating tables in the view.

0:13So this is actually really good.

0:15What they're saying is before you could look at a sheet

0:18and see the data model components that it was using.

0:21That was fine, but you see the calculations in the view are separate from just necessarily the logical components

0:29So if you use a calculation that spans multiple components of the view model that you're seeing in that specific sheet, you can see here we're looking at sheet number 10.

0:37If you hover over a calculation, you'll actually get to see which components of the logical model are being used.

0:43So essentially another level of perspective, one the data model, which then allows you to compute and understand how that data model is resolving.

0:52This is helpful if you're trying to fix a broken relationship or you're just not getting the right number and you're trying to understand why.

0:58This should help map that issue out a lot easier.

1:01VData model is generally available in Tableau Cloud, Desktop, and Tableau Public.
