What are some effective filtering techniques in Tableau?

In Tableau, you can use various filtering techniques such as dimension filters, measure filters, relative date filters, and context filters. Would you like to know more about any specific type?

Can you explain dimension filters?

Dimension filters allow you to include or exclude specific values from your data. For example, you can filter a sales report to show only data from certain regions or product categories.

How do I create a context filter?

To create a context filter, right-click on the filter you want to set as context and select 'Add to Context'. This will limit the data available for other filters based on the context filter.

What are relative date filters?

Relative date filters let you filter data based on a range of dates relative to the current date, such as 'last 30 days' or 'next quarter'. This is useful for dynamic reporting.
