Let’s get started with Tableau — Part 2.

Join Data in Tableau

Tableau provides an important functionality used to join two or more tables having common fields

You can join data from multiple sources or join data from different tables in a single source

Types of Joins

  • Left Join : all records from the left/first table are selected and the records which have the same values on the right side/second table are selected. No records will be selected from the right, if there are no equal values
  • Right Join: all the records from the right side/second table are selected and the records which have the same values on the left side table are selected. No records will be selected from the first table if there are no equal values
  • Inner Join : only the records which have the same values on both tables get selected
  • Full Outer Join : records from both left and right table are evaluated, all the records are selected and displayed, missing attributes are allocated NULL values

Type Conversion in Tableau

Type conversion functions allow you to convert fields from one data type to another

  • You can convert numbers to strings, date to strings etc
  • The conversion functions are STR(), DATE(), DATETIME(), INT(), and FLOAT()

Tableau User Functions

It’s used to create user filters or row-level security filters that affect visualizations

FULLNAME( ) : Gives the full name for the current user

ISFULLNAME(string) : Gives true if the current user’s full name matches the specified full name or else False

ISMEMBEROF(string): Gives true if the person currently using Tableau is a member of a group that matches the given string

ISUSERNAME(string) : Gives true if the current user’s username matches the specified username, or else false

USERDOMAIN() : Gives domain for the current user

USERNAME( ) : Gives the username for the current user

Tableau Logical Functions

Logical functions/calculations allow you to determine if a certain condition is true or false ( boolean).

Tableau provides Logical Functions such as AND, NOT, OR, IF, ELSEIF, IF Else, CASE, ISNULL, IFNULL, ZN, IIF, etc. to perform logical operations on our data.

AND Function : Expression_1 AND Expression_2

OR Function : Expression_1 OR Expression_2

NOT Function : NOT(Expression)

IIF(Expression, True_statement, False_Statement)

ISNULL(Expression)

ZN(Expression)

IFNULL(Expression, Value)

CASE []

WHEN <expression> THEN <expression>

WHEN <expression> THEN <expression>

ELSE <expression>

END

Calculated Fields

When you create a calculated field, you are actually creating a new field (or column) in your data source, the values or members of which are determined by a calculation that you control. This new calculated field is saved to your data source in Tableau, and can be used to create more robust interactive visualizations.

  • With Calculated fields you can —

Aggregate data

Filter results

Calculate ratios

Segment data

Convert the data type of a field

Tableau Field Operations

We can rename, combine, or create a field using the filed operation feature. It helps in better organization of the dimension and measure variables and also helps in accommodating two or more fields with the same name for better data analysis.

Some of the field operations are —

Combining Two Fields

Set of Two Fields

Grouping of fields

Adding Field to Worksheet in Tableau
