Hi,
I'm a newbie to Tableau.
I was wondering if there is a list of most commonly used functions or important functions which one must know while learning/working on tableau.
Can you all please comment according to your experience and what you felt that one should know atleast these functions.
End of the day,I will try to compile all those comments and will try to make a list of functions as must-know functions.
Any help regarding this will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Arya
Bill's approach is solid and I have to agree that it's good to familiarize yourself with the basic built-in functions, and a good document for this is the Online Help doc on the Tableau Knowledgebase: http://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/pro/online/windows/en-us/help.htm
Beyond that in addition to Table Calculations and LoD Calculations are Bill mentioned, I would also say it's valuable to familiarize yourself with Parameters and Calculations, which can in general be used to alter and customize your data internally, and create an interactive experience by using them as Filters.
Moreso than anything, the important portions of the program are going to be largely based on your needs and goals with the data you're using.
