Learn Tableau by Working on Exciting Dashboards - Quick Table Calculations

This tutorial covers quick table calculations in Tableau, including running total, percent of total, percent difference, rank, moving average, and year-over-year growth. It explains how to apply these calculations to data, interpret results, and customize settings for different analytical needs.

What is the purpose of applying a filter in Tableau when setting up a data view?

• To limit the data to specific criteria

• To remove all data from the view

• To change the color scheme of the data

• To add more data to the view

What does the running total calculation in Tableau do?

• Calculates the average of all values

• Shows the difference between values

• Sums up values cumulatively

• Ranks the values

How does the percent of total calculation help in data analysis?

• It calculates the moving average

• It ranks the values in descending order

• It displays the percentage contribution of each value to the total

• It shows the cumulative sum of values

What does the percent difference calculation indicate?

• The average of all values

• The total sum of all values

• The percentage change from a previous value

• The rank of each value

In Tableau, what does the rank calculation determine?

• The cumulative sum of values

• The moving average of values

• The percentage contribution of each value

• The order of values based on size

What is the purpose of the moving average calculation?

• To find the average of a set of values over a specified range

• To calculate the total sum of values

• To show the percentage change from a previous value

• To determine the rank of each value

How does the year-over-year growth calculation function?

• It ranks the values in ascending order

• It shows the growth compared to the same period in the previous year

• It calculates the average of all values

• It compares the current value to the next value
