Using Calculations: Working with Aggregations

How does Tableau aggregate data in calculations? Learn best practices to control how Tableau aggregates your data. Use a calculated field to predetermine the order of operations for the aggregation. Investigate the different results between aggregation performed at the row level and aggregation performed within your calculation. 

Lesson Objectives

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

  • Create a calculation without aggregating each field. 
  • Adjust the aggregation level for fields in a calculation.
