1. Dimensions vs Measures

Dimension = Dimensions are categorical data fields that provide context and
structure to your visualizations. They typically include qualitative data such as
names, dates, geographical locations, or any other attribute that you can use to
categorize and segment your data. Dimensions are often placed on the rows and
columns shelves in Tableau to organize and analyze data effectively.

Measures = Measures are numerical data fields that represent values that can be
measured and aggregated. They typically include quantitative data such as sales
figures, profit margins, quantities, or any other numerical metrics that you want
to analyze or perform calculations on. Measures are often used in creating
calculations, performing aggregations, and generating visualizations to gain
insights from your data.
Continuous = continuous typically refers to a type of data that represents
a range of values, such as numbers along a scale. For example,
continuous variables could include things like sales amounts,
temperatures, or time durations. In Tableau, you can analyze and
visualize continuous data using various tools and features to understand
trends and patterns.

Discreate = discrete refers to a type of data that represents distinct


categories or individual values. Discrete variables are typically non-
continuous and include things like categories, names, or IDs. Examples
of discrete data could be product categories, customer segments, or
geographic regions. In Tableau, you can analyze and visualize discrete
data using different chart types and filters to explore patterns and
relationships within the data.
3. Formating

Formatting in Tableau refers to the customization of visual elements


within your data visualizations to make them more visually appealing,
understandable, and effective in conveying information. This includes
adjusting colors, fonts, sizes, borders, labels, and other stylistic elements
to enhance the overall appearance and readability of your charts, graphs,
and dashboards. Formatting options in Tableau allow you to tailor your
visualizations to match your organization's branding or to better suit the
preferences of your audience.
4. Labels
Labels in Tableau are used to provide additional context or information
to data points in a visualization. They can be applied to various elements
within a visualization, such as marks, axes, headers, and reference lines.
Labels help viewers understand the data being presented and can
improve the clarity and interpretation of the visualization.

1. Data Labels: You can add labels to individual data points in a


visualization to display specific values or information associated with
those points. This is useful for showing exact values on charts like bar
charts, line charts, or scatter plots.

2. Axis Labels: Axis labels provide information about the scale and units
represented on the axes of a chart. You can customize axis labels to
include additional context or formatting, such as units of measurement
or date formats

3. Header Labels: Header labels are used to title or label different


sections of your visualization, such as the title of a chart or the labels for
different categories or dimensions.

4. Reference Line Labels: When you add reference lines to a


visualization, you can include labels to provide context for the reference
line, such as the value or name of the reference line.
5. Different types of charts

1. Bar Chart: Used to compare categorical data by displaying rectangular bars of lengths
proportional to the values they represent.

2. Line Chart: Suitable for showing trends over time or ordered categories by connecting data
points with lines.

3. Pie Chart: Represents parts of a whole, with each slice of the pie corresponding to a category
and its size representing the proportion of the whole.

4. Scatter Plot: Displays the relationship between two variables by plotting data points on a two-
dimensional coordinate system.

5. Heat Map: Utilizes color gradients to represent values in a matrix format, making it easy to
identify patterns and variations in large datasets.

6. Histogram: Visualizes the distribution of numerical data by grouping data into bins and
displaying the frequency of values within each bin as bars.

7. Tree Map: Hierarchically displays data as nested rectangles, with each rectangle representing a
category and its size indicating a quantitative value.

8. Gantt Chart: Illustrates project schedules by showing tasks as horizontal bars along a timeline,
with the length of each bar representing the duration of the task.

9. Box Plot: Summarizes the distribution of numerical data using quartiles, displaying the
minimum, maximum, median, and interquartile range as a box and whisker plot.

10. Bullet Chart: Compares the performance of a measure to a target value, typically used in
dashboards to provide a concise overview of performance against goals.

11. Area Chart: Similar to a line chart, but the area between the line and the x-axis is filled with
color, making it useful for visualizing cumulative totals or proportions over time.

12. Waterfall Chart: Illustrates how an initial value is affected by sequential positive and
negative values, resembling a series of floating bars that start at one level and end at another.

13. Bubble Chart: Extends the concept of a scatter plot by adding a third dimension, with data
points represented as bubbles where the size of each bubble indicates a third variable.

14. Dual-Axis Chart: Combines two different chart types on the same axes, allowing for the
visualization of two related measures with different scales, such as combining a bar chart with a
line chart.
15. Pareto Chart: Displays both individual values and cumulative values in descending order,
emphasizing the most significant factors by plotting them on a secondary axis as a line.

16. Radar Chart: Visualizes multivariate data in the form of a two-dimensional chart with three
or more quantitative variables represented on axes starting from the same point.

17. Histogram: Similar to a bar chart, but specifically used to display the distribution of
numerical data by grouping data into intervals or bins and showing the frequency of values
within each bin.

18. Box-and-Whisker Plot: Also known as a box plot, it summarizes the distribution of numerical
data using quartiles, outliers, and the range of the data

19. KPI Chart: Stands for Key Performance Indicator chart, used to visualize key metrics or
performance indicators to track progress towards specific goals or targets.

20. Word Cloud: Represents text data visually by displaying words in varying sizes, with the size
of each word indicating its frequency or importance within the text.
