Tableau parameters are powerful tools that allow you to create dynamic dashboards and reports. Here's a quick guide to get started:
Creating a Parameter
- Go to the Data menu and select Create Parameter.
- Choose the parameter type (e.g., String, Integer, Date).
- Set a default value and name it (e.g.,
Sales_Threshold
).
Using Parameters in Calculations
- Insert the parameter into your worksheet using the
IF
function. - Example:
IF([Sales] >= [Sales_Threshold], "High", "Low")
- Insert the parameter into your worksheet using the
Parameter Actions
- Right-click a parameter and select Parameter Action to link it to filters or other elements.
- Use Set Value to dynamically update data based on user input.
