#tableau #analytics #dates

This is a complete introduction to dates in Tableau. Get to know default properties (including changing calendars and fiscal years).

Understand date part and date value, and how these are different from simply being blue (discrete) or continuous (green) and knowing this difference can help you better work with Tableau when you work with date and time fields.

You will also see common charts like cycle plots, slope charts, heat map, highlight table.

(Special thanks to ‪@TableauTim‬ for the mention on his channel very thankful for the support)
