Filters: Used to narrow down the data displayed on your visualizations based on specific conditions.
Marks Card: Controls the visual details of charts, such as color, size, text, and tooltip.
Calculated Fields: Custom calculations created using formulas to add new insights to your data.
Aggregations: Functions like SUM
, AVG
, and COUNT
that summarize large sets of data.
Dashboards: Collections of visualizations combined into a single view to tell a more comprehensive story.
Actions: Interactive elements that allow users to filter, highlight, or navigate between sheets in a dashboard.
