Let's learn how to set up a filter in Tableau to specify the data you want to show. Adding a filter in Tableau is one of the most interesting options available. Of course, we’ll add a filter to our table. From a user’s stand point the only field which makes sense to be filtered in this table is the “Year” field. A person could be interested in seeing numbers for 2016 or 2017 only, for example. So, what I’ll do is select the “Analysis” tab, and then select “Filters”, choosing the “year” field as we had already decided we would like to create a filter for years. And as we do that, a filter appears on the right side of our workspace area. Now, we can easily hide 2017 for example. I’ll simply untick its value and everything related to 2017 disappears from the sheet. Pretty cool, right? Of course, we can do the same with 2016. I’ll select 2017 and untick 2016. We can easily change the filter’s formatting by selecting format filters, or alternatively we change the filter’s title by clicking on the Edit Title button. ► Consider hitting the SUBSCRIBE button if you LIKE the content: https://www.youtube.com/c/365DataScience?sub_confirmation=1 ► VISIT our website: https://bit.ly/365ds 🤝 Connect with us LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/365datascience/ 365 Data Science is an online educational career website that offers the incredible opportunity to find your way into the data science world no matter your previous knowledge and experience.
