Using the Performance Recorder
Using the Performance Recorder
Tableau's performance recorder helps you identify specific queries and views that are causing delays. In this lesson, we will learn how to run the performance recorder and interpret the results.
Optimizing Extracts
Optimizing Extracts
By altering the extracts that connect to your Tableau workbook, significant performance improvements can be made. Find out how in this lesson.
Joining Datasets Part 1
Joining Datasets Part 1
In many Tableau workbooks, you will need to join multiple data tables together. In this lesson, we will learn how to create joins in Tableau - which is surprisingly straightforward.
Joining Datasets Part 2
Joining Datasets Part 2
In this lesson, we examine the performance improvements that joins can provide. We will also investigate some problems you might encounter and how these can be detected and fixed.
Data Blending Part 1
Data Blending Part 1
Data blending is an alternative to joins and is pretty easy to implement in Tableau, through relationships. In this lesson, we will learn how to blend data and when to use this technique.
Data Blending Part 2
Data Blending Part 2
Data blending can create some tricky problems for users, especially beginners. In this lesson, we explore some of these problems that can occur and explain why joins are often a better option.
Optimizing the View
Optimizing the View
Changing your view can improve the performance of your Tableau workbook. In this lesson, I'll run through some tips to bear in mind if your views are taking a long time to load.
Faster Filters
Faster Filters
Filters can cause significant delays when generating views. In this lesson, we will learn how to optimize filters for performance - with a particular focus on quick filters.
Faster Calculations
Faster Calculations
Certain calculations can create performance delays in large datasets. This lesson provides some quick tips for optimizing calculations for speed.
