Use Case #4 - Percent of Total - LOD vs Table Calculations
This step-by-step, easy-to-follow tutorial shows the difference between table calculations and LOD when calculating percent of total. It also showcases the difference between FIXED and EXCLUDE LOD expressions.
- Discover how to use fixed Level of Detail (LOD) expressions to keep your calculations consistent, regardless of the filters applied.
- Understand the nuanced differences between fixed and exclude LOD expressions when filters are applied, and how this impacts your data visualization and analysis.
-----
This is part of the Top 15 Level of Detail (LOD) Examples, based on the Tableau Whitepaper written by Bethany Lyons.
Each use case is explained in detail, with additional discussion on how LODs compare against regular calculated fields and table calculations, and things to watch out for. Some examples will use combinations of these types of calculations.
A variety of other topics and tidbits/tips and tricks will also be covered - applications of blue vs green, creating bins, drop field window, and many more
