Chapter 10. Analytics and Parameters

Analytics and parameters are two significant but easy ways to enhance your work. Analytics tools offer new insights, such as Trend Line, Forecast, and Cluster. With Parameters, you'll discover a new way of bringing interactivity to your visualizations with user inputs.

In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:

  • Using built-in Analytics tools
  • How to work with Parameters
  • Creating a year-over-year comparison

If you went through all the chapters prior to this one, you know what data source we'll be using! If this is the first chapter you are reading, all the examples and a guided tutorial can be reproduced with the Sample – Superstore data source, which you can find on the first page when opening Tableau.
