What is the use of the LEFT function in tableau

This recipe explains what is the use of the LEFT function in tableau

Recipe Objective - What is the use of the LEFT function in Tableau?

The LEFT function in tableau returns the left-most characters of the string. It finds application in the aviation sector.

Steps to create Left function.

Step 1 > Connect the "NFL Offensive Player stats, 1999-2013.xlsx" data set.

Step 2 > Create "Left Player" dimension calculated field using LEFT([Player], 3) calculation.

Step 3 > Drag the "Player" dimension and drop it onto the row shelf.

Step 4 > Drag the "Left Player" dimension and drop it onto the row shelf beside the Player dimension.

Our visualization using the LEFT function is Ready!
