Tableau Interview Questions - Video 4

There are 5 types of actions in Tableau: filter, highlight, go to URL, go to sheet, and change parameter/set values. There are various dashboard objects including horizontal, vertical, text, image, web page, and download. A floating layout allows customization of chart sizes and locations, while a tiled layout depends on dashboard and surrounding object sizes. VizQL is the language that Tableau uses to translate user interactions like dragging fields into queries to render visualizations. Table calculations reside in the Tableau interface, while calculated fields appear as separate columns and are user-defined. LOD stands for level of detail and is used for complex queries at the data source level instead of bringing all data into Tableau
