As I am exploring your channel with more and more videos, I am realizing how much less I know about Tableau. While the official documentation gives every minute detail, the way you explain and put across the point; particularly the demos, makes the whole difference. Thanks a lot for this series! Stay blessed! 😊👍
I really appreciate your note, Vijay, and I am very happy to hear you're finding the videos useful 🙂
This is fantastic material. I am taking a introductory Udemy course for tableau and the instructor skipped dimension and measure as if its general knowledge and it left me scratching my head. You mam made it crystal clear. Please keep such amazing content coming, subscribed!
Hello Manav,
I am so happy to hear you found the video helpful. I hope you'll find other videos in the channel helpful as well 🙂
Donabel
Love your teaching style! Your ability to translate somewhat “ technical” terms to descriptive “layman” terminology is wonderful.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! Happy you found this useful :)
You are by far the best teacher when it comes to Tableau that I found on YT.
....Your tutorial is FUNDAMENTAL!👍
Thank you for your clarifications! 👍
Thank you for your feedback Mustapha!

Hats off Donabel for the crisp and clear content. I'm learning a lot of concepts from your videos.

Thank you Agape :)
I'm so glad I came across your Channel Belle. You just saved me a whole lot of stress in this project I was doing. You are so amazing and I'm excited to learn more from you. Thank you so much for this series. xoxo.
*_Excellent_* video Donabel! I've been using Tableau for a few months, but had never got a handle on these _vital_ concepts. In just 10 minutes, with such concrete examples, you've blown away the mental fog that surrounded my shaky understanding. Thank you so much! (I'll be sharing this video at work and on social channels, as I'm sure many other people are in the same boat.)
Thank you so much for your feedback Craig, I appreciate it. I actually have been thinking about this for a while (since these are the first topics I present to a new batch of students) .. and I created another video around the same 3 topics. Probably a review / expansion of the previous one. Not sure which take was better though, last year's or the most recent one :)
This is amazing . As you said the trial and error can really be resolved if the concept is clear, Thanks belle .
Very well explained videos. Tableau documentation just puts me to sleep. Your content is really great.

Hi, Your videos are amazing, I am learning a lot!
Do you have any idea how to calculate figures from sabe columns? Eg. I have a collumn (accounts) with Net Sales and CoGs, and other column with amounts. How could I calculate a rate cogs/net sales? In my understanding we can do it easily between columns but not between lines.
Thank you
Very well explained ! thank you :)
Thank you Jayasree!
I was wondering why dimensions and measures did not show up on my Tableau Interface. Thanks for clearing that up.

I need starter for tableau, where to start from for better understanding in short time.
Thank you drfarhan, this playlist might be helpful: ua-cam.com/play/PLkZ_g9Y7eszLQMnIy0hylgO9kJD4643jn.html
Hi,
While creating a tablechart only with dimension how to hide the last ABC column
Thank you Monika - I have provided a tip for that here: ua-cam.com/video/Yi_LvYgzxzw/v-deo.html
Hi Madam, i have just started to learn tableau .. I want to know one thing when we put filter ..there is a option we get relevant value in database and all values in database.. What does that mean please reply.?
respect!
Could you please create a tableau for beginners series? It would be of great help if you teach us
Thanks Mithun. This playlist may help. I have topics here in an order that you can follow if you are starting out with Tableau.
ua-cam.com/play/PLkZ_g9Y7eszLQMnIy0hylgO9kJD4643jn.html
Are there any specific topics you are looking for?
love love love
Hello, could you please make a video about the extract? What is the difference between the .hyper and .twb files? What if we make updates in the extract, how is data being saved/updates in the extract, which of the two files is being updated if a change is made. I still get a little confused...For example I am connected to a DB which is huge, and in order to make Tableau faster, I am creating an extract. I do the charts/dashboards in it and once I am done, i want to connect to the live connection. Then for example I want to make additional filtering on the extract ..scenarios like this. Thank you!
Thanks for the suggestion Me Shell! :) I will try to create one on extracts vs live vs twb/twbx.
Thank you !!!c
Thank you Neel!
One of the confusing subjects in Tableau explained the best way. Thank you Bell-SQL :-)
Thank you Sergey, glad to hear it was helpful 🙂
A fact table contains measure like Sales, Profit, Quantity and discount which can be aggregated
Yes, a fact table contains facts or measures 🙂
How does tableau rank as a career choice in 2022?
Thanks Preethi, do you mean doing Tableau exclusively? I am not sure I know of any stat, but typically we can use the tools to complement other skills and domain knowledge.
What is measure name and measure values ?
Thanks Shaik. Measure Names and Measure Values are the collection of labels and actual numeric values for your measures. Here is a reference, but it's a great question. I'll try to create a video that explains them as well

Don't you have an A to Z class on Tableau....even if it's a paid course....?
Thank you Ghadebo. I am planning to create some mini courses :)
It is a confusing topic though may look simple and boring!
