Mastering Tableau: The Power of Context Filters
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лип 2024
- A context filter in Tableau is a powerful feature that allows you to isolate a specific subset of data and create a temporary data subset
When you apply a context filter to your visualization, Tableau first applies the context filter and then performs calculations and aggregations based on the filtered subset of data.
By creating a context, you can optimize the performance of your visualizations by reducing the amount of data being processed.
When a context filter is applied, Tableau performs the following steps:
1. Identifies the data that meets the context filter criteria.
2. Performs calculations and aggregations based on the filtered data.
3. Evaluates any other filters and calculations based on the context data subset.
A context filter allows you to control the order in which Tableau applies filters and calculations.
In this video, I'll explain:
1. The difference between regular filters and context filters
2. How context filters can significantly improve Tableau performance
I'll finish up by showing you a couple of the most common use cases for Context filters to drive the concept home.

You seriously make the most comprehensive and clearly structured videos regarding Tableau on UA-cam - thank you very much!
Wow, thank you!
Thanks for the great reminder. Your second example was exactly what I needed for a project I am working. Great video and I am enjoying your weekly newsletter.
Thanks for the support!
This is why I come to your channel, Andy, well done and thanks!
Glad to help
Very clear explications. Recently had an interview and didn't know this about context.
Now you do! 👍🏻
Thank you so much. I literally work in Tableau all day for my job. And always learn something new can apply immediately from you. This is so helpful!
Great to hear!
Thank you for the video. Very helpful to understand In Context, but how would I display the top 5 States in each Region at the same time. You show 5 for each Region, one Region at a time.
Super useful👍
Glad you think so!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video! What if we are using a top n filter and want to use more than one filter? I’m currently working on a dashboard that uses a top n and have four filters I want to use. Thank you!
Then all four of the other filters should be in context. Those will filter first, and then the top N.
Obrigado!
Hey Andy amazing video. Could please make video on full tableau using real world dataset.

There’s no need to use “real data” to understand the concepts.
How to deal with when u are using charts as filters in a dashboard and filter across so many other dashboard elements .? Is there a priority of order for context filters if there are many like 5filters added to context?
They run simultaneously
@@vizwizi have a dashboard where all the charts are clickable as they have been added to action filters but i want these action filters to have priority in filtering on the sheet. For example if state map sheet filter is added as action in other charts, all other charts should filter selected state on priority. For this i added them to context in affecting sheet because it has some fixed LOD calculations. But when I click on the sheet which causes action( example state sheet in my case), it is not filtering. Can i get help with this possible reason?
what if we convert a normal filter as data source level filter?
Right click on the data source and choose Edit datasource filters
