Tableau is extremely famous because it can absorb data and produce the specified data visualization output during a very short time.
• Set: Tableau Sets are custom fields wont to hold the subset of knowledge supported by a given condition. In real-time, you'll create a group by selecting members from the list or a visualization. You can also do the same by writing custom Conditions or Selecting Top/Bottom few records in a Measure.
