So you are making the jump from Excel to Tableau? Great!
You've probably noticed some of the functions you love so much in Excel don't exist in exactly the same format in Tableau. Take SUMIF and COUNTIF as an example. Tableau has an IF function, a SUM function and a COUNT function, but not SUMIF or COUNTIF.
Not to worry though! All the functionality of those Excel functions can be replicated in Tableau if you know how to work the system! :)
Check out this video to learn how you can use the IF, SUM and COUNT functions to accomplish SUMIF and COUNTIF things in Tableau!
You can download the Tableau Public Workbook here.
