LISTAGG is a powerful SQL command to denormalize rows data.
But, what if you don’t have access to SQL or just need a quick way to accomplish this?
I was recently faced with a challenge when working for a client. We needed a simple way to provide row-level permissions to hundreds of Tableau Server users for 4 million+ rows of data. The data took place over 300+ sites. Some sites might only have a handful of users that needed access to view while others might have 40.
Tableau is a great data visualization tool that has some data manipulation capabilities. To get the most out of Tableau, it's helpful to have some SQL skills to prepare data. Join us for the 30-minute recording of our recent webinar below to learn how SQL can improve your Tableau experience!
When teaching, I often get asked some variation of the question, “How many rows of data can Tableau handle?”. It’s a well-intended question but it’s incomplete. Tableau technically doesn’t have a row count limitation, but row count is one of the factors that can impact performance.
