Pages, Filters, and Marks Overview
As we continue exploring Tableau, it's time to delve into three essential components of the interface: Pages, Filters, and Marks. These features are vital for refining your visualizations and tailoring the way your data is displayed and analyzed.
Now that you've seen these features in action, let's break them down further.
Pages
The Pages shelf allows you to dynamically change or animate your visualizations based on a selected field. This is especially useful for observing data trends over time or comparing categories in sequence.
Filters
Filters let you narrow down the data displayed in your visualizations according to specific conditions. By focusing on relevant subsets, filters help you clean up visual clutter and highlight the most important information.
Marks
Marks are the individual elements in a visualization that represent your data. Using the Marks card, you can customize these elements by adjusting their size, color, shape, and labels to create more impactful and understandable visualizations.
Using these interface features, you can enhance your visualizations by controlling how data is displayed, focusing on key insights, and dynamically exploring different dimensions of your data.
