Summary  
This chapter covers organizing and classifying data fields as qualitative or quantitative (dimensions, measures, parameters, and sets) and demonstrates how to bind these fields to axes to construct interactive charts.

General domain of usage  
Data visualization

Before diving into creating visualizations, it's essential to get comfortable with **Tableau's interface**. In this chapter, we'll focus on the **Data Pane**, one of Tableau's key components. Understanding its elements and functionality will help you organize and work with your data effectively.  

The video below explores the layout of Tableau's interface and examines each element in detail.

Speaking of the **Data Pane**, it contains the following categories of fields, which we'll discuss in detail later in the course:  

Which category of fields is used for calculations such as sums or averages?

This corse provides a comprehensive introduction to Tableau's core features, empowering learners to create impactful data visualizations and dashboards. We will cover essential topics such as working with charts, filters, calculated fields, and parameters, as well as advanced techniques like combining data and creating interactive dashboards. By the end, you will have the skills to transform raw data into actionable insights with ease and confidence.

This section lays the groundwork for mastering Tableau by guiding you through installation, navigation, and foundational operations. From performing joins and splitting columns to understanding filters, marks, and the data pane, you will be equipped with essential tools for data exploration and visualization. 

This section delves into Tableau's powerful tools for data organization, filtering, and customization. You'll learn to differentiate dimensions and measures, work with continuous and discrete fields, and create calculated fields and interactive dashboards. Through practical challenges, you'll apply these tools to analyze data, uncover insights, and enhance your visualizations.

This section focuses on creating impactful visualizations to uncover patterns and trends in your data. From heatmaps and scatter plots to treemaps and combination charts, you'll explore a variety of chart types tailored to different analytical needs.

This section introduces advanced visualization techniques to enhance data analysis and storytelling. You'll learn to create bullet graphs, stacked area charts, histograms, and box plots, enabling deeper insights into trends, distributions, and comparisons.
