Tableau Desktop Specialist TDS-C01 Question # 5 Topic 1 Discussion

Yes! We get different options for filtering depending on whether we use a categorical data (think dimension) or quantitative data (think measure).

Important Note: Each tab adds additional definitions to your filter. For example, you can select to exclude values under the General tab, and also add limits under the Top tab. Selections and configurations from both tabs are applied to your filter.At any time, you can see the definitions of your filter under Summary on the General tab.

Note: If you have a large data source, filtering measures can lead to a significant degradation in performance. It is sometimes much more efficient to filter by creating a set containing the measure and then apply a filter to the set. For more information about creating sets, see Create Sets
