A Tableau user needs to create a custom field that categorizes data points as either inside or outside a specific selection, such as the top 5 customers by sales. Which feature should be used to create this dynamic 'in'/'out' segmentation?
The correct answer is a Set. Sets in Tableau are custom fields used to define a subset of data based on specific conditions, such as the top 5 customers by sales. The key feature of a set is its ability to classify data as 'in' or 'out' of the set, which allows for comparison and analysis without removing data from the view.
Group: This is incorrect. Groups are used to combine multiple dimension members into a single, higher-level category (e.g., combining 'Apples' and 'Oranges' into a 'Fruit' group). Groups are static and do not have the 'in'/'out' functionality.
Hierarchy: This is incorrect. Hierarchies are used to create drill-down paths within the data (e.g., Country > State > City), allowing users to explore different levels of detail.
Filter: This is incorrect. While filters do subset data, they typically remove data from the view. A set, however, can show both the 'in' and 'out' members simultaneously for comparative analysis.
