Or the one who is casually glancing for the best platform which is providing information on how to install tableau software for beginners? Then you\u2019ve landed on the Right Platform which is packed with tons of tutorials of installation of tableau. Follow the below mentioned Tableau Installation tutorial for Beginners which were originally designed by the world-class Trainers of <a title=\"https:\/\/prwatech.in\/tableau-training-institutes-in-bangalore\/\" href=\"https:\/\/prwatech.in\/tableau-training-institutes-in-bangalore\/\">tableau training institute in Bangalore<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Parameters are like containers which stores values like numbers, dates or even strings and can replace them with ease in calculations, filters and visualizations in Tableau. It makes the calculations or visualizations very dynamic with fast replacements as per the requirements. Parameters help to transfer the control of the visualizations from authors to the end users.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s explore the parameters in Tableau. Here, we have used Sample EU Superstore data which is provided by Tableau by default.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s make a parameter where we would be able to change the Dimensions variable and get to see the visualizations respectively without having to run the entire process from the beginning.<\/p>\n<h5>Click on the little arrow beside Dimensions sections and click on <strong>Create Parameter<\/strong> from the drop down menu as shown by the arrows in the diagram below.<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5259\" src=\"https:\/\/prwatech.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Step-by-step-implementation-1-8-1024x430.jpg\" alt=\"Parameters Step by step implementation 1\" width=\"840\" height=\"653\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now put a name of the Parameter. Here, we have named it as \u2018Dim\u2019. Change the Data type to \u2018String\u2019 as we are going to pass only string values in our parameter. From Allowable values option, select List. Then put the variables\u2019 names as per requirement. Here, we have selected Category, Sub Category and Region. Click on OK. The arrows in the diagram below demonstrate the step.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5260\" src=\"https:\/\/prwatech.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Step-by-step-implementation-2-9-1024x403.jpg\" alt=\"Parameters Step by step implementation 2\" width=\"840\" height=\"631\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Parameter \u2018Dim\u2019 gets created under the Parameters section as shown in the diagram below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5261\" src=\"https:\/\/prwatech.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Step-by-step-implementation-3-8-1024x365.jpg\" alt=\"Parameters Step by step implementation 3\" width=\"840\" height=\"599\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now we need a make a Calculated Field in order to make the analyses and visualisations. We have already taught how to make Calculated Field. Refer to the topic once again. We would again quickly teach how we are making the Calculated Field. Click on the little arrow beside Dimensions section and click on Create Calculated Field.<\/p>\n<p>Again, give a name of the Calculated Field. Here, we have used the name as Dynamic Dim. Then write the code as shown below in the diagram and click on Apply and then OK.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5262\" src=\"https:\/\/prwatech.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Step-by-step-implementation-4-9.jpg\" alt=\"Parameters Step by step implementation 4\" width=\"983\" height=\"688\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>The Calculated Field gets created under Dimensions section as shown below in the diagram.<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5264\" src=\"https:\/\/prwatech.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Step-by-step-implementation-5-8-1024x466.jpg\" alt=\"Parameters Step by step implementation 5\" width=\"840\" height=\"682\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now drag Calculated Field Dynamic Dim from Dimensions section to Columns shelf and Sales from Measures section to Rows shelf and click on the bars from Show Me section. The arrows in the diagram below show the process.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5265\" src=\"https:\/\/prwatech.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Step-by-step-implementation-6-7-1024x460.jpg\" alt=\"Parameters Step by step implementation 6\" width=\"840\" height=\"677\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now in order to make the dynamic changes in the visualisation with regard to the changing Dimension values, do the following steps.<\/p>\n<p>Right click on the parameter Dim and click on Show Parameter Control from the drop down menu. The diagram below demonstrates the step.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5266\" src=\"https:\/\/prwatech.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Step-by-step-implementation-7-8-1024x417.jpg\" alt=\"Parameters Step by step implementation 7\" width=\"840\" height=\"642\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By doing so, the menu is add to the right side of the window where one can change the Dimensions variable as per the requirement and also the visualizations respectively. The diagram below shows the step.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5267\" src=\"https:\/\/prwatech.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Step-by-step-implementation-8-5-1024x412.jpg\" alt=\"Parameters Step by step implementation 8\" width=\"840\" height=\"638\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The diagram shows the graph created against Category and Sales.<\/p>\n<p>Now we can also change it to any other variable VS Sales just by changing the variable from the Dim menu on the top right.
