Question

State some ways to improve the performance of Tableau.

Answer 1

Following are the few ways to improve the performance

• Use an Extract to make workbooks run faster
• Reduce the scope of data to decrease the volume of data
• Reduce the number of marks on the view to avoid information overload
• Try to use integers or Booleans in calculations as they are much faster than strings
• Hide unused fields
• Use Context filters
• Reduce filter usage and use some alternative way to achieve the same result
• Use indexing in tables and use the same fields for filtering
• Remove unnecessary calculations and sheets
