Summary

We began this chapter with a discussion of data densification and discovered that there are two types of data densification: domain completion and domain padding. When reviewing these two types of data densification, we learned how each can be deployed, when each is useful, and when each can be problematic. Next, we explored big data with a walk-through of an example of how to use Tableau to connect to Google BigQuery.

In the next chapter, we will explore another functionality: level of detail calculations. Although table calculations remain an important part of everyday Tableau usage, we will discover how level of detail calculations can easily accomplish tasks that were previously only possible through complex table calculations.
