Chapter 11, Analytics and Parameters, focuses on two significant aspects of Tableau that combine well. The first part, Analytics, describes how to add Reference Lines, Forecast, Clusters, Trend Lines, Totals, and more.

Finally, you'll create a real-life business usage combining analytics features, parameters, and calculations.

This chapter will help you tackle data connection challenges.
