Hierarchy in Tableau

In this article, we will learn how to create a hierarchy in tableau worksheet to do further operations. For this first look into two terms:

• Tableau: Tableau is a very powerful data visualization tool that can be used by data analysts, scientists, statisticians, etc. to visualize the data and get a clear opinion based on the data analysis. Tableau is very famous as it can take in data and produce the required data visualization output in a very short time.
• Hierarchy: Hierarchy is tree-like structure that represents the level-wise configuration. In Tableau, the data with relation can be used to form a hierarchy. Similar and related data are grouped in the form of a hierarchical structure to do further operations.

Dataset used in the given examples is Dataset.
