Tableau Tip #3 – Data Pane Field Search Filters

This one is from the “It was right under my nose all along!” file.

Did you know you can filter to view only certain kinds of fields in the Data Pane of #Tableau? Here are the special searches you can run.

·          D: Dimensions

·          M: Measures

·          C: Calculations

·          F: Fields with Comments

You can click on the funnel at the end of the Search box to get a drop-down of these commands.

Then you can type in the special filter code like I did below to find all dimensions that begin with “ship.”

Or you can type in the special filter code to find all the calculations that begin with “profit.”

This one comes from Donabel Santos. I highly encourage you to follow her on LinkedIn and X. I have included the link to her web site below.
