In Tableau, what is the purpose of the ‘Compute Using’ setting on a Table Calculation?

Accepted Answer

The 'Compute Using' setting controls how table calculations are processed. It defines the direction and scope of calculations, determining whether to partition or address values. This setting is crucial for accurate calculations. Incorrect options, such as specifying data sources or aggregation types, are unrelated to the 'Compute Using' function.
