Tableau provides a flexible method for visualizing dates so you can easily display chronological values and compare time periods. However, with that flexibility comes a lot of options which can feel overwhelming and complex. For instance, why are there two different ways to visualize months and what's the difference? What does that mean if a date pill is green versus blue? Check out this video to learn the fundamentals of Date Values and Date Parts. You will better understand how Tableau thinks about dates and how you can coax Tableau into doing what you want.
