#TinyTableauTip = LOD's👇
1️⃣ In 2025.3 you no longer need to add the closing } manually.
Type FIXED / INCLUDE / EXCLUDE → Tableau adds it automatically 🙌
2️⃣ Quick FIXED LOD:
Hold CTRL, drag a Measure onto a Dimension → Tableau creates the FIXED LOD for you.

Final #TinyTableauTip before the holidays 🎄
This one’s about undocumented Tableau functions:

🏆 GREATEST()
🔎 LIKE()
They’re not in the docs — but they do work, and can make your calcs cleaner and smarter.
