3. Basic Quick Solution for Data Quality

Problems
There are several different ways to correct data Quality problems within
Tableau that don’t involve changing the source data.

a. Renaming
Renaming fields in Tableau are finished by right-tapping on the field and
renaming it. Field part names can be associated. These progressions don’t
change the source database. Scene “recalls” what you renamed without
modifying the source information.

b. Grouping
How about we expect that an organization name has been entered as these:
A&M, An and M, An and M, A+M. With Tableau, you can Ctrl-Select every one
of these names and aggregate them—and afterward make a name assumed
name for the specially appointed gathering. Along these lines, all the
renditions of the name show up as one record in Tableau—A&M. This
gathering what’s more, name false name will be spared as a major aspect of
Tableau’s metadata.

c. Aliases
At times the name of something in the database isn’t a helpful term for
detailing purposes. For instance, everyone on the group enters the client type
as P1, P2, G1, G2 where P2 indicates the extent of the client in yearly income.
For instance, “Platinum level 2” could imply that the client has a yearly
income of $1m to $5m. In Tableau, you can right-tap on P2 and nom de plume
it with a more significant depiction.

d. Geographic Errors
Despite the fact that Tableau has worked in mapping that works extremely
well, there will be events when geographic areas are not perceived. A scene
will caution you by putting a little dark pill in the lower right region of your
guide. Clicking on that pill gives the capacity to alter the culpable areas or
channel them out of view. This is likewise available from Tableau’s guide
menu.
e. Null Values
When you see the word invalid show up in a view that implies Tableau can’t
coordinate the record. You can sift through nulls, bunch them with non-
invalid individuals from the set, or right the join that is causing the invalid.
There are numerous reasons why an invalid esteem could come about. In the
event that you aren’t sure how to amend the invalid, look for help from a
qualified specialized asset.

f. Correcting Your Data Source

In spite of the fact that it’s fast and simple to address information quality
issues specifically in Tableau, it’s critical to hold up under as a top priority that
the progressions you have made in Tableau will just advantage those utilizing
a similar Tableau document. There is not a viable replacement for remedying
the basic information in the data source. Report blunders to the dependable
staff rapidly and give them your Tableau report. Uncover the points of
interest to rectify the database.
