How to pivot and transform data in Tableau?

[board-infinity]

Tableau, pivoting means transposing data from a crosstab format into a columnar format–from wide, short tables into thin, tall tables. Tableau Prep Builder makes pivoting visual, allowing you to see how your data changes with every step.

A transformation refers to the manipulation of data. You can add transformations to a dataflow to extract data from Salesforce objects or datasets, transform datasets that contain Salesforce or external data, and register datasets.
