Data Blending in Tableau

What is Data Blending? A Bird's-Eye View

– Combines data from multiple sources into a single visualization. – Enables analysis of data with different levels of detail (granularity).

Blending vs Joining: Separating Fact from Fiction

– Blending aggregates data first, then combines it. – Joining combines data at the row level, then aggregates it.
