The Tableau Slang Glossary

by Fergus Smith

A-Z

BANs - Big Ass Numbers, perhaps an acronym but a must in any dashboard delivering important figures
Calcs - perhaps more of an abbreviation but whenever you see this equals sign, you bet it'll be a Calculated Field
Carrot / Jeremy - this little downward facing triangle is always useful and presents many other options when selected
Moustachio - widely known as a curly bracket by most but an essential part of creating an LOD within Tableau
Pills - they can be green (continuous), blue (discrete) or red (broken). They refer to the active fields which have been dragged onto the view
