Numerical filters in Tableau

Here are five common numerical filters you can use:

1. Range Filter: This allows you to filter data within a specified range. For example, you can filter sales data to show only those transactions where the sales amount falls between $100 and $500.
2. Top N Filter: This filter allows you to display the top or bottom N items based on a numerical measure. For instance, you can show the top 10 products by sales revenue.
3. Relative Date Filter: While not strictly numerical, it operates on date values. This filter lets you filter data based on relative dates such as “last 30 days” or “last quarter”.
4. Reference Line: Again, not a traditional filter, but it allows you to add a line representing a specific numerical value on your visualization. This can help in comparing data against a reference point.
5. Parameter Filter: Parameters in Tableau can be used to create dynamic filters based on numerical input from the user. For example, you can create a parameter to filter data based on a user-defined threshold for profit margin.
