#Tableau - Attribute Aggregation

Aggregations can be difficult to understand. I find the ATTR (attribute) aggregation the hardest to get my head around in Tableau.

In this video, I teach you:
1. What an attribute is
2. Why the attribute aggregation exists
3. Examples that show how it works
4. The difference between ATTR and other aggregations like MIN & MAX
5. How Tableau write the ATTR aggregation as a formula
6. How to ensure you're not misleading your audience
7. How to work around the pesky *

We need more and more these simple but important videos to rectify our mistakes. Thank you Andy for sharing this. Respect you 🙏🙏

Finally there is one youtuber explains ATTR in brief and clear way, thank you!

Thank you very much Andy! You make it is so easy to understand and communicate what the ATTR is.

Nicely explained @Andy Kriebel ! I too practiced ATTR in last 2 weeks and was able to understand where and how to use it.
Your video helped to get my concepts cleared, THANKS!!!

It will be good if you put some video on handling cannot compare aggregate and non aggregate functions tableau and similar types of issues.
Not sure if you already explained it in any video, I am yet to complete your entire play list :)

Wow that was one of the best tableau vids I have seen. The examples are easy to follow and you explained it in such a way a beginner like myself could understand. Thanks!

Thanks for publishing this (and so much other content!) Andy. With Tableau, I find a lot of people (experts) skip over explaining the nuts-and-bolt essentials, but those are the bits on which *everyone's* understanding is ultimately built.

thanks Andy, that ATTR thing has been confused me for a long time.

[vivekparashar]

Thanks Andy, one question - When we use exclude LOD, why does Tableau uses the ATTR function?

Sir i have created a calculated field it is working when I am filtering one dimensional value but when I am filtering two or more it is showing star.. How would I be able to break the star so that i can show the sum of those two dimensional value..
