Using Context Filters and Improving Dashboard Performance - Tableau in Two Minutes

Tableau context filters allow you to cut down the amount of data that flows into your viz, which can help improve performance. We demonstrate this using a top 5 filter - usually the top 5 filter is calculated on all the data, which means a filter moves items in and out of the set and can result in your top 5 having fewer than 5 items. When a context filter is applied, only the data that passes the filter is used to calculate the top 5, so you always have the correct number of items in your filter, and it's calculated on less data, which means a faster query.

For those who are confused, practise on your Tableau and you will get it. First, if you do a filter by top 5 + showing only furniture category, you will only see 'chairs' and 'tables'. This only shows the top 5 results from the initial chart. Apply context filter, and you will see 'chairs', 'tables', 'bookcases' and 'furnishings'. This will be especially useful if you have huge amounts of data

I used the Sample Superstore data set provided here, and I get different numbers in the very first step and throughout the video. Everything works the same in the program, it's just that the data numbers chart in the 100K range, where yours chart in the 10K range. Did I miss a step, or is there something else I need to click on? The video is great for beginners.
