Creating Joins
Tableau now supports relational joins without having to create a view table.
Follow the instructions below to get started joining tables.
Note: When you select a table to add, you can optionally modify the Table and Field Aliases in the Add Table dialog
box. Additionally, you can choose to exclude felds from the schema using the check boxes next to each feld alias.
The selected felds will be shown in the schema.
