#TableauTipTuesday: How to Use Level of Detail Expressions to Find the Bounding Rectangle of a Line

No comments
In this tip, I show you how to use level of detail expressions to find the boundaries of a line and turn it into a square by finding the ratio of each point on the line to the width and the height.

Note: A couple of the calculations were backwards in the video, so download the workbook to ensure you have them correct.

In this week's tip, I show you how to use the makepoint and makeline functions that became available in Tableau 2019.2 to create routes. I show two examples: airline routes, and bus routes. The bus routes also shows you how to use a calculated join to bring one row up to the previous row.
