LOD in tableau and it’s types

Question

Accepted Answer

LOD in Tableau stands for Level of Detail and refers to the ability to control the level of aggregation in visualizations.

LOD expressions allow you to compute values at different levels of detail in Tableau.
There are three types of LOD expressions: INCLUDE, EXCLUDE, and FIXED.
INCLUDE LOD expressions compute values at the specified level of detail and then aggregate them up to the view level.
EXCLUDE LOD expressions exclude the specified dimension from the view level of detail.
FIXED LOD expressions compute values using the specified dimensions without reference to the view level of detail.
Example: {FIXED [Category] : SUM([Sales])} will compute the total sales for each category regardless of other dimensions in the view.
