Explain the DATE Function ' MAKEDATE' in Tableau with Example?

In Tableau, there is a function called MAKEDATE that allows you to create a new date value by specifying the year, month, and day components.

The syntax of the MAKEDATE function in Tableau is as follows:

MAKEDATE(year, month, day)

• year specifies the year component of the date value.
• month specifies the month component of the date value.
• day specifies the day component of the date value.

Here's an example to illustrate the usage of the MAKEDATE function in Tableau:

MAKEDATE(2023, 6, 23)

In this example, the MAKEDATE function is used to create a new date value representing June 23, 2023.

The resulting output will be a date value that can be used in calculations, visualizations, or other date-related operations in Tableau.

The MAKEDATE function is particularly useful when you need to create custom date values for analysis or visualization purposes. It allows you to specify the desired year, month, and day to form a new date value.
