The division operator ("/") is a mathematical operator in Tableau that performs division between two numbers. It divides the value on the left-hand side of the operator by the value on the right-hand side.
Here's an example to illustrate the usage of the division operator in Tableau:
Suppose you have a dataset with columns "Revenue" and "Quantity" representing sales revenue and the quantity sold.
| Revenue | Quantity |
|---|---|
| 1500 | 10 |
| 2500 | 5 |
| 1800 | 12 |
| 3000 | 8 |
To calculate the average revenue per quantity using the division operator in Tableau, you can create a calculated field:
- Right-click on a blank area in the "Data" pane in Tableau.
- Select "Create Calculated Field."
- In the formula editor, enter the following expression:
[Revenue] / [Quantity]
- Click "OK" to create the calculated field.
The calculated field, which utilizes the division operator ("/"), will calculate the average revenue per quantity for each row in the dataset.
The resulting dataset will be as follows:
| Revenue | Quantity | Average Revenue per Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| 1500 | 10 | 150.0 |
| 2500 | 5 | 500.0 |
| 1800 | 12 | 150.0 |
| 3000 | 8 | 375.0 |
In this example, the division operator ("/") is used to calculate the average revenue per quantity by dividing the revenue value by the quantity value for each row.
The division operator in Tableau, along with other mathematical operators, allows you to perform calculations involving division, such as calculating averages, ratios, or proportions.
