- **[Add a Calculated Field to Your Data](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.tua_viz_calculated_field.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Sometimes, analyzing your data source requires adding a calculated field based on your existing fields. For example, you want to review the cost for each product that you sell. ‌You can either create a calculated field manually, or you can use Semantics AI and let Einstein draft one for you.
- **[Use Parameters to Explore Data Dynamically in Tableau Next](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.tua_create_parameters_how_to.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Define parameters in Tableau Next to explore what-if scenarios in dashboards and see how different inputs affect your business. Create a parameter on any field type and use it with a calculated field, filter, or reference line to update the visualization interactively. Use a parameter list to switch between fields or field values, such as countries, to compare each value’s impact separately. You can also create parameters for values outside the dataset, such as discount percentages, to see how they affect results.
- **[Navigate Levels of Detail Efficiently with Dimension Hierarchies](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.tua_create_dimensionhierarchies_how_to.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Define dimension hierarchies in Tableau Next to move between high-level summaries and detailed breakdowns in your analysis. Create hierarchies using related dimensions or date fields, and use them in visualizations or tables to roll up or drill down data.
- **[Group Dimension Members to Simplify Analysis](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.tua_viz_create_groups_how_to.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Group related dimension values into meaningful categories to simplify comparisons and highlight patterns in your Tableau Next data. Create groups to compare performance across segments without changing the underlying data.
- **[Create Bins from Measure Values](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.tua_viz_create_bins_how_to.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Group continuous measure values into ranges, called bins, to simplify analysis and reveal patterns in your Tableau Next data. Create bins to segment values into intervals without changing the underlying data.
- **[Show or Hide Missing Values in a Visualization](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.tua_viz_show_hide_missing_values.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Identify gaps in your Tableau Next visualization by displaying dates or bins with no corresponding values. Or hide them for a cleaner view when the gaps aren’t relevant to your analysis.
