# Use a Table Calculation in a Tableau Data Story

**Important changes for Tableau Data Stories**

Tableau Data Stories were retired in Tableau Desktop, Tableau Cloud and Tableau Server in January of 2025 (2025.1). With advances in natural language technologies, we're developing an improved interface that will make it easier to ask questions of your data and stay on top of changes. For more information, see [How Tableau Pulse powered by Tableau AI is Reimagining the Data Experience](https://www.tableau.com/en-gb/blog/tableau-pulse-and-tableau-ai).

You can use a Table Calculation as a measure in a Tableau Data Story in addition to the measure that you used to create the table calculation.

1. From the Marks card, click on the right side of your field to open a menu, and click Quick Table Calculation.

1. After you create your table calculation, drag it to Measures in the Data pane and rename it.

1. Drag your original measure (e.g. Sales) back to the Rows shelf, and then drag your new calculation (e.g. Sum of Sales) into the Tooltip. Your visualisation may remain the same, but you now have access to the new measure.

1. Go to your dashboard and drag the Data Story object onto the dashboard. Both measures appear when creating your story.
