I recently stumbled upon a question on Reddit asked by someone who was just starting on their journey to learn Tableau. They were curious how SQL and Tableau interacted in a real-world work environment.

As part of my job, I commonly build dashboards to address a myriad of business questions, using SQL to extract relevant data and Tableau to present it in a format that stakeholders can digest.

In addition to some of the sparse updates I throw onto here, I thought I could start documenting some helpful tidbits in response to some challenges I face either at work or in my personal time.
