Managing Reference DataWhat is Managing Reference Data?
Reference data is data used to classify or categorize other data. Typically, it is static or data that slowly changes over time. While in most cases, dimensions are used to store this information automatically, there are occasions when you want more agility on your analysis and need extra information that is not available through automatic procedures.
Challenges
On Tableau, you don’t have a specific mechanism for this, so you typically have to rely on a third party, which takes you out of the analysis flow or simply makes the process unmanageable.
