In my experience, utilizing filters strategically can greatly improve performance. By applying filters at the data source level or using context filters, Tableau only processes and displays the necessary data, reducing the workload and enhancing performance.

One technique that has worked well for me is leveraging Tableau's data blending feature for large datasets. By blending data instead of joining, I have been able to maintain good performance even when dealing with complex relationships between tables.

I have found that using extracts instead of live connections to databases can significantly enhance performance. Extracts are pre-aggregated subsets of data that are stored locally, allowing for faster access and analysis.

One strategy that has worked well for me is to reduce the number of calculated fields used in a worksheet. By minimizing the number of calculations, Tableau can process the data faster and improve performance.
