Question

Can we use unused columns (Columns that are not used in reports but data source has columns) in Tableau Filters?

Answer 1

Yes, we can use unused columns in tableau filters.

Let us consider one example.

In data source, I have column like emp_id, emp_name, emp_sal, emp_dep, emp_designation. But, in reports, I am using emp_name in columns and emp-sal in rows. I can use emp_designation on filters.
