Learn Tableau by Working on Exciting Dashboards - Exclude - LOD

This tutorial explains the concept of exclude level of detail (LOD) expressions in Tableau. It demonstrates how to set up a view with categories and filters, create an exclude calculated field, and verify the results.

The exclude LOD expression aggregates data at a higher level than the view's detail, excluding specified dimensions.
