Splitting Data Columns
If you have string fields in your data that contain multiple units of information, it might be easier to analyze the
data if you split the values in that field into separate fields.
For example, the first and last name of a customer
You can use split or custom split options in Tableau to separate the values based on a separator or a repeated
pattern of values present in each row of the field.
Just right-click on the dimension you want to split, navigate to the new Transform menu and click Split.
Tableau will automatically try to figure out the delimiter and split the data accordingly, but you can also choose
Custom Split and specify the delimiter yourself if you like.

Top Tip Which is Lightening Fast
In current versions of Tableau, a tooltip only stays alive for 8 seconds and then it disappears.
Now in Tableau v9, tooltips stick around for as long as you leave your mouse in place.
Furthermore, tooltips are now super responsive, populating with new data for whichever mark youre hovering
over in real-time. You can disable it as well using tooltip window
