Using the atheletes table:
i) Create a sheet with a crosstab showing the Average weight for each sport (Sheet 1) ii) Create a sheet with a Map showing the Total number of gold medals per Country. Use size as a Mark.
(Sheet 2)
Now, Create a Dashboard containing both these sheets, and Use Sheet 2 as a Filter for Sheet 1. What was the average weight for Badminton in Russia?
(Ignore any nulls / unknowns)

• A.76.25
• B.65.67
• C.68.77
• D.4.87

2) Now, for sheet 2 - Drag nationality to the view, and gold to the size mark in the Marks shelf.
NOTE: Depending on your version of Tableau , you may need to assign a Geographical role to the nationality column first as follows:


3) Now, let's create a dashboard, and use both these sheets in it:

4) Now, for the most Important step, use SHEET 2 AS A FILTER FOR SHEET 1 as follows:

Now simply click on Russia in Sheet 2, and Sheet 1 will automatically update as follows:
