Tableau – Filter Measures

Filter Measures means to filter by numerical values, like sales, profits, or quantities. These filters are applied only to the measure fields.

Let us create a new sheet and give it a name, Filter Measure in the same Amit_Tableau_Filters.twb Tableau Workbook.

Drag the Sub-Category to the Rows shelf, and the Profit to the Columns shelf:

The above is the Sum of Profit in the column. To change it to Average, click on it. Go to Measure(Sum), and click Average to get the average Profit:

2. Set Average Measure in Tableau

Now, AVG(Profit) is visible in place of SUM(Profit) below.

Keep the mouse cursor to get the exact average profit of any of the sub-categories as shown below:

After that, a Filter Field dialog box will open. Select Average and click Next:

4. Drag the field to the Filters pane and select Average in Tableau

Choose At least and give a value to filter the rows. We have given 15 and clicked OK:

5. Set At Least for the filter in Tableau

Now, only the sub-categories with average profit above 15 are visible. Verify the exact value by keeping the mouse cursor:
