Calculate the AREA of your polygons in Tableau and then create charts to compare the sizes.
Using the AREA function in calculations enables you to build charts based on the total surface area of the polygons in your spatial files. This opens up new analytical opportunities and different ways to view and analyse your spatial data. I walk through a few examples with three different spatial sources.
