Sometimes when we perform calculations in Tableau we get errors such as "Expected Type Float, Found String". These errors are related to data type. Personally, I wish they would instead write "Please Change the STRING DATA TYPE to a NUMBER DATA TYPE for Calculations".

These errors can be particularly frustrating for beginners because the error descriptions are usually very cryptic. The other sad part about this is that most other softwares have the same issues. Its usually really smart designs trying to speak human haha!
In this video, I'm going to recreate the issues and go through in detail data types and how these errors come into play. Then I'll show you ways around this step by step.
