A client notices that while creating calculated fields, occasionally the new fields are created as...

In Tableau, the performance of calculated fields can vary based on the data type used. Calculations involving integers and Booleans are generally faster than those involving strings. This is because numerical operations are typically more efficient for a computer to process than string operations, which can be more complex and time-consuming. Therefore, when performance is a consideration, it is advisable to use integers or Booleans over strings whenever possible.
