You can find sum of two fields using calculated field, but both the number format should be same to provide correct answer,
For example,
- sum = [Sales] + [Profit]
- sum = SUM([Sales]+[Profit])
- This follows for both numbers, decimal numbers, %'s.
Hope this helps you.
Further, enroll for an online training course to clear the Tableau Desktop Specialist Certification exam. I would recommend this Tableau Course online by Intellipaat.
