Analysis and Parameters are two significant and easy ways to enhance your work. Analysis tools add new insights, such as Trend Line, Forecast, or Cluster, that are just one drag and drop away. With Parameters, you'll discover a new way of bringing interactivity to your visualization with user inputs.

In this chapter, we'll go through the following different sections:

• Using built-in Analytics tools
• How to work with Parameters
• Creating a year-on-year comparison

If you went through all the chapters prior to this one, you know what Data Source we'll use! If this is the first chapter you are reading, all the examples and guided tutorial can be reproduced with the Sample-Superstore Data Source, which you can find on the first page when opening Tableau.
