Despite having access to vast amounts of data, organizations often struggle to translate it
into actionable insights and measurable outcomes. Tableau Semantics goals address issues such
as fragmented goal management, lack of visibility, and inconsistent measurement. Users can set
multiple goals per submetric, define specific goal values, and set status conditions. They can
specify a target value or range for the submetric, set a time range with start and end dates,
and select colors to indicate the goal status.
Example A retail company can improve sales performance by setting and tracking specific sales
goals within Tableau. Sales teams can define these goals, set target values and status
conditions, and specify time ranges. For example, the company aims to reach $200 million in
sales in the US during the first three months of the year. In June, they target an average
order value of $40. Real-time monitoring and regular measurement make sure that goals are
tracked correctly. This helps to improve sales strategies and resource allocation.
Create a Goal Help business users monitor their metrics against specific targets by creating one or more goals in Tableau Semantics. Adding goals is an optional final step when creating or editing a submetric.
