This blog series has almost come to an end. From part 1 of this blog series I have tried to demystify the binding syntax and come with different examples of how to use data selection and data serialization, and I hope bindings have become a little more approachable than before. But there is another layer ...
When we build dashboards and show the dashboard to end users they have an expectation to see data in a table view. Maybe not in the beginning, but for the most part they do want to be able to see the details. In Einstein Analytics we do this by adding a values table. But how ...

Now, to be honest, most bindings you will write, at least in the beginning, will be using the data serialization functions .asString() and .asObject(), as they cover the most common use cases and is all you need ...
Creating dashboards in Einstein Analytics is easy and it becomes yet easier with every release. But sometimes you want your users to have even more dynamic controls in the dashboards and this is when you start introducing more advanced functionality like bindings.
