Testing scenarios has been the number one goal since day one of computing. One great example of this is Deep blue, the first computer to win a chess game vs the world champion while running all possible scenarios as fast as possible. Fast forward to today, and computers are still used to run scenarios of ...

With a table, you’re confined within cells that have limited options for display and styling. The limitations apply to any basic tables, including those in Tableau CRM. That’s why ...
