When creating a date filter in Tableau, anchor refers to the date in a relative-date filter to which you anchor a unit of time. A relative-date filter is a type of filter that allows you to dynamically filter data based on a range of time relative to the current date or a specific date. For example, you can use a relative-date filter to show data for the last 7 days, the next 3 months, or the current quarter1 To create a relative-date filter, you need to specify the following options: The date field that you want to filter. The unit of time that you want to use for the filter, such as days, weeks, months, quarters, or years. The range of time that you want to show relative to the anchor date, such as last, next, this, or to date. The anchor date that you want to use as the reference point for the filter. You can use the current date or a custom date as the anchor date1 For example, if you want to create a relative-date filter that shows data for the last 3 months from January 1st, 2022, you would select the following options: Date field: Order Date Unit of time: Months Range of time: Last 3 Anchor date: Custom (01/01/2022) 1 The other options are not valid definitions of anchor when creating a date filter in Tableau. The mid-point in the range of displayed dates is not related to the anchor date, but rather to the center of the axis that represents the date field. The date in a range-of-dates filter to which you anchor units of time is not correct, because a range-of-dates filter does not use an anchor date, but rather a start and end date that can be fixed or dynamic. The latest date in the data source that can be found is not related to the anchor date, but rather to the maximum value of the date field in the data source2

When using a data source that has relationships, you can add a join between two or more tables by dragging a table directly on top of an existing logical table from the Tables pane. This will create a logical table that contains the joined tables. You can then edit the join type, join clauses, and join calculation as needed2 The other options are not valid ways to add a join between tables when using relationships. From the Tables pane, double-clicking a table will add it to the data source as a separate logical table, not joined with any other table. From the Connections pane, selecting Add will allow you to add another connection to the data source, not join tables within the same connection. Double-clicking a logical table in the canvas will open the Data Source page, where you can view and edit the fields in the logical table, not join it with another table2

We can use scatter plots to visualize relationships between numerical variables!

In Tableau, you create a scatter plot by placing at least one measure on the Columns shelf and at least one measure on the Rows shelf (Total 2 minimum). If these shelves contain both dimensions and measures, Tableau places the measures as the innermost fields, which means that measures are always to the right of any dimensions that you have also placed on these shelves. The word "innermost" in this case refers to the table structure.

A scatter plot can use several mark types. By default, Tableau uses the shape mark type. Depending on your data, you might want to use another mark type, such as a circle or a square. For more information, see Change the Type of Mark in the View.

To create a scatter plot, follow the steps below:
