#TinyTableauTip If you wan't to find the Leap Year in @tableau, use the following calculation:
IF ([Year] % 4 = 0 AND [Year] % 100 != 0) OR ([Year] % 400 = 0) THEN "Leap Year" ELSE "Non-Leap Year" END
IF ([Year] % 4 = 0 AND [Year] % 100 != 0) OR ([Year] % 400 = 0) THEN "Leap Year" ELSE "Non-Leap Year" END

Hey there #DataFam! Welcome to week 48 of #WOW2024...
So what are doing this week? We're gonna play different mark types on dual axis. This week's challenge is something I'm calling a "candle line" chart.
Check it out and have fun recreating it! 🚀🚀🚀
