  • In Regular calculation it takes data from data source and returns value to the tableau.
    In Table calculation, its takes data from tableau screen and returns value to the tableau screen.

  • In Regular tables, the calculated query will be sent directly to the data source for processing.
    Where in table calculation it will be processed inside the table itself by using of some pre-defined Table Calc functions on tableau.
