As part of Tableau Questions and Answers series, I am asking questions related to Tableau and data warehousing concepts, for this post I am asking about LOD calculations. I will encourage my students and other readers to explore the answers and reply with comments.

LOD expressions give you even more control on the level of granularity you want to compute both at data source level and visualization level. They can be performed at a more granular level (INCLUDE), a less granular level (EXCLUDE), or an entirely independent level (FIXED).
Lod(level of detail) calculations compute aggregation which outside of the view of data. Lod expression has a specific sumtax and work with specific keyword such as include, exclude and fixed.
