Cells

Cells are the basic components of any table you can create in Tableau. For a text table, the cell is the intersection of a row and a column, and is where the text is displayed. For example, one of the 68 cells is highlighted in the view below.

A table depicting Sales by Sub-Category and Quarter, with the cell for sales of accessories in Q1 highlighted.

For other view types such as bar charts and scatter plots, identifying the cell is not always possible or useful.
