  1. Calculated fields and LAA — what are the key points?

    Level-aware aggregations are QuickSight's LOD equivalent, with PRE_FILTER / PRE_AGG levels · Table calculations take a sort order and a partition — the partition is where it resets · Parameters can be set by controls or passed in via embedding URLs Read the lesson

  2. Building analyses — what are the key points?

    Filter scope: single visual, dataset-wide, or all applicable — choose deliberately · Actions can filter, navigate with parameters, or open URLs · Tiled layout is more maintainable; free-form for polished dashboards Read the lesson

  3. Choosing visual types — what are the key points?

    Field wells hold the visual configuration and change by visual type · A KPI visual needs its comparison to be meaningful · Small multiples usually beat several overlapping series Read the lesson

  4. Parameters, controls and actions — what are the key points?

    A parameter does nothing until a filter, calculation or action references it · Populate dropdown controls from a field so they stay current · Filters narrow data; parameters change what the analysis does Read the lesson
