I’m trying to figure out how Tableau calculates and generates the Number of Records. Counting the rows manually does not equal the count tableau is giving. And if it is a sum of some values, which one exactly? I have tried to sum up many values but none is just corresponding. Kindly help out.

Oh, i found it. I had to go to excel to view the entire worksheet, then i found the values Tableau counted to make the total count – the entire values are not displayed in Tableau.
