Tile

Hi community

i have read the Help section and tried to find some videos in youtube about the Tile Tool. Even going through the tutorial.. but i still dont get it how it works. Is there a simpler way to understand this ? or maybe a small dataset to understand how it actually works ?

thanks.

@gavinwong,

Equal Records : This will divide the no. of records into sets. Suppose you have 100 records and you want 3 tiles then it simply divide the no. of records by no. of tiles and hence will create three sets having no. of records as 33,33 and 34. If you want create 5 sets then this will create 5 sets with 20 records.

ex : 100 records into 4 tiles.

100/4=25 records in each tiles.(1 to 4)

Equal Sum : Likewise equal records but it will distributes in such a way that all the tiles will hold approximate average.

In Equal records tiles will be assigned in sequential order but here in equal sum it generates averages of each tile in a random order.

Note: If you don't to get your records which are already tagged to some fields then you can use Don't Split tile method.

Thanks,

Vishwa

Hello @gavinwong - Tile tool is definitely confusing but very powerful.

The best way to learn is to check out the example (which has inbuilt sample data).

If you click on the tool and open example, you will see a very good example, explaining different functions a tile tool can do.

The next step can be you create a sample data (relatively small) set and test yourself and be more comfortable.

Hope this helps!

Hi @ydmuley,

yes i have tried that. and narrowed down my data set as attached... after running the tile tool through all the scenarios.. still dont get what its trying to do.
