For example, you might have a spatial file of city council districts, and a text file containing latitude and longitude coordinates of reported potholes. You can use a spatial calculation when creating your data source to join these files and analyze which district takes the longest to repair potholes.</p>&#13; <p>You can also create a line that connects two data points for origin-destination maps. For example, you might have a spreadsheet of public transportation data that tells you where commuters began and ended their trips. You can use a spatial calculation to see what paths commuters are taking.</p>&#13; <h2 is="heading-item" :level="2" id="spatial-functions-available-in-tableau">Spatial functions available in Tableau</h2>&#13; <td>Notes</td>&#13; <p>Supported unit names (must be in quotation marks in the calculation, such as <code>'miles'</code>):&#13; </p><ul><li><i>meters</i>: meters, metres, m</li><li><i>kilometers</i>: kilometers, kilometres, km</li><li><i>miles</i>: miles, mi</li><li><i>feet</i>: feet, ft</li></ul>&#13; <td>Definition</td>&#13; <p>For spatial points, returns a polygon shape centered over a <code>&lt;spatial point&gt;</code>, with a radius determined by the <code>&lt;distance&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;unit&gt;</code> values.</p>&#13; <p>For linestrings, computes the polygons formed by including all points within the radius distance from the linestring.</p>&#13; <td>Example</td>&#13; <td><pre xml:space="preserve">BUFFER([Spatial Point Geometry], 25, 'mi')</pre><pre xml:space="preserve">BUFFER(MAKEPOINT(47.59, -122.32), 3, 'km')</pre><pre xml:space="preserve">BUFFER(MAKELINE(MAKEPOINT(0, 20),MAKEPOINT (30, 30)),20,'km'))</pre>&#13; <td>Notes</td>&#13; <p>Supported unit names (must be in quotation marks in the calculation, such as <code>'miles'</code>):&#13; <li><i>meters</i>: meters, metres, m</li>&#13; <li><i>kilometers</i>: kilometers, kilometres, km</li>&#13; <li><i>miles</i>: miles, mi </li>&#13; <li><i>feet</i>: feet, ft</li>&#13; <td>Notes</td>&#13; <p>Supported unit names (must be in quotation marks in the calculation, such as <code>'miles'</code>):&#13; <li><i>meters</i>: meters, metres, m</li>&#13; <li><i>kilometers</i>: kilometers, kilometres, km</li>&#13; <li><i>miles</i>: miles, mi</li>&#13; <li><i>feet</i>: feet, ft</li>&#13; <td>Notes</td>&#13; <p><code>MAKEPOINT</code> can't use the automatically generated latitude and longitude fields.
