Explanation

To display data over a range of linear time in Tableau, you should use a continuous date value. This type of date allows you to view data from the first point to the last on a continuous axis, showing the progression of time without breaks. In contrast, a discrete date part would segment the time axis by specific intervals (e.g., months or years), and DATEDIFF and DATEPARSE are calculations used for different purposes, such as finding the difference between dates or parsing date strings, respectively.
