What does "CopyCalc" mean?

The name “CopyCalc” came from the idea of creating a website where Tableau developers could come and copy useful calculated fields, saving them time. From that idea came more ideas such as adding a custom color palette generator that improved on that manual process and a calculated field syntax formatter. I also wanted to lay out some tips and tricks that I’ve learned along the way. Tableau development is fun to me, and I hope to help make it fun and rewarding for your professional career.
