Extract Filters:

By using Extract Filters reduce the amount of data stored in our extracts so it will improve the performance. Let know how to use Extract Filters. When loading the information we will able to extract it, saving a shot of its present state in our book and this may reduce the Tableau queries to supply.  It is the lowest filter used for pulling the data from large sources and helps to want data we want to extract and what data can be ignored. When we have an unused data in extract files it will affect performance and loading times. Explain about Types of Filters in Tableau

Data Source Filters: 

Data Source Filters are used when we are connecting the live database with a big amount of data at that time we can use this filters to reduce the amount of data appearing. Similar to the Extract Tableau filters, reduce the amount of data feeding into Tableau and limit what data viewers can see.
