can we use loop functions in tableau -

can utilize loop functions(for,while,do while) in tableau calculated fields? if can, how can utilize these functions in calculated fields , how can initialise variables declared in these functions?

no can't. there hacks calculations that, using previous_value , other table calculations, there no loop functions in tableau.

why? because tableau isn't meant info processing tool, rather info visualization tool. don't me wrong, tableau engine process data, perform "query-like" operations.

so why don't post trying accomplish , can think if it's possible accomplished tableau, or require pre-processing in data
