Introduction to Tableau

Tableau turns data into interactive charts and dashboards with drag and drop.

📖 Key ideas

  1. Tableau is a leading business intelligence (BI) tool, now part of Salesforce.
  2. Products: Tableau Desktop, Tableau Public (free), Tableau Cloud/Server.
  3. Connect to Excel, CSV, databases and cloud sources.
  4. Build views by dragging fields to Rows, Columns and Marks.
  5. Share via Tableau Public or Tableau Cloud.
💡 Real-life example: Tableau is a magnetic board: drag data pieces onto it and charts appear.
