Tableau Visual Analytics

Tableau is a tool for interactive visual analytics and dashboards that allows users to visually analyze and explore data. It should not be used solely as a way to access or display data as there are cheaper options available for those purposes. Tableau Desktop is used for analytics and dashboard development on a local machine and allows users to author data connections and publish directly to Tableau Server. Resources for learning more about Tableau include their website, training courses, an online gallery of visualizations, and communities of Tableau users.

Visual Analytics

WHAT IS TABLEAU?

Tableau is used for interactive, visual analytics and dashboards.


It can also be used for ad-hoc analysis of data.
WHAT TABLEAU IS NOT?
Tableau should not be used as a
gateway to access data.

It should not be used to only


display tables and filters.

If you are interested in using


Tableau for any of these things,
there are better, cheaper options
available for you.
Bottom Line:
Think visually with Tableau.
Adding visual context makes data useful.
