Introduction
Maybe you’ve picked up this book because you want to know about business intelligence and data analytics from the perspective of an enterprise vendor. Or perhaps you want to get into the proverbial weeds of learning how to use an enterprise-class business intelligence platform to tell stories using data visualization techniques. As you read Tableau For Dummies, 2nd Edition, you may just develop a zest for both.
Tableau is a French word that means to present a graphic description or a representation, which may include artistic groupings, arrangements, or scenes. Translating this idea into the technology platform, the Tableau platform allows users to take their datasets and create competing data visualizations, reports, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to help tell a story.
Tableau For Dummies, 2nd Edition, offers a look at all the versions of Tableau, but the central focus is on working with Tableau Desktop, Tableau Prep, and Tableau Cloud. Whether you are a novice learning how to create robust data solutions, an analyst looking to explore your datasets, or an end user wanting to consume a story told by Tableau through data visualizations, this book will give you a great start on working with Tableau.
