Foreword
Tableau was founded with a simple mission: to help people see and understand their data. More than ten years later, we're pursuing that same mission. We've been fortunate to build a talented team of people who deeply believe in serving that mission. Just as importantly, we've collaborated with hundreds of thousands of people working for our 13,500+ customer accounts worldwide.
Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server, which are the focus of this book, put the power of data into the hands of those people who inspired us from the beginning. We've designed our software to be flexible and capable enough to help a single person answer questions from a spreadsheet, or to enable thousands of people across an enterprise to execute complex queries against massive databases.
Tableau can help you answer questions with data. We hear stories daily about how people use Tableau to help increase sales, streamline operations, improve customer service, manage investments, assess quality and safety, study and treat diseases, pursue academic research, address environmental problems and improve education.
My hope is that this book can accelerate your adoption of Tableau.
