Discover how visualization turns data into action. Tableau gives you the power to understand your data and put it in a format that is appealing and meaningful for everyone who needs to see it. Tableau For Dummies walks you through the steps to turn your data into a story that inspires action. This easy-to-understand guide offers insights from an enterprise data pro on how to transform data into a clear and memorable visual presentation. 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.
