Understanding the Dynamics of Tableau — DAELites Masterclass

What is TABLEAU?
Tableau is a powerful data visualization and business intelligence tool that helps users analyze, visualize, and share data insights. It allows users to create interactive and shareable dashboards that depict trends, variations, and density of data in the form of graphs and charts. With its user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, Tableau can handle large datasets and connect to various data sources, including spreadsheets, databases, and cloud services. It is widely used for making data-driven decisions in various industries by transforming complex data into understandable visuals.

KEY COMPONENT OF TABLEAU
Tableau consists of several key components, each playing a crucial role in the data analysis process:

Tableau Desktop: This is the primary development tool for creating and designing visualizations and dashboards. It allows users to connect to different data sources, perform data cleaning and transformation, and build interactive visuals through a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface.

Tableau Server: A platform for sharing, distributing, and collaborating on Tableau dashboards across an organization. It provides secure, centralized access to Tableau reports and allows users to interact with visualizations without needing the Tableau Desktop application.

Tableau Online: A cloud-based version of Tableau Server that allows users to publish and share dashboards online. It eliminates the need for managing server hardware and provides flexibility for remote access and collaboration.

Tableau Public: A free version of Tableau Desktop and Tableau Online combined, designed for anyone who wants to share their data visualizations publicly. It has some limitations in terms of data source connectivity and storage options but is great for learning and sharing insights on public platforms.

Tableau Prep: A tool for data preparation that enables users to clean, shape, and combine data from different sources before using it in Tableau Desktop. It provides a visual and interactive way to prepare data, making it easier to ensure data quality and consistency.
