What is tableau and how it works?

Question

Could someone tell me what is Tableau and how it works?

Answer 1

Tableau is the fastest and most popular data visualization software out there amongst all other data visualization software.

Tableau is a very powerful software which supports data integration from numerous platforms like, AWS, Azure, GCP, MySQL, Hadoop, etc. Tableau extracts the data from these sources and then put up on Tableau’s data engine that is Tableau Desktop. Then the Data analysts and data engineers work upon the extracted data to create interactively visualization in a dashboard, the users who have the authorization to view these dashboards will utilize the data visualization directly without going through the raw data analysis.

Tableau software is easy and intuitive to learn, then why not check Intellipaat’s Tableau certification course which also helps you in becoming a Tableau Desktop Qualified Associate. This course also helps you in learning public integration with R and Big Data.
