Chapter 2. The Tableau Core
New to Tableau? You are in the right place to start! Tableau is simple, and you could start using it without any training. However, using it the wrong way, or without knowing the basics, is a big mistake. I have met many people who were unhappy with Tableau, just because they never learned the basics.
To begin, we'll go through all the things that every Tableau user should know. The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- The different Tableau products
- Speaking Tableau
- Dimensions and Measures
- Blue and green – Discrete and Continuous
- The toolbar options
- Live or Extract
By the end of this chapter, you'll have all the knowledge you need to start your Tableau journey in the best possible way.
