It’s easy to practice and have various examples to understand the basics in tableau. This book has helped professionally. I will advice this book

This book is very well-planned, well-researched, well-designed, well-written, and well-edited with extremely thorough presentation. I've purchased 5 different books on Tableau. However, I've learned more from this book than I ever did in all the other books combined. The problem I've had with most books dealing with Tableau is, there are no hands-on exercises and the examples provided in those books are essentially trivial for practical purposes. Not so with “Mastering Tableau”, there are online support files and example codes you can download for the hands-on exercises which are well written and thoroughly explained. This is indisputably the best Tableau book that I have ever come across.This is a must have book for Tableau users - whether you are new to Tableau or more advanced. The novice will feel like less than a novice by the first five chapters. Those who are more advanced can use this book as a great reference (it helps refresh forgotten knowledge). The material is arranged with the most elegant and simple descriptions of complex concepts unfolding into sophisticated working prototypes. Chapter by chapter, the introduction to the reader of “Mastering Tableau” and other intricacies within the object model builds understanding of fundamentals and delivers where most books fail - without extraneous and misleading detail. I highly recommend this book.
