Description

Learning Tableau 2022 helps you get started with Tableau and data visualization, but it does more than just cover the basic principles. It helps you understand how to analyze and communicate data visually, and articulate data stories using advanced features. This new edition is updated with Tableau’s latest features, such as dashboard extensions, Explain Data, and integration with CRM Analytics (Einstein Analytics), which will help you harness the full potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and predictive modeling in Tableau. After an exploration of the core principles, this book will teach you how to use table and level of detail calculations to extend and alter default visualizations, build interactive dashboards, and master the art of telling stories with data. You’ll learn about visual statistical analytics and create different types of static and animated visualizations and dashboards for rich user experiences. We then move on to interlinking different data sources with Tableau’s Data Model capabilities, along with maps and geospatial visualization. You will further use Tableau Prep Builder’s ability to efficiently clean and structure data. By the end of this book, you will be proficient in implementing the powerful features of Tableau 2022 to improve the business intelligence insights you can extract from your data.

Who is this book for?

This Tableau book is for aspiring BI developers and data analysts, data scientists, researchers, and anyone else who wants to gain a deeper understanding of data through Tableau. This book starts from the ground up, so you won’t need any prior experience with Tableau before you dive in, but a full Tableau license (or 14-day demo license) is essential to be able to make use of all the exercises.

This book is fairly useless without the relevant files. Perhaps this is just a MAC issue (which its not because it is an underlying data file issue) but for the cost of the book PacktPublishing needs to figure this out. I submitted (not an Amazon issue) a help ticket to Packt but to no avail. The effort required to figure out each example on your own doesn't justify the book. Too bad, at least it's in color.

Prior to acquiring this book I had done a bit of free video learning on Tableau. But I also like to learn from books and to have a book as a reference, where I can write questions and notes in margin, underline and highlight.There were several things I was looking for in a beginning Tableau book. First, I wanted a good description of Measures versus Dimensions. Second, I wanted a good description of discrete v. continuous values. Third, I wanted a good reference on Level of Detail calculations. Finally, I wanted a thorough treatment of the “actions” features in Tableau.Other things that I appreciate being included in the book is the chapter on calculations and parameters, a discussion of groups versus sets, and an entire chapter on table calculations. I also liked the color version of the book and thought color was quite valuable, especially when distinguishing pill types.As for suggestions, something as seemingly simple as sorting is not completely simple in Tableau, and sorting didn’t even have an index entry. There should also have been index entries on things like the AGG() and ATTR() functions, and there are a number of typographical errors.In summary, this is a great book for people starting off with Tableau and it will serve as a great learning tool and reference.

I’ve been an active Tableau user and instructor for over 7 years now and have to admit that this book has something for readers at every level of Tableau experience. Joshua's explanations are clear enough that I’d feel comfortable handing this book to a brand new user that’s never opened Tableau; and his content is so current and in-depth that even veterans like myself with find themselves saying “wow, I didn’t know that!”I was given an advanced copy of this book for review and have only made it through the first 4 chapters. Even if you don’t finish it from cover to cover, having a book like this as a reference is fantastic.

(Background: I read an early review copy of this. It's an update to previous editions. I haven't read those earlier editions and evaluated this as a standalone work. This is an end-user book, not aimed at developers or administrators of Tableau systems.)This book starts with the basics and slowly builds up to fairly sophisticated techniques for doing visualizations using Tableau. If you are a Tableau beginner, this is a great way to learn to use it at your own pace. If you already have some Tableau experience, I'll bet there will be things in here that are either new to you or that you have kind of forgotten about. I know that was true for me.If you are a beginner, I recommend that you stay in Chapter 1 until you feel completely comfortable with all the things he describes in that introduction. Like pretty much any sophisticated tool, there is some terminology that you will find it best to have burned into your brain cells to make the rest of the material easier to take in. Not that it's hard; it's just that it may be new ground for you, and you don't want to be bothered with trying to remember that sort of stuff when you are really trying to digest some larger concept. He does a good job of explaining what you need to know for the rest of the book, so don't skip it thinking it's a lightweight introduction.One of the things I like best about this book, besides its thorough coverage of the topic, is that the author goes beyond merely explaining how to do various things. He explains why you would or would not make various choices. This is the creative part of storytelling with data, and he's interested in having you accomplish your storytelling goals rather than just presenting visual facts from the data.
