I am occasionally asked to review new technical books to determine what development tools could be beneficial to mefor current and upcoming data presentation and analysis projects.One such resource that I have had the recent pleasure of reviewing is theMastering Tableau 2023 Fourth Edition authored by Marleen Meier and published by PackT Publishing. Ihave been a Tableau user for just a little over two years and originally read the Mastering Tableau 2021Third Edition by Marleen Meier and David Baldwin when it was first released. This fourth edition builds uponthat same foundation offering greater insight into Tableau 2023. Mastering Tableau 2023 Fourth Edition coversan exhaustive set of Tableau's features from design, preparation,practice and presentation but one thing that makes this book easily digestible is the toneof Meier's explanations. She makes it relatable and breaks the topics down into personable language and occasional humoras if you were present in a her course.The topics in this book covers the majority of topics that I have read in most Tableau resources including a refreshingreview of the basics like worksheets, dashboards, dimensions, tables, calculations, joinsand PrepBuilder. Meier takes a deeper dive into explaining TabPy's integration of Tableau and Python'sability to receive arguments and effectively return data from functions.There is a great explanation of joins and unions of logical tables whichcan enhance or create blended data relationships, data densifications and domain completion in forecasting.Meier covers Tableau's Prep Builder environment and gives detailed yet simple exercises and instructionsto help the reader understand useful applications of prepping their data inputs to be cleaned, massaged and prepared for easy toingest data analysis. Although I primarily use SQL and other tools to perform joinsand calculations before inserting data into Tableau, Meier does a great job explaining how a non-developercan perform the same features and joins within Tableau and Tableau Prep. There have been times that I havehad errors joining fields between logical tables in Tableau and Meier gives great instructions on how thiscommon issue can be remedied by modifying the adjoining string columns of similar data type to performbetter matching. For the reader who is particularly interested in using Pivots for their data,there is a very good instructional exercise of using Pivots in Tableau Prep Builder. I have struggled beforeparticularly in Tableau with combining multiple lines or visuals from three or more graphs onto one and thisbook explains how this data can easily be prepared using Prep Builder to design a visual synchronizing multiple axisinto one. Meier also covers Data Flow Insertion, Incremental Refreshes and Bulk Renames from Prep Builder.Of another particular interest to me was Meier's explanation of Regression Analysis which coversthe estimating of variable relationships such as linear regression be itlogarithmic, exponential or polynomial. Meier explains that the scripting language R is a flexible tool for regression analysis anddoes a great job of explaining how variables can be fitted into the R function for multi-variable linearregression linear models.Further into this book Meier hints at the ability of fusing AI with Tableau Analyticsafter the announcement of new products like Tableau GPT and Tableau Pulse which will be hitting the market soon.Great book overall.
