Summary
Congratulations! We are only one chapter in and you have already created a data model in Tableau. We now know how to structure the ideal data model for Tableau. We looked at connecting to data, exploring how Tableau interprets that data, reshaping data for analysis, and adding additional data. With this learning foundation, we are well-positioned for more advanced topics in the following chapters, where we will build security, maintainability, and robustness into our data models.
In the next chapter, we will look at Tableau licensing models and how licensing impacts data modeling. We will also explore the difference between embedded and published data models and the difference between data models that connect live to data and those that extract data for analysis.
