Technical requirements

Tableau Desktop (and Tableau Prep Builder version 2022.2 or higher in future chapters) version 2022.2 or higher is needed to complete the exercises in this chapter.

If you don’t have a licensed version of Tableau Desktop, you can obtain a 14-day free trial from https://www.tableau.com/products/desktop.

Another alternative is Tableau Public. The free Tableau Public version of Desktop contains almost all the same features as the paid version, with the exception of a small number of data source connection options, and output can only be saved to the Tableau Public site. However, it often has enough features to perform visual analysis as long as the data isn’t confidential. The Tableau Public Desktop version can be found at https://public.tableau.com/s/.

The files used in the exercises in this chapter can be found at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Data-Modeling-with-Tableau/. We recommend downloading all the files before getting started. The quickest way to do this is to click on the green <>Code button and then select Download ZIP. Expand the ZIP file and make note of the directory. We will be referencing it throughout the book.

Note

The aforementioned requirements are applicable to all chapters in this book.
