Key benefits

  • Master best practices in data modeling with Tableau Prep Builder and Tableau Desktop
  • Apply Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud to create and extend data models
  • Build organizational data models based on data and content governance best practices

Description

Tableau is unlike most other BI platforms that have a single data modeling tool and enterprise data model (for example, LookML from Google’s Looker). That doesn’t mean Tableau doesn’t have enterprise data governance; it is both robust and highly flexible. This book will help you effectively use Tableau governance models to build a data-driven organization. Data Modeling with Tableau is an extensive guide, complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and hands-on exercises. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll learn the role that Tableau Prep Builder and Tableau Desktop each play in data modeling. You’ll also explore the components of Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud that make data modeling more robust, secure, and performant. Moreover, by extending data models for Ask and Explain Data, you’ll gain the knowledge required to extend analytics to more people in their organizations, leading to better data-driven decisions. Finally, this book will guide you through the entire Tableau stack and the techniques required to build the right level of governance into Tableau data models for the correct use cases. By the end of this Tableau book, you’ll have a firm understanding of how to leverage data modeling in Tableau to benefit your organization.

Who is this book for?

This book is for data analysts and business analysts who are looking to enhance their data skills, offering a broad foundation to build better data models in Tableau for easier analysis and better query performance. It will also benefit anyone responsible for making secure data available to their organization through Tableau, such as data stewards and others who work to take enterprise data and make it more accessible to business analysts.

What you will learn

  • Showcase Tableau published data sources and embedded connections
  • Apply Ask Data in data cataloging and natural language query
  • Understand the features of Tableau Prep Builder with the help of hands-on exercises
  • Model data with Tableau Desktop using examples
  • Formulate a governed data strategy using Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud
  • Optimize data models for Ask and Explain Data

Just finished ’Data Modeling with Tableau’ by the amazing Kirk Munroe and I’m thrilled by the massive loads of great insight in this book; perfect balance of being comprehensive and easy to follow along. Read it cover to cover, did all exercises & I’m impressed with the attention to details, although very easy to follow along. I recommend it to any aspiring Tableau Data Rockstar analysts out there.

There are so many books about Tableau on the market, so I can’t lie and say I wasn’t concerned about overlap in the library, but I was pleasantly surprised.This deep dive in to the why, and how of preparing data for effective use in Tableau was something I wasn’t expecting but after reviewing the book it’s an amazing gap to fill in the Tableau library.This isn’t the sexy part of Tableau, but if you want to be successful, it’s the necessary part. Being able to construct secure, concise, and effective data sources for your organization is critical for success. This book will help you get there.If you are responsible for your data engineering, data source creation, or just want to be able to have a deeper understanding of data sources for your own analysis, this one should be on your shelf.

So many books and articles on Tableau focus on the visualization practice but leave data modelling as a neglected stepchild, secondary to the images and charts being generated.This is a shortcoming for all enterprise and corporate users, who need to first build effective and performative data models in tableau using a variety of data sources and types. Indeed one of the challenges with Tableau is getting the data into it using source data rather than extracts. One other challenge is that it is assumed that users have access to the full stack, including Prep, Catalog, Data Management, and more.This book finally addresses many of these issues. It takes you though all the secrets, tips, and capabilities of Tableau Desktop, Server, and Online in building fast and effective data models. This book is an excellent primer for data analysts & scientists, product owners, and business analysts to be able to build effective corporate dashboards.As a Tableau Product Owner, what I appreciate the most is that regardless of your technology stack that you can get the most of the platform using this book. If you only have Tableau Desktop or Server, and not the add-ons like Prep, you can still build out well performing models. It's not a sales pitch, rather it's a master class for experts and new users alike.I'm going to be getting several copies for my office, and I strongly support the content of this book as part of your enterprise learning plan for Tableau.Donal O'BeirnePrincipal Product OwnerATB Financial

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
