This tool was produced by Department of Computer Science in Stanford University. The visualisations are shown in the form of worksheets and dashboards. Tableau helps in combining data from multiple data sources and analysing it together in the form of a graph. It allows for real time analysis of data even when the velocity is super high. Tableau is a collaborative tool where users can share vital data, put follow up queries and help cross-teams benefit from easy-to-understand visualisations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Different Tableau&nbsp;Products<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Tableau Desktop<\/strong>&#8211; It helps users&nbsp;analyse&nbsp;data with the help of visual analytics&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Tableau Prep<\/strong>&#8211; This contains two products&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Tableau Prep builder- To help you construct data flows&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\"><li>Tableau Prep Conductor- For managing, monitoring and scheduling data flows in the organisation&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Tableau Server and&nbsp;Tableau Online<\/strong>&#8211; It helps you in hosting data sources, data extracts, workbooks and others&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Tableau Reader<\/strong>&#8211; It is a free tool for importing and opening packaged workbooks for viewing the underlying data&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Tableau Mobile<\/strong>&#8211; It is a free mobile app that provides access to Tableau Server and Tableau Online&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Tableau Viewer<\/strong>&#8211; It allows users to interact with workbooks made by others on tableau Server, tableau Online and Tableau Mobile.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;Installing&nbsp;Tableau&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For installing Tableau, you need to&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Download the software on the computer\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Accept the license agreement\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Verify the installation by clicking on\u00a0the installation icon\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tableau Workspace<\/strong>&nbsp;consists of toolbars, menus, cards and data windows.
