Description

Learning Tableau 2022 helps you get started with Tableau and data visualization, but it does more than just cover the basic principles. It helps you understand how to analyze and communicate data visually, and articulate data stories using advanced features. This new edition is updated with Tableau’s latest features, such as dashboard extensions, Explain Data, and integration with CRM Analytics (Einstein Analytics), which will help you harness the full potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and predictive modeling in Tableau. After an exploration of the core principles, this book will teach you how to use table and level of detail calculations to extend and alter default visualizations, build interactive dashboards, and master the art of telling stories with data. You’ll learn about visual statistical analytics and create different types of static and animated visualizations and dashboards for rich user experiences. We then move on to interlinking different data sources with Tableau’s Data Model capabilities, along with maps and geospatial visualization. You will further use Tableau Prep Builder’s ability to efficiently clean and structure data. By the end of this book, you will be proficient in implementing the powerful features of Tableau 2022 to improve the business intelligence insights you can extract from your data.

Who is this book for?

What I love about this book is the way the author explains how the level of detail and table calculations work by giving examples that are easy to absorb and understand. I also like the chapters about dynamic dashboards and advanced tableau features which you cannot find in other books. The discussion about data prep, data blends, and data relationships is very helpful to tableau developers. Overall this book is complete from the basics to advanced topics to learn and understand tableau.

Josh Milligan is an absolute pro, and explains everything tableau in a clear and concise way! It's a pleasant read and covers essential topics along with 'how to' examples. I recommend this learning resources for anyone who is beginning to use tableau as their analytics and reporting tool of choice.

(Background: I read an early review copy of this. It's an update to previous editions. I haven't read those earlier editions and evaluated this as a standalone work. This is an end-user book, not aimed at developers or administrators of Tableau systems.)This book starts with the basics and slowly builds up to fairly sophisticated techniques for doing visualizations using Tableau. If you are a Tableau beginner, this is a great way to learn to use it at your own pace. If you already have some Tableau experience, I'll bet there will be things in here that are either new to you or that you have kind of forgotten about. I know that was true for me.If you are a beginner, I recommend that you stay in Chapter 1 until you feel completely comfortable with all the things he describes in that introduction. Like pretty much any sophisticated tool, there is some terminology that you will find it best to have burned into your brain cells to make the rest of the material easier to take in. Not that it's hard; it's just that it may be new ground for you, and you don't want to be bothered with trying to remember that sort of stuff when you are really trying to digest some larger concept. He does a good job of explaining what you need to know for the rest of the book, so don't skip it thinking it's a lightweight introduction.One of the things I like best about this book, besides its thorough coverage of the topic, is that the author goes beyond merely explaining how to do various things. He explains why you would or would not make various choices. This is the creative part of storytelling with data, and he's interested in having you accomplish your storytelling goals rather than just presenting visual facts from the data.

Milligan is well known in our field (data visualization) and is the perfect author for this topic. Whether it be Tableau-specific tips, tricks, and fundamentals or greater data viz theory that you can carry on to your practice with other tools, this is an incredibly effective book for new and intermediate Tableau analysts.Packt gave me an advanced review copy of this to read, and before I knew who the author was I was skeptical. Packt is known for their "spray and pray" approach to authors, where they solicit widly and heavily often asking if people are interested in authoring on topics they're unfamiliar with (I was asked if I would write a book on AI of which I know nothing.)In this case, that fear is unfounded. Josh is widely known and respected in the Tableau community, being part of the Zen Master (Tableau's most elite users) 5x.If you're interested in a starting place with Tableau or elevating your skills from beginner, this is a wonderful place to start.

In the first chapter author walkthrough you through connecting data to create a complete dashboard with basic tableau foundational concepts.
