Summary
In this chapter, you learned how Tableau ingests data sources, cleans up the data types and fields in the Data Source pane, and what impacts those modifications have. Working from the Data pane and making sure the data is prepared for data visualization is a fundamental building block to enable data visualization itself.
In the next chapter, we will go beyond the Data Source pane and learn about the basics of the Worksheet tab, where we will begin working with a simple chart for reference purposes.
