I used this book for a training. Seems that author or the editors could have spent more time before publishing this book. Texts and codes don’t always match and codes are not even consistent. Best part is on page 124, data was about flower iris, but middle in the page it reads ‘wine’ from some unknown data. You can’t help but thinking how nice it must have been thinking of flowers and wines while writing this part!

Overall, the book is a fantastic overview of using R in tableau. The issue is that you cannot get your hands on the files to go along with the book. In the beginning, they have you going to Packt Publishing and/or Git Hub to get them, but when you do, there are only "read me" files and the CSV data you should have is nowhere to be found.. I contacted Packt and they sent me two emails, telling me that were trying to reach the author. The problem is that I wanted the files in order to teach classes with them. I would have given five stars to the book, if I had the files. But, as is, my students cannot use the book in the way the author says they can.

This book contains pages and pages of theory with very little practical execution or hands-on exercises. Totally useless. It is like reading a book on swimming when what you really want to do is actually swim.

I don't ever want to write a negative review for a book. However, in this case, it seems warranted. The text of the e-book seems to be incomplete. The chapter summaries read as if large parts of chapters are missing. The packet of supporting files are very confusing. The sample Tableau files are missing the associated databases and have nothing to do with the chapters. I thought maybe the file set was wrong, but the databases are the correct ones. The R examples seem to be well done, but the Tableau examples are pretty poorly documented. I was hoping for a book that talked about integration of R and Tableau more. Perhaps this book does, within the missing sections, but as is, it was not 40 dollars well spent. I'm very dissatisfied.

This book has a lot of useful informations if and only if the data they use is not broken/changed.
