Getting started with Tableau!

Tableau: Master of visualizations
1 min readApr 21, 2019

Well… That’s a long story on how I concluded to learn Tableau but here I am writing about it!!

The best way to learn something is to know whether that excites you. Before spending your hard earned money in buying licenses for the XYZ suggested by your peer, try how comfortable you are with the learning and the tool.

I chose Tableau because I love the arts. Weird right!!

Yes, I chose to learn tableau because the interface looks like a canvas to me where I can paint anything I could wish for. Drag and drop everything that I wanted to visualize and the final masterpiece is an abstract art that explains business excellence. I enjoy visualizing past, present, and future of a scenario and help businesses make some meaningful decisions.

Everyone may not feel the same excitement as I do, but it’s always good to know what you want!

To experience the reality of how it feels like… try Tableau public.

You can download it from Tableau official website and Learn basics from the Free Training Videos. However, we will be learning everything that is essential in the sequence of blog posts coming up.

Happy learning!!
