Hello All,
Welcome to my blog and hope you are doing well. In this blog, i will share all the real-time scenarios coming in any group of organisation.
But, before go into deep dive in those scenarios, i would like to first tell you about the basic component or element of tableau desktop. Why i want to tell this, because in my starting day, i was in some situation where i didn't know what to do and that it available in tableau just one click away.
So, lets start with that.
Tableau is BI (Business Intelligence) tool, provides data analytics into interactive form like Bar, Line, Pie charts and many other forms by connecting different sources of data.
1) Menu - This is the common menu, you will get in all the windows software.
2) Tool Bar - This bar is just below the Menu. Its just the icon form of sum of sub-menu.
3) Data/Analytics - Below of Tool Bar, on left side these tabs are there.
4) Dimensions - This shelf indicating all the level of data in the form of String, Boolean, Date, etc.
5) Measures - This shelf shows the facts of the data in the form of numeric.
6) Pages - This will have the information of pages included in Story.
7) Marks - This shelf shows all the options which needs to be view on charts.
8) Color - Using this we visualize the data into different colors on the basis of measures or
dimension.
9) Size - This will increase or decrease the size of charts.
10) Text - Text will show any of the information included on view as text on the same view.
11) Detail - This option this used to show some extra information of data.
12) Tooltip - Any information need to be show as popup, we can use tooltip.
13) Columns - Any data, if we want to see as in column.
14) Rows - Any data, if we want to see as in row.
15) Show Me - This option is on the right side of Tool Bar. Having the options to choose different type of charts.
16) Sheet - We will use this option sheet/worksheet for creating any type of visualization.
17) Dashboard - We will include all the sheets into one dashboard/workbook
18) Data Source - This option use to connect different sources of data.
19) Story - We can use this option, in case of story board visualization.
Now when you go to dashboard tab, we will have some more shelves
1) Device Preview - Since tableau 10, they are supporting for mobile also. So, we can see the preview of workbook as mobile/tab view.
2) Sheets - This shelf shows list of available sheets in workbook.
3) Objects - All the available controls like container, images, text etc are available in this.
4) Tiled - This option is use to where we want to align the worksheets in order.
5) Floating - Floating option use in case we want to overlap any view.
6) Show dashboard title - By checking this, we will have a title for the dashboard.
In next post, we will learn about the more about the sub menus and Sample - superstore data and try to visualize some basic charts.
For any doubt and question, please comment below.
