Book Description

Tableau is unlike most other BI platforms that have a single data modeling tool and enterprise data model (for example, LookML from Google's Looker). That doesn't mean Tableau doesn't have enterprise data governance; it is both robust and very flexible. This book will help in building a data-driven organization with the proper use of tableau governance models.

Data modeling with Tableau is complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and hands-on exercises. You will learn the role that Tableau Prep Builder and Tableau Desktop each play in data modeling. It also explores the components of Tableau Server and Cloud that make data modeling more robust, secure, and performant. Moreover, by extending data models for Ask and Explain Data, you will gain the knowledge required to extend analytics to more people in their organizations, leading to better data-driven decisions.

Finally, this book will get into the entire Tableau stack and get the techniques required to build the right level of governance into Tableau data models for the right use cases.
