Much faster, isn't it? This was a simplistic example, but illustrates nicely the
time saved by using visualization as an analytic tool, rather than simply
generating nice charts and graphs for presentations. As the data sets become
more complex, the potential time savings become even greater.
3. Introduction to tableau.(overview of tableau)
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/tableau/tableau_overview.htm
As a leading data visualization tool Tableau has many desirable and unique
features. Its powerful data discovery and exploration application allows you
to answer important questions in seconds. You can use Tableau's drag and
drop interface to visualize any data, explore different views, and even
combine multiple databases together easily. It does not need any complex
scripting. Anyone who understands the business problem can address it with
a visualization of the relevant data. When the analysis is finished, sharing
with others is as easy as publishing to Tableau Server.
The description of each of the file type and their usage is as follows:
Tableau .tdsx This file is similar to the .tds file with the addition
Packaged of data along with the connection details.
Data
source
Tableau .tde This file contains the data used in a .twb file in a
Data highly compressed columnar data format. This
Extract helps in storage optimization. It also saves the
aggregated calculations that are applied in the
analysis. This file should be refreshed to get the
updated data form the source.
Tableau .tps This file stores the colour preference used across
Preferenc all the workbooks. It is mainly used for consistent
es look and feel across the users.

Hidden fields are not included when you create an extract. By hiding unnecessary
fields before you create an extract, you make the extract smaller and improve
performance.
Click the drop down to the right of Dimensions on the Data pane and choose Hide
All Unused Fields.
After defining any filters, choose Aggregate data for visible dimensions. This
aggregates the data using the default aggregation for measures.
If the extract contains Date fields, you can also choose Roll up dates to adjust date
granularity thereby further minimizing the size of the extract.
4 Click Extract
When ready, click Extract and specify a location for the extract (TDE) file. The
extract will only contain the visible fields and the data will be aggregated as you
specified.
Refresh the Extract at any time by choosing Data > Refresh All Extracts.

A bar chart represents data in rectangular bars with length of the bar
proportional to the value of the variable. Tableau automatically produces a
bar chart when you drag a dimension to the row shelf and measure to the
column shelf. We can also use the bar chart option present in the Show Me
button. If the data is not appropriate for bar chart then this option will be
automatically greyed out.
We can apply colours to the bars based on their ranges. The longer bars get darker
shades and the smaller bars get the lighter shades. To do this, we drag the profit
field to the color pallette under the Marks Pane. Also note that, it produces a
different colour for negative bars.
Stacked Bar Chart
We can add another dimension to the above bar chart to produce a stacked bar
chart which shows different colours in each bar. We drag the dimension field named
segment to the Marks pane and drop it in colors. The below chart appears which
shows the distribution of each segment in each bar.

In a line chart a measure and a dimension are taken along the two axes of
the chart area. The pair of values for each observation becomes a point
and the joining of all these points create a line showing the variation or
relationship between the dimensions and measures chosen.
We choose one dimension and one measure to create a simple line chart.
Lets drag the dimension Ship Mode to Columns Shelf and Sales to the
rows shelf. Choose the Line chart from the Marks card. We get the below
line chart which shows the variation of Sales for different Ship modes.
Multiple Measure Line Chart
We can use one dimension with two or more measures in a line chart. This
will produce multiple line charts each in one pane. Each pane represents
the variation of the dimension with the one of the measures.
Each of the points making the line chart can be labeled to make the values
of the measure visible. In this case let's drop another measure Profit Ratio
into the labels pane in the Marks card. Choose average as the aggregation
and we get the below chart showing the labels.
