New to Tableau? This is the first chapter you should read. Tableau is an easy tool, and you can even start using it without any training. However, using it the wrong way or without knowing the basics is a big mistake. People who are unhappy with Tableau, or who find it difficult to use, don't have the necessary knowledge to have a great start.

- The different Tableau products
- Speaking Tableau
- Dimensions and Measures
- Blue and green—Discrete and Continuous
- The toolbar options
- Live or Extract
By the end of this chapter, you'll have all the knowledge to start your Tableau journey in the best possible way.
