Overview of this book

Tableau is one of the leading data visualization tools and is regularly updated with new functionalities and features. The latest release, Tableau 2019.2, promises new and advanced features related to visual analytics, reporting, dashboarding, and a host of other data visualization aspects. Getting Started with Tableau 2019.2 will get you up to speed with these additional functionalities.

However, if you're new to Tableau, you won't have to worry as the book also covers the major aspects of Tableau with relevant examples. You'll learn how to connect to data, build a data source, visualize your data, build a dashboard, and even share data online. In the concluding chapters, you'll delve into advanced techniques such as creating a cross-database join and data blending. By the end of this book, you will be able to use Tableau effectively to create quick, cost-effective, and business-efficient Business Intelligence (BI) solutions.

Summary

So, you've made it! The data source has no more surprises for you (or maybe one or two that we'll see later!).

In this chapter, you learned about the purpose of a data source, its options, how to refresh it, and how to deal with changes. Then, you learned how to customize a data source using the default properties. Finally, you created hierarchies, groups, sets, and bins.

Building the data source is not the most exciting thing to do if, like me, you love visualization. However, spending some time creating a good data source and understanding its potential is crucial if you want to create the best analysis.

Speaking of visualization, how about we start using Tableau for its primary purpose? The next chapter is all about data visualization.
