What is Tableau ? Tableau is easy-to-use business intelligence software used for data analysis. Tableau natively connects to dozens of data sources, including Oracle and MS- SQL, as well as local sources like MS-Access and Excel. Once connected you use drag and drop tools to visualize and create interactive dashboards. Visualizations can be presented to your audience via PDF, Tableau Reader, Tableau Server or Tableau Public.
