Essential Concepts for Effective Use of Tableau

 Some of these key concepts we should aware about Tableau:

1. Data Source: A data source is the location of the data that will be used for analysis and visualization in Tableau. Data sources can include spreadsheets, databases, cloud-based applications, and other sources of data.
2. Workbook: A workbook is a collection of sheets, dashboards, and stories that are used to create and share visualizations in Tableau.
3. Sheet: A sheet is a single view within a workbook that displays data as a visualization. Users can create multiple sheets within a workbook to analyze and display different aspects of the data.
4. Visualization: A visualization is a graphical representation of data that allows users to better understand and analyze it. Tableau offers a range of visualization types, including bar charts, line charts, scatter plots, heat maps, and more.
5. Calculated Field: A calculated field is a custom formula that users can create to perform calculations and manipulate data within Tableau.
6. Filter: A filter is used to narrow down the data that is displayed in a visualization. Users can apply filters to a sheet or dashboard to focus on specific subsets of the data.
7. Dashboard: A dashboard is a collection of visualizations and other components that are combined into a single view. Dashboards can be used to display key metrics and provide an overview of the data.
8. Story: A story is a sequence of visualizations and other elements that are used to tell a data-driven narrative. Stories can be used to highlight trends, insights, and key findings from the data.
