Tableau software offers a unique new way to explore and visualize your data! Most people have a hard time visualizing rows and columns of data and identifying trends. Tableau allows non-technical end users to quickly and easily create pictures from underlying databases.

Data (expressed in pictures) can then easily be "explored" to analyze the data on-screen, as well as including data in presentations; Tableau Server also allows for all visualizations created to be quickly and easily posted to the web for sharing with others.

Tableau includes many features, such as drill-down via filters, selection by highlighting cells within a chart; calculated measures or dimensions, annotations; drill-back to detailed information on-screen; cut-and-paste into Excel, and combining multiple charts on a single dashboard. Dashboards may include controls (global to all charts on the dashboard or local to a single chart).

Setting Tableau apart is its simple creation of graphical -- as opposed to tabular -- reports, combined with built-in intelligence to recommend the most effective formats for those reports.

Publish Tableau Dashboards to the web, combining Financial, Human Resources, and Student information into a portal (with real- time updates), accessible by board members, district administrators, and building administrators, all with a few mouse clicks.
