Description

Tableau is unlike most other BI platforms that have a single data modeling tool and enterprise data model (for example, LookML from Google’s Looker). That doesn’t mean Tableau doesn’t have enterprise data governance; it is both robust and highly flexible. This book will help you effectively use Tableau governance models to build a data-driven organization. Data Modeling with Tableau is an extensive guide, complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and hands-on exercises. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll learn the role that Tableau Prep Builder and Tableau Desktop each play in data modeling. You’ll also explore the components of Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud that make data modeling more robust, secure, and performant. Moreover, by extending data models for Ask and Explain Data, you’ll gain the knowledge required to extend analytics to more people in their organizations, leading to better data-driven decisions. Finally, this book will guide you through the entire Tableau stack and the techniques required to build the right level of governance into Tableau data models for the correct use cases. By the end of this Tableau book, you’ll have a firm understanding of how to leverage data modeling in Tableau to benefit your organization.

Who is this book for?

This book is for data analysts and business analysts who are looking to enhance their data skills, offering a broad foundation to build better data models in Tableau for easier analysis and better query performance. It will also benefit anyone responsible for making secure data available to their organization through Tableau, such as data stewards and others who work to take enterprise data and make it more accessible to business analysts.

This book provides a useful guide with powerful examples on all aspects of modeling with Tableau's products (Desktop, Prep, Prep Conductor, etc.). At times it is a bit verbose, but it explains things in great detail. It provides useful visualizations of the UI as well as valuable resources, such as links to files online that correspond with the text. Overall, a great resource for end-to-end modeling with Tableau.

Mark Bradbourne Jan 10, 2023

There are so many books about Tableau on the market, so I can’t lie and say I wasn’t concerned about overlap in the library, but I was pleasantly surprised.This deep dive in to the why, and how of preparing data for effective use in Tableau was something I wasn’t expecting but after reviewing the book it’s an amazing gap to fill in the Tableau library.This isn’t the sexy part of Tableau, but if you want to be successful, it’s the necessary part. Being able to construct secure, concise, and effective data sources for your organization is critical for success. This book will help you get there.If you are responsible for your data engineering, data source creation, or just want to be able to have a deeper understanding of data sources for your own analysis, this one should be on your shelf.

Just finished ’Data Modeling with Tableau’ by the amazing Kirk Munroe and I’m thrilled by the massive loads of great insight in this book; perfect balance of being comprehensive and easy to follow along. Read it cover to cover, did all exercises & I’m impressed with the attention to details, although very easy to follow along. I recommend it to any aspiring Tableau Data Rockstar analysts out there.
