What is Data Visualization ?

Data visualization is the presentation of data in a pictorial or graphical format. It enables


decision makers to see analytics presented visually, so they can grasp difficult concepts or
identify new patterns.

With interactive visualization, you can take the concept a step further by using technology
to drill down into charts and graphs for more detail, interactively changing what data you
see and how it’s processed.

Why Data Visualization ?

Humans respond to and process visual data better than any other type of data. In fact, the
human brain processes images 60,000 times faster than text, and 90% of information
transmitted to the brain is visual.

• Visualization allows visual access to huge amount of data in easily digestible visuals.
• Identify areas that need attention or improvement.
• Prediction and data insights
• Timely Information and live data.
How to achieve Data Visualization ?
About Tableau
• Tableau was founded in Mountain View, California in January 2003, by Chris Stolte,
Christian Chabot and Pat Hanrahan.

• Tableau is a powerful and fastest growing data visualization tool used in the Business
Intelligence Industry. It helps in simplifying raw data into the very easily understandable
format.

• Data analysis is very fast with Tableau and the visualizations created are in the form of
dashboards and worksheets. The data that is created using Tableau can be understood by
professional at any level in an organization. It even allows a non-technical user to create a
customized dashboard.

• It allows the customer to spend more time on Data Analysis and less on “data wrangling”.
Why Tableau ?
• Access to Multiple Data Connection

Tableau connects easily to nearly any Data source, be it corporate Data Warehouse,
Microsoft Excel or web-based data.

• Live Analysis

Tableau allows you to connect to your live data and perform various analysis on it.

• Maps

Most tools requires an extreme amount of work to make map data work correctly. Tableau
made it pretty seamless.

• Shelves Section

Want to filter? Drag the column into the filter shelf.


Want to see row of data? Drag it to the row shelf.
Want to colour? Drag it to the colour shelf.
• Show me Tool

Tableau is awesome at recommending which visualization to use. Just hitting the Showme
tool from the toolbar menu helps you get best possible suggestion for the selected
Dimension and Measure.

• Speed
• Easy Publishing and sharing
• Beautiful and interactive dashboards.

The great thing about Tableau software is that it doesn't require any technical or any kind
of programming skills to operate. The tool has garnered interest among the people from all
sectors such as business, researchers, different industries, etc

Note: “All features are available in other tools, but not all together in single tool.”

VIZQL “ A Language for query, analysis and visualization”

VIZQL , is a technology that allows simple drag and drop functions to create sophisticated
visualizations.
Tableau’s Data Engine, a technology that has the to do ad-hoc analysis of millions rows of
data in seconds.

Note: VIZQL is the backbone of Tableau

• A traditional analysis tool forces you to analyse data in rows and columns, choose a
subset of your data to present, organize that data into a table, then create a chat from
that table.

• VIZQL skips those steps and creates a visual representation of your data right away,
giving you visual feedback as you analyse. It runs only in background.
