Introduction

Tableau Public is a cloud based visualization tool which is currently majorly used by bloggers, journalists etc. It is the latest offering from Tableau SoftwareTM, which is a cloud based Business Intelligence platform. It allows users to share data visualizations interactive charts, graphs, maps and the like, on the web. It also allows results to be shared by social networking and other websites

Features

It has access to files in Excel/Access format as well as different text file formats. Tableau Desktop Public Edition is a Windows software only. The data will be stored in TableauServers and not on personal computers, and any changes done will have to be done online. It can also publish data to your iPad in addition to the web, which makes data analysis more social and a mobile experience.

Advantages

It is possible to link different views of the data and let the user select the subset of data he is interested in. Unlike few other visualization tools like Protovis, it doesnt need the user to know programming. It offers powerful tools in filtering and selecting data which offer flexibility to the user in creating effective views of the data. The Show me tool box- When the dimensions and measures of interest are selected ,Tableau suggests visualizations that best suit the data.

Disadvantages

It has to store data in a third party host, TableauServer. Therefore during high traffic, it gets slow (Since everything is done in a browser). It can work up to only 50MB of data. It cannot show completely custom views.

Data Sources
