TABLEAU PREP WORKFLOW UPDATE
There isn’t a wide pool of data connectors on Tableau Prep yet, but we can trust that they will regularly update and add new connectors in their next versions.

This is extremely helpful in combining several common names in a column that are listed separately due to a spelling issue or non-standarized naming. Tableau Prep uses a phonetic algorithm to index words using their pronunciation. One of the new WOW features that Tableau Prep provides is their fuzzy matching of similar fields. These calculations follow the language we use for calculated fields in Tableau Desktop – so it’s pretty easy and familiar. You can easily change data types, trim spaces, change cases of string fields, group values, pivot data and also perform calculations. The transformation steps are extensive and very quick to give results. Clicking on a data point will highlight other associated fields in the other columns to give you an idea about the data connection made. This makes it easy for you to distinctly look at data at the record level. Each step in the workflow will immediately show you the results – so that you can validate your process on the fly.Īnother great feature is the visual representation of your data in the Profile pane. One of the features of Tableau prep is that you can see your data transformation in action immediately before running the workflow. Have a look at the interface below in an example that uses Facebook Insight’s Post extracts to transform and combine data for our social media scorecards.Ĭlicking on an element brings up a secondary pane that gives more information on the step and allows the user to customize the step. If you haven’t already used Tableau Prep, you better get on it because it is super intuitive! Keeping in mind Tableau’s minimalistic and user-friendly approach, Tableau Prep brings you a simple and clean interface that already has a familiar feel to it. You can make a workflow under minutes – and it beautifully integrates to your Tableau Desktop for immediate insights. Similar to some of the other ETL tools in the market, Tableau Prep encourages a drag-and-drop approach, with algorithms to automate some of the common challenges.

It enables users to combine, shape and clean their data before loading it into Tableau to make custom dashboards for analysis. Last week, Tableau announced the introduction of Tableau Prep, a new data preparation tool that bridges the gap that existed in Tableau visualization.
