'Before Tableau Prep, to ensure that the final analysis results are accurate and efficient, our team often spend hours arranging and building data sources,' said Gessica Briggs-Sullivan, administrator of Charles Schwab, Inc. Tableau, 'with Tableau Prep now. We can save hours of time. It completely changes the way we look at data and greatly reduces the time it takes to wait between data collection and putting it into practice.
Currently, data preparation is one of the biggest challenges faced by customers. A recent study in the Harvard Business Review shows that people spend 80% of their time on data cleansing and organization, while analyzing data only takes 20% of the time. Most of your data cannot be analyzed directly because these data are not properly formed or come from different sources. However, transforming data into a usable form is a very complicated and time consuming process that often requires specialized skills. Tableau Prep Provides a custom visual experience that simplifies common and complex tasks such as joins, unions, perspectives, and aggregations. This is a drag-and-drop experience without writing code. Users of Tableau Prep can see their data in Changes are in sight. Through these intuitive experiences, customers can achieve the desired results faster and with greater confidence.
Tableau Prep also provides intelligent algorithms to help users automate common data preparation problems. For example, Tableau Prep can use fuzzy clustering analysis to convert repetitive tasks (eg, grouping by utterances or cleaning according to punctuation) into one-click operating.
Tableau Prep integrates directly into Tableau analytics workflows to increase insight acquisition speed. Customers can open their workflows in Tableau Desktop at any time, or easily share them through Tableau Server or Tableau Online. Tableau Prep can also use Tableau Desktop data connectors , Computational Languages, and Permissions and Certifications, so customers can quickly become proficient and collaborate at any point in the analysis process.
Francois Ajenstat, Chief Product Officer at Tableau, said: 'The Tableau Prep will have a profound impact on data preparation, and its depth and intensity will be comparable to Tableau's contribution to analytics and business intelligence. It will have been a very laborious and difficult task. Intuitive and simple operation, more people can analyze faster. Customers often tell us that they like to use Tableau, but if the data does not have a form suitable for analysis, they can hardly deal with complex data preparation. We believe that data preparation and data analysis are two aspects of the same thing and should be deeply integrated; therefore we hope that everyone will be able to prepare data in a fun and easy way and be able to get rid of the limitations of their own technological skills.
