You can use it to collect, process and create useful insights from your data. Tableau Software is among many other business intelligence tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tableau software has several products you can use, such as Tableau Online, Tableau Public, Tableau Server, Tableau Cloud, Tableau Desktop, and Tableau Prep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this data visualisation tutorial, we will use Tableau Public. This is the free version of Tableau Desktop. You only need to create a personal account where you can share your workbooks and dashboard with the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-advgb-summary advgb-toc alignnone\"><li class=\"toc-level-1\"><a href=\"#how-to-connect-to-your-data-source-be0b66b7-563c-4494-9199-82a961d9240d\">How to connect to your data source<\/a><\/li><li class=\"toc-level-1\"><a href=\"#how-to-create-tableau-worksheets-49ec5216-a558-49bc-a0ad-b1daae6ead66\">How to create Tableau worksheets<\/a><\/li><li class=\"toc-level-1\"><a href=\"#how-to-create-a-tableau-dashboard-f6e36545-79fd-43b4-a278-fd29c8ddc5a8\">How to create a Tableau dashboard<\/a><\/li><li class=\"toc-level-1\"><a href=\"#how-to-add-filters-to-your-dashboard-00b23fad-cb3d-4ea2-ab6d-7295ac0a67e6\">How to add filters to your dashboard<\/a><\/li><li class=\"toc-level-1\"><a href=\"#how-to-save-publish-and-share-your-tableau-dashboard-8340ac98-6f03-48bb-82f0-e9432aa0351a\">How to save, publish and share your Tableau dashboard<\/a><\/li><li class=\"toc-level-1\"><a href=\"#faqs-a59bbc3b-ef87-4b0b-87f6-186ab3906aab\">FAQs<\/a><\/li><li class=\"toc-level-2\"><a href=\"#how-do-i-share-tableau-dashboards-with-nontableau-users-9b1ba9e1-2f0c-4ec6-9119-1f7247f303e6\">How do I share Tableau dashboards with non-Tableau users?<\/a><\/li><li class=\"toc-level-2\"><a href=\"#how-do-i-give-others-access-to-edit-my-tableau-dashboards-1173f7aa-06bb-4d9c-8c1b-b52845b1ab21\">How do I give others access to edit my Tableau dashboards?<\/a><\/li><li class=\"toc-level-2\"><a href=\"#can-i-embed-my-tableau-public-dashboard-into-a-website-d5dd3207-ef4f-4d75-b17c-e61cbd8ca0c1\">Can I embed my Tableau Public dashboard into a website?<\/a><\/li><li class=\"toc-level-2\"><a href=\"#what-are-the-limitations-of-tableau-public-07a28296-3e88-4ed6-944b-dafadc8309c3\">What are the limitations of Tableau Public?<\/a><\/li><li class=\"toc-level-1\"><a href=\"#conclusion-4b9436ac-f406-4de4-8b78-91e6e5914620\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Download Tableau Public from their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tableau.com\/products\/public\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-connect-to-your-data-source-be0b66b7-563c-4494-9199-82a961d9240d\"><strong>How to connect to your data source<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you open a new Tableau Public file known as a book, a pop-up window prompts you to connect to a data source, as shown in the screenshot below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"520\" height=\"670\" src=\"https:\/\/resourcefulscholarshub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Tableau1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1275\" style=\"width:260px;height:335px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourcefulscholarshub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Tableau1.png 520w, https:\/\/resourcefulscholarshub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Tableau1-233x300.png 233w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main screen shows different options for connecting to a data source.
