Great resource for learning Tableau and Data Visualization and Communication
“Communicating Data with Tableau” is a truly unique resource for getting started with the field of Data Visualization and using Tableau. In only a few short chapters you are up and running with an understanding of visualization best practices as well as practical step by step instructions to how to use Tableau software to create them quickly and easily.While most “how to” books focus on just walking through features, this one explores data communication concepts, such as the conveying “How Much and How Many”, “Proportions and Percentages”, and “Changes Over Time”. You are led through real world examples using the accompanying downloadable data sets. The examples are engaging, using data from various topics such as baseball, hurricanes and internet usage data. In addition to the extremly easy to follow instructions, the reasons behind why the visualizations were created using specific chart types and tool features is discussed. This approach makes each lesson entertaining and informative, and helps you maximize your understanding of how to communicate with data effectively.The later chapters focus on creating impactful, informative, and interactive dashboards using advanced techniques and formatting. The easy to follow instructions will arm you with the ability to tell amazing data stories in just a few clicks.

A mind opener
Great book that goes over some non usual scenarios and helps open your mind on what you can achieve with Tableau. Money well spent.

Must read and an amazing collection for your data library!!
If you are new to Tableau or have been using it for some time now, this book is good for you. It is an easy read and hones in on the fundamentals of Data Analysis and Data Visualization in each chapter. Ben Jones has done an amazing job in writing this book and it lives up to Tableau’s mission ‘Help people to see and understand data” better.Author has given ample tips and tricks with variety of data sets to follow along with the book. Right from the first chapter, readers will get an opportunity to start slow and gradually progressed into later chapters to cover some complex graphs.

Makes you Proficient in Tableau, and Informed on Data Visualization
A great blend of visualization theory, and practical instruction on the use of Tableau. For best results, get your self a copy of Tableau Public, set aside some time each day (or a couple-few days a week) with Tableau running and the book by your side. Work along in Tableau as the book prompts you. You’ll be amazed at what you’ll know and what you’ll be able to do by the time you’re done.

This book is great for starters
This book is great for starters, but a little bit on the simple side for people who already know the basics.I wish it can have more advanced and visually pleasant dashboard building guide. If anyone knows any books or classes related with advanced Tableau dashboard building, please let me know.Thanks!

Good examples and hands-on lessons, but a couple of serious short comings.
Communicating Data with Tableau is a solid training book with many practical examples using public data sources. But, I have to apprise customers of two faults with this book.Firstly, the screenshots of the Tableau worksheets used as examples in the book are very small and it is difficult to read them as they are grainy…titles and formulas cannot be read because of pixilation, yet in some examples, the information is available no where else but the screenshot.Secondly, the Chapter 9 hands-on exercise about U.S. Presidents terms and life spans is incorrect. There is an error in the dual axis GANTT chart. Axis 1 for terms is correct in showing two separate presidential terms for Cleveland, separated by the Harrison administration. However, Axis 2, which shows the life span of the presidents, gives Grover Cleveland a life span of 52,060 days. Cleveland was born March, 1837 and died June, 1908 at the age of 71. But according to this book, Grover Cleveland was 142 years old when he died.

This is the text that delivered the solutions that I apply every day in visualising survey data for clients. Ben deals with the two big issues for survey data (uncertainty and variation) superbly. The text is clearly written with step by step instructions that work and the supporting worksheets increase the value of text many times over. Highly recommended. (Tableau user 3+ years)

Beautifully well written for beginners, (but deals with version 8.1, now it is 9) even then it teaches the fundamental concepts very well, I fully recommend this book

Tableau tiene el suficiente grado de complejidad como para asimilar su funcionamiento, y este libro parece cumplir con ello. No obstante, se echa a faltar bibliografÃa en castellano.
