Beginner? Expert? Either way you stand to learn from this fantastic book
Never underestimate going back to the basics. Iâve been using Tableau for years and still learned a few things in the first few pages.This book is very intelligently written. You are guided very specifically how to use or create something, and the training wheels are slowly taken off without you even noticing because youâre still able to understand how to do it.Get this book. You will not regret it, and if you take the time to follow along with Tableau, you will absorb an incredible amount of critical Tableau knowledge.

This is a thick and gorgeous Tableau cookbook in full color.What I love most about the book is that the author covers pretty much every intermediate to advanced technique. For example, I’ve never seen set or parameter actions covered in a book. And covered well with useful ideas. In the case of parameter action, the author doesn’t try to get fancy, but sticks to applicable business ideas (e.g., parameter action for min/max date range).The topics covered are really wide including “containers”, “padding”, “Nest LODs”, “Lookups”, “Sparklines”, “Set and Parameter Actions”, “Big Numbers”, “MAKELINE()”, “BUFFER()” … totally awesome!OMG, I’ve never seen a row and column divider with (round(sqrt(size())) on page 226.OK, I’m not seeing RegEx. However, while RegEx is cool, it’s also hard and rarely required in my view.If you have some basic Tableau knowledge and want to push your skills to the top 1%, this is your book.Franco

I found Lorna Brown when I was just starting to use Tableau. I needed to know how to model with distance and her YouTube instructional was phenomenal – I refer back to that now.When I learnt that sheâd written a book, I immediately bought it on kindle. Iâve just skimmed through the whole thing and itâs everything Iâd hoped. Whilst it starts easy enough for beginners, chapter 4 onwards starts to deliver some excellent visual solutions and whilst the reader is unaware, Lorna covers some advanced modelling techniques including advanced bullet charts, dynamic scatterplots and such like. Whilst she wizzes through LOD, she also clears up table calcs and window functions, sets, groups and parameters – these three and immensely powerful when used together. Tying these together is Actions – wow.This is a superb addition to my library – thank you Lorna for the effort and time you put into create this and sharing your knowledge with the tableau community. I canât wait to go through each and every page knowing that Iâm going to learn so much more than I do now.I work in the commercial property services and I do have one point by way of feedback which relates to map visualisations. I really wish countries other than the US were used for geographic map solutions. All resources use the US to demonstrate models incorporating maps. I understand the marketing reasons for this but the UK, and other countries are far more difficult due to not having standard 50 state boundaries. Uk Postcodes do not map unless you take off the second part and polygon sets are available from only specialist locations, if at all. I would buy a cookbook on just all things mapping if it were available.Update: Iâve just bought another book, also published by OâReilly and printed in 2021 which addresses all issues and gaps I might have thought existed in Lornaâs book. As a result, I now have a full solution for a professional Tableau developer so thank you again to Lorna and also to Luke Stanke and Ann Jackson.

This book will help you pick up tableau skills regardless of level. I believe it even better then online courses. There are pictures there with explanations that help understand everything and build charts quickly.For me personally, this books showed different ways to do common things, helped to fill blanks in knowledge, taught me a lot of features and still helps me improve my tableau skills. No doubt it worth every quid.
