After loading, you can perform data cleansing, data segmentation, data processing, and feature extraction.

Then you can arrange the datasets into bar graphs, line charts or area charts to visualize data.

Using the calculated fields option in Tableau, you can compare and easily enhance your data.

  • Have simple labelling and clear typography

While you get all directions on the Tableau dashboard, it is important to remember that:

1. An effective data strategy drives better performance

Based on the analysis, minimize the number of fields. Hide all unused fields and remove unused columns.

Optimize extracts for faster future queries.

2. Reduce the data points in your view

Excessive marks or data points can lower the visual analytics value. They can cause information overload and make it tougher to see and understand your data.
