EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The project “Study and Analysis of Tableau/power BI Tool” proves its importance in the
current scenario of people and company to be more data driven. As the market-leading choice
formodern business intelligence, Tableau analytics platform makes it easier for people to
explore and manage data, and faster to discover and share insights that can change businesses
and the world. Everything we do is driven by this mission to help people see and understand
data, which is why our products are designed to put the user first— whether they’re an
analyst, data scientist, student, teacher, executive, or business user. From connection through
collaboration, Tableau is the most powerful, secure, and flexible end-to-end analytics
platform. The great thing about Tableau software is that it doesn’t require any technical or
any kind of programming skills to operate. The tool has garnered interest among the people
from all sectors such as business, researchers, different industries, etc.
People have a hard time getting much useful information from raw data until theyperform
some sort of data analysis on the numbers. In the past, it was fairly common to simply do
some magic and produce numbers that summarized the data and call the job complete.
Today, executives expect their staff to go well beyond simply producing reports that
summarize data numerically. People want insightful graphical representationsthat make it
easier to understand the results of the data analysis
Secondary objectives:
Preparation of detail report of Tableau tool.
Analyze and interpret visualization types in Tableau tool
Future Modification in Tableau software.
The study has been done by analyzing tool from various aspects like Architecture, Types
of Connections and Files, Types of charts and interpreting based on same. Discussion and
official documentation as a primary data collection source. And Books, Reports are used
as a secondary data collection source.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction to Topic:
Tableau is a visual analytics platform transforming the way we use data to solve
problems—empowering people and organizations to make the most of their data.
Tableau is a powerful and fastest growing data visualization tool used in the Business
Intelligence Industry. It helps in simplifying raw data in a very easily understandable
format. Tableau helps create the data that can be understood by professionals at any level
in an organization. It also allows non-technical users to create customized dashboards.
Data analysis is very fast with Tableau tool and the visualizations created are in the form
of dashboards and worksheets.
Data Blending
Real time analysis
Collaboration of data
The great thing about Tableau software is that it doesn’t require any technical or any kind
of programming skills to operate. The tool has garnered interest among the people from all
sectors such as business, researchers, different industries, etc.
Tableau Desktop
Tableau Public
Tableau Online
Tableau Server
Tableau Reader
For a clear understanding, data analytics in Tableau tool can be classified into two section.
1. Developer Tools: The Tableau tools that are used for development such as the
creation of dashboards, charts, report generation, visualization fall into this
category. The Tableau products, under this category, are the Tableau Desktop and
the Tableau Public.
2. Sharing Tools: As the name suggests, the purpose of these Tableau products is
sharing the visualizations, reports, dashboards that were created using the
developer tools. Products that fall into this category are Tableau Online, Server,
and Reader.
For live data analysis, Tableau Desktop provides connectivity to Data Warehouse, as well
as other various types of files. The workbooks and the dashboards created here can be
either shared locally or publicly.
Based on the connectivity to the data sources and publishing option, Tableau Desktop is
classified into
Tableau Public
It is Tableau version specially build for the cost-effective users. By the word “Public,” it
means that the workbooks created cannot be saved locally; in turn, it should be saved to
the Tableau’s public cloud which can be viewed and accessed by anyone.
There is no privacy to the files saved to the cloud since anyone can download and access
the same. This version is the best for the individuals who want to learn Tableau and for the
ones who want to share their data with the general public.
Tableau Server
The software is specifically used to share the workbooks, visualizations that are created
in the Tableau Desktop application across the organization. To share dashboards in the
Tableau Server, you must first publish your work in the Tableau Desktop. Once the work
has been uploaded to the server, it will be accessible only to the licensed users.
However, It’s not necessary that the licensed users need to have the Tableau Server
installed on their machine. They just require the login credentials with which they can
check reports via a web browser. The security is high in Tableau server, and it is much
suited for quick and effective sharing of data in an organization.
The admin of the organization will always have full control over the server. The hardware
and the software are maintained by the organization.
Tableau Online
As the name suggests, it is an online sharing tool of Tableau. Its functionalities are similar
to Tableau Server, but the data is stored on servers hosted in the cloud which are maintained
by the Tableau group.
There is no storage limit on the data that can be published in the Tableau Online. Tableau
Online creates a direct link to over 40 data sources that are hosted in the cloud such as the
MySQL, Hive, Amazon Aurora, Spark SQL and many more.
To publish, both Tableau Online and Server require the workbooks created by Tableau
Desktop. Data that is streamed from the web applications say Google Analytics,
Salesforce.com are also supported by Tableau Server and Tableau Online.
Tableau Reader
Tableau Reader is a free tool which allows you to view the workbooks and visualizations
created using Tableau Desktop or Tableau Public. The data can be filtered but editing and
modifications are restricted. The security level is zero in Tableau Reader as anyone who
gets the workbook can view it using Tableau Reader.
Tableau connects and extracts the data stored in various places. It can pull data from any
platform imaginable. A simple database such as an excel, pdf, to a complex database like
Oracle, a database in the cloud such as Amazon webs services, Microsoft Azure SQL
database, Google Cloud SQL and various other data sources can be extracted by Tableau.
When Tableau is launched, ready data connectors are available which allows you to
connect to any database. Depending on the version of Tableau that you have purchased the
number of data connectors supported by Tableau will vary.
The pulled data can be either connected live or extracted to the Tableau’s data engine,
Tableau Desktop. This is where the Data analyst, data engineer work with the data that
was pulled up and develop visualizations. The created dashboards are shared with the users
as a static file. The users who receive the dashboards views the file using Tableau Reader.
The data from the Tableau Desktop can be published to the Tableau server. This is an
enterprise platform where collaboration, distribution, governance, security model,
automation features are supported. With the Tableau server, the end users have a better
experience in accessing the files from all locations be it a desktop, mobile or email.

Summer project is an integral part of any MBA degree which gives an exposure to the
student to gain knowledge about the corporate and practical world. Pace Analytics
provided me the platform to work on my area of interest with them and with their guidance,
I tried firm my grip on Visualization tools.
Pace Analytics is well reputed company, which also provides live projects to work on soI
choose this company for my internship. Almost all companies rely on data visualization
tools and data related study to take important decision organization. So because of interest
in this topic I choose this topic for my summer internship.
Thus, working in such a well known reputed and high ambitious organization would
definitely help me in acquiring various managerial skills and knowledge related to software
analysis, development and managerial functions, organizational environment and
communication techniques of the corporate relations.
People have a hard time getting much useful information from raw data until theyperform

Before you can begin using Tableau, you’ll have to pay a visit to the Tableau Software
website and download the current version of the software. You’ll need to register first,
but you don’t need to supply a credit card number, so don’t worry about getting billed.
The trial version of Tableau that you download will work for 14 days, so you’ll want to
make sure that you have some free time in your schedule to try out the application during
that trial period. You probably don’t want to begin your trial just before you leave for a
relaxing vacation.
After the download has completed, you can install the trial immediately or wait until later.
If you don’t want to install the software right now, be sure to remember where you saved
the file. If you do want to install the trial now, follow these steps:
1. Click the Run button in the dialog box that appears in order to begin the installation
process.
If you don’t install the trial immediately, locate the saved file later and run it to begin the
installation.
2. Read the license agreement and then select the check box to indicate that you’ve read
and agree with the terms.
You won’t be able to install the software unless you select this check box.

CHAPTER IV
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
4.1 Tableau Architecture
Tableau has a highly scalable, n-tier client-server architecture that serves mobile clients,
web clients, and desktop-installed software. Tableau Desktop is the authoring and
publishing tool that is used to create shared views on Tableau Server. Tableau
Server is an enterprise-class business analytics platform to level up thousandsof clients.
Tableau Server presents powerful mobile and browser-based analytics and workings
among a company’s presented data strategy and security protocols.
With the right training in Tableau, you can make a good career in BI and get the best BI
jobs in top companies.
The following diagram shows the Tableau Server’s architecture:
17
Data Layer
One of the basic characteristics of Tableau is to supports your choice of data architecture.
It does not need your data to be stocked in any single system, proprietary or otherwise.
Nearly all organizations have a heterogeneous data environment, data warehouses live
alongside databases and Cubes, and flat files like Excel are still very much in use. You do
not have to get the entire data in memory until you choose to. If your existing data platforms
are fast and scalable, then it permits you to straightly control your investment by utilizing
the power of the database to respond to problems. If this is not the case, thenit provides
simple options to improve your data to be fast and responsive with our fast in-memory Data
Engine.
Data Connectors
It consists of a number of optimized data connectors for databases. There are alsocommon
ODBC connectors designed for any system without a native connector. It offers two modes
in support of interacting with data: Live connection or In-memory. Clients can switch
between alive and in-memory connections as they desire.
Live Connection
18
leaves the detailed data in the source system and sends the aggregate outcomes of the query
to Tableau. In addition, this means that Tableau can effectively utilize unlimited amounts
of data – in fact, Tableau is the front-end analytics client to several of the largestdatabases
in the world. It has optimized every connector to receive the advantage of the unique
characteristics of every data source.
In-Memory
It presents a fast, in-memory Data Engine to optimize for analytics. You can connect to
your data and after that, with one click, extract your data to get it in-memory in Tableau.
Tableau’s Data Engine fully consumes your entire system to attain fast queries answers on
millions of rows of data on commodity hardware. Since the Data Engine can use disk
storage as well as RAM and cache memory, it is not confined to the quantity of memory
on a system. This is not essential that an entire data set be loaded into memory to attain its
performance objectives.
Application Server
It processes (wgserver.exe) hold browsing and permissions for the Tableau Server web and
mobile interfaces. When a user opens a view in a client device, that user begins a session
on Tableau Server. Then the Application Server thread begins and verifies the permissions
for that user and that view.
VizQL Server
If a view is released, the client sends a request to the VizQL process (vizqlserver.exe). The
VizQL process then sends queries directly to the data source, returning a result set that is
rendered as images and presented to the user. Each VizQL Server has its owncache
that can be shared across multiple users.
Data Server
Tableau Data Server allows you centrally control and store Tableau data sources. It
also manages metadata from Tableau Desktop, like calculations, definitions, and groups.
The published data source can be founded on:
Backgrounder
The backgrounder refreshes scheduled extracts and manages other background tasks.
Gateway/ Load Balancer
19
It is the primary Tableau Server that trails requests to other components. Requests which
come in from the client firstly strike the gateway server and are then routed to the
appropriate procedures. If multiple procedures are configured for any component, the
Gateway will work as a load balancer and share the requests with the procedures. In a
single-server configuration, every procedure sits on the Gateway, or primary server. When
running in a distributed atmosphere, one physical machine is designated as the primary
server and the others are designated as worker servers which can run any numberof other
procedures. Tableau Server always uses only one machine as the primary server.
It offers interactive dashboards toward clients using zero-footprint HTML and JavaScript
(AJAX) in a web browser, or natively through a mobile app. No plug-ins or helper
applications are necessary. Tableau Server supports:
Clients (Tableau Desktop): Tableau Desktop is the rapid-fire authoring environment used
to generate and publish sights, reports, and dashboards to Tableau Server. Using this, a
report author can tie with multiple data sources, explore relationships, create dashboards,
modify metadata, and finally issue a completed workbook or data source to Tableau Server.
It also opens any workbooks issued on Tableau Server or connects to anypublished data
sources, whether issued as an extract or a live connection.
The first thing to understand is how to open and close the application.
Open Tableau
There are several ways to open Tableau from your computer. Firstly
you have to open the application by doing one of the following:
Double-click the Tableau icon lying on your computer. After that Select Start >
All Programs > Tableau.
20
Close Tableau
When you are complete working in Tableau then you should save your task and close the
application.
To close the application follows these steps:
Click the Close icon located in the right corner of the application title bar. After
that Select File > Exit. If your workbook has not been saved, you will be asked
whether you want to save it.
Let's see how you can connect to a file, using Excel as an example:
1. In a new instance of Tableau, navige to Data | New Data Source | Excel to connect to the
sample Superstore dataset that installs with Tableau Desktop (it should be located on your
hard drive under My Tableau Repository | Data sources).
2. Double-click on the Orders sheet.
3. Click on the New Worksheet tab, as shown in Figure 1.25:
4. Rename the newly created tab to First Worksheet by right-clicking and selecting
Rename.
5. Place Discount on the Text shelf in the Marks card.
6. Double-click on Profit and Sales:
22
decimal points when displaying currency; that policy will be easily adhered to if all Tableau
authors start building workbooks by pointing to data sources where all formatting has been
predefined.
24
CHAPTER V
DATA ANALYSIS
Step 1: Open a blank/new sheet in a Tableau workbook with your dataset uploaded. We
select one dimension field; Sub-category and two measure fields; Profit and Sales from the
list of fields. Then, we select the bullet graph option from the visualization pane. Click on
Show Me option to access the visualization pane.
Step 2: Now, we will get a bullet chart which will have bars with grey lines in the background
and blue lines on top of that. The grey lines are known as reference lines and the blue ones
are the actual lines. So, from our two selected measures, one will become the reference line
25
and another will become the main line (blue). The reference line field isthe one that is shown
on the Detail card of the Marks section.
Step 3: Next, we set the aggregation type for our line. We select it as Average. You can
also set the bar type, scope, line, label, tooltip, formatting of the bars and lines, etc from
the editing box in tableau. To access this editing box, right-click on the x-axis and select
the Edit Figure 6.1.1.5: Create Bullet graph step Figure 6.1.1.5: Create Bullet graph step
Figure 6.1.1.5: Create Bullet graph step Figure 6.1.1.5: Create Bullet graph step Figure
6.1.1.5: Create Bullet graph step Figure 6.1.1.5: Create Bullet graph step Axis option.
26
Edit Reference Line option. Then, we select 50%,80% of the Average Profit.This opens a
dialog box from where you can edit and format the computations of the reference line.
By selecting the percent average option, the reference line divides itself into three
segments. When you hover the cursor over the reference line, you will first see a 50% of
Average Profit mark with the value.
Step 5: Thus, our final bullet chart showing sales and profit values for each electronics
sub-category or brand is ready. When you hover over any of the individual bars, you will
get more information regarding it such as sub-category name, total profit value for the sub-
category and total sales for the sub-category.
27
28
Now, you will have all the selected fields in the Marks section. You can drag and drop
fields from dimensions or measures section to the Label card to add labels on the pie chart.
As you can see in the screenshot below, we added a field named Sub- Category into the pie
chart. This adds the names of all the brands or subcategory items on each segment of the
pie.
You can similarly add details and colors for the pie chart.
29
Tableau gives us a lot of formatting options for the pie chart as well. You can make a pie
chart look just as you like from the Format option. To access the formatting options, right-
click on the pie chart and select Format.. option.
In this way, our pie chart representing the total sales of each subcategory or electronic
brand is ready. You can hover your cursor over different colored sections of the pie and
see details specific to it.
30
Given below is another pie chart showing category as well as region-wise sales of an
electronic store. Please note that while creating pie charts, we suggest that you always use
broad categories rather than densely segmented categories.
For instance, you can analyze your pie chart better if you use the Category field than the
Sub-category field as there will be lesser category types than subcategory types. This does
not clutter the pie chart much and divides it into proper segments for us to analyze.
31
ii. Drop Sales, to make a dual-axis read. it is a bit exhausting to envision that there area
unit 2 instances of the Sales bars at now, as a result of they’re organized identically.
iii. Select SUM(Sales) (2) on the Marks card, and alter the mark kind of Line.
32
viii. Click the X in the upper-right corner of the Table Calculations panel to shut it.
ix. Click color the Marks card to vary the color of the road.

CHAPTER VII
FINDINGS & SUGGESIONS
The solution’s practicality isn’t restricted by the graphics data representation; there’s
additionally a heap of labor beneath the surface. Indeed, the appliance makes requests to
the cloud and relative databases, spreadsheets and OLAP cubes for the specified applied
mathematics knowledge, and so parses, categorizes and correlates it to come up with a
comprehensive analytical report.
If your company seeks to enhance analytics and find the foremost out of what knowledge
rendition offers, you want to have your sights assail Tableau knowledge image software
system. However, before being loving its exceptional visualizing capabilities, check the
solution’s limitations as they pertain to your business.
a. Advantages of Tableau
Although Tableau’s key advantage of the last word quality visual image of interactive
information overshadows all alternative blessings, the list of tableau package edges the
tool brings to businesses is sort of long.
36
vendors, like Oracle information visual image or IBM’s merchandise for information
rendition, cannot vie with the illustration and style quality that Tableau provides.
It converts unstructured applied mathematics info into comprehensive logical results, that
square measure totally practical, interactive and appealing dashboards. {they square
measure|they’re} obtainable in many styles of graphics and are straightforward to use in
business affairs.
Lay users will fancy the capabilities that Tableau offers for stats parsing, like dashboard
development, etc., while not in-depth coaching. However, to induce into the solution’s
capabilities, deeper information could be a should. Also, the shut involvement of IT
specialists could be a necessity if a corporation seeks to expand the solution’s practicality.
vi. Mobile-Friendly
There is a mobile app obtainable for IOS and automation, that adds quality to Tableau users
and permits them to stay statistics at their fingertips. The app supports full practicality that
a Desktop and online versions have.
37
b. Disadvantages of Tableau
Despite its superior visualizing and coming up with capabilities and its alternative
blessings. The Tableau package includes a variety of shortcomings that ought to be taken
into thought.
I. High Cost
Tableau isn’t the foremost expensive visual image package, particularly compared to such
business intelligence giants as Oracle’s and IBM’s solutions. All identical, the license is
sort of expensive for many little to medium corporations.
Tableau’s sales team isn’t versatile enough to produce an independent approach for his or
her customers. Ignoring the actual fact that every company has its own distinctive needs
to the visual image tool package, the Tableau sales model needs purchasers to get the
extended license from the beginning.
As a result, plenty of corporations that use Tableau hit the conclusion that they don’t would
like all their authorized options. they might like shopping for a collection of needed ones
and scale them if necessary.
III. Poor After-Sales Support
On multiple message boards, users complain that Tableau package lacks correct after- sales
maintenance. If a client includes a package performance downside, the support teamdoesn’t
settle the matter by investigation the problem’s root and eliminating it. the most
