At Tableau, we love to geek out about social media analytics. But getting started with social data can be challenging, especially because there are so many tools to choose from. If you're a social media marketer, chances are you already have some favorite tools in your toolkit. And many of these probably include data.
We'd like to introduce you to our 15 Social Media Ambassadors!
Part of our Tableau Ambassador program, these folks spend countless hours each week writing helpful blog posts, curating useful resources, and answering people's questions on social media.
We just released Tableau 9.3, and we're pretty excited about the new Union feature. Union helps you combine data that's been split into multiple files. If you work with data spread across multiple tabs or files, think of the time you'll save on prepping your data.
Once you've enjoyed that picture, take a moment to consider the data sources themselves. Before Union, many data sources were doomed to stay apart even though they truly belonged together. We wonder how many Romeo and Juliets there have ever been in the data world—millions, we're betting!
So we put together a handy tool to help you find the perfect match for your data source. Unencumbered by the data-prep issues of old, your data sources can now be together forever.
