Data to Dashboard with Tableau Public
Data visualization provides us with the ability to absorb information quickly, uncover insights and make more effective and quicker data-informed decisions.
A dashboard is an information management tool that visually tracks, analyzes and displays key metrics and data points to monitor a process, department, or business. It displays values, charts, and graphs and typically provides a central location for businesses to monitor and analyze performance.
