Tableau Speed and Performance

Summary

Optimize Tableau Desktop performance and learn how to build fast, scalable, and user-friendly reports and dashboards.

Looking to improve the speed and performance of your Tableau dashboards? In this course, you’ll play the role of a business intelligence analyst at a bicycle sharing company based in New York City. You’ve inherited a Tableau dashboard containing three years of accident data, but it’s so slow that it’s practically unusable. Your mission? Use the optimization tools and techniques covered in this course to make the dashboard fast, scalable, and user-friendly. Start with a review of Tableau’s performance evaluation tools, then dive into four key optimization areas, including data design, filters, calculations, and layouts and visuals. Learn how to record and interpret query performance, understand exactly how Tableau processing and rendering actually works, and review common event types and their impact on speed and usability. Explore pros and cons of various data modeling techniques and connection types, best practices for filter optimization, pro tips to help you write efficient calculations, and much more. Note: This course was created by Dustin Cabral and Maven Analytics. We are pleased to host this training in our library.
