Self-Service Data Preparation
Tableau Prep changes the way traditional data prep is performed in an organization. By providing a visual and direct way to combine, shape, and clean data, Tableau Prep makes it easier for analysts and business users to start their analysis faster.
Tableau Prep consists of two products: Tableau Prep Builder for building your data flows and Tableau Prep Conductor for scheduling, monitoring, and managing flows across the organization.
Tableau Prep Builder
This tool helps you to collate and clean your data, preparing it for analysis. A powerful dashboard allows you to view and interact with your data in various ways and can be tailored to best meet your current needs.
Data can be collected from a wide range of sources, and if you make an edit, then the change is immediately reflected across the board, even if it contains millions of rows of data. The organization is made easier by the use of fuzzy logic features that can, for example, automatically group names that sound similar.
Tableau Prep Conductor
If Tableau Prep Builder helps prepare your data in order to better understand it, Tableau Prep Conductor helps you to manage it. It allows you to automate your flows, so you always have fresh data that is clean and prepped for analysis.
Flows can be monitored to ensure they are running properly, and they can be easily shared over your Tableau environment.
