Software functionality

When opening Tableau there is an option to connect existing data. It can be done later on as well. 



When opening a new file this window comes up. 

On the left side of the screen, you will see the data pane with various tabs, including the data and analytics tabs. The largest section of the workspace is dedicated to the view, where data visualizations are displayed. Each sheet can only have one visualization, but they can be combined to create dashboards and stories. Utilize the menu at the top of the workspace to access commands, analysis, and navigation tools. Below that is another toolbar with numerous shortcuts and shelves that store data fields such as pages, filters, columns, and rows. Under the filters shelf, you will find the marks shelf. Similar to Excel, more sheets can be added at the bottom of the page, which can be navigated by using arrows on the status bar. You can also change the view by using the icons located on the bottom right side of the screen.

Big Data  In recent years the amount of data that is being generated increased dramatically making way for big data. Big data refers to data so big that traditional processing tools can not handle such an amount effectively. According to IBM big data can be defined as 'data sets whose size or type is beyond the ability of traditional relational databases to capture, manage and process the data with low latency.' The attributes that define big data are volume, variety, velocity, and variability. Big data became an integral part of many industries. With the usage of the internet and the development of technology more data is being stored. It is due to the Internet of Things, Artificial intelligence, social media or simply mobile devices where data is being constantly collected. Machine learning is a part of artificial intelligence that involves the use of algorithms to enable machines to learn from data and improve their performance over time without being explicitly programmed....
