Data Model

To help users understand their data, first Tableau needs to understand it. Tableau’s Data Modeling tools let the users describe the various sources of their data and how they relate to each other. Tableau uses this information to build expressive, efficient queries that retrieve the users’ data to produce the visualizations that answer their questions.

On the Data Modeling team we are building these capabilities into Tableau, and we need your help to make it happen!
