Data visualization is the graphical representation of information and data by using charts, graphs, and other visualization tools. Data visualization helps facilitate understanding of your data as well as data trends, patterns, and outliers. Tableau is a secure, and flexible end-to-end analytics platform for your data. Use it to see and understand your data, connect to almost any database, drag and drop to create visuals, and share with a click.
