Accelerate your business with fast analytics and visualization

Tableau Desktop is a software application that enables anyone to analyze any kind of data quickly and easily. With Tableau, you work directly with your data, shifting between views easily and without support from IT. The human brain can process a picture much faster than a table of numbers. The right presentation, using the best practices of information visualization, makes organizing and understanding information simple. Features, trends and outliers show up the way they never do in rows and columns.

Do more with your data

Making intelligent business decisions starts with a clear understanding of relevant information. Tableau gives users unprecedented power to extract actionable insights from raw data in a matter of minutes.

Collaborate and share

Analysis that goes unshared or ignored is often as good as no analysis at all. That occurs too easily when the story is told in numbers, making the story hard to explain. Good visualization lets you tell the story naturally. Colleagues become collaborators the deeper they become involved with the story.



  • See and Understand. Create visual tables of data to reveal relationships, find patterns, and identify outliers. When information is visual, hidden gems stand out clearly.
  • Pivot and Refine. Navigate a series of questions and answers using interactive visual analysis. Look at one factor a time or any number of factors simultaneously.
  • Search and Extract. Filter and zoom into data. Drill down to identify useful clusters of data and pull out exactly the information you need.
  • Investigate and Predict. Make on-the-fly calculations. Compute growth by moving averages, totals and more. Even analyze times series from years to months to seconds.
  • Create Dashboards. Build dashboards that track performance against goals. Combine different databases into a single view. Use live data, so you never have to repeat the same analysis. Link and filter all the displays simultaneously.
  • Publish and Present. Export vivid and beautifully annotated presentations to other applications, including Microsoft Office.
