This Edureka PPT on "Data Blending in Tableau" talks about a method for combining data when there is related data in multiple data sources, which you want to analyze together in a single view. Tableau has two inbuilt data sources named Sample-superstore and Sample coffee chain.mdb which will be used to illustrate data blending.
We shall discuss the following topics:
Objective of data blending
Introduction to Data Blending
Joining vs Blending
