Excelerate is an automated process that transforms Excel worksheets into a relational database like Access or SQL Server to enable analysis of Excel data in Tableau. It solves issues like having data across multiple Excel files and transforms the data to add dimensions and remove calculations and totals. This unlocks Excel data for broader, richer analysis in Tableau while saving time and reducing errors compared to manual processes. VIA consultants define the necessary transformations which Excelerate then applies to load the data into a database for analysis in Tableau.
