Tableau and PowerPivot jenstirrup
This document discusses using Tableau with PowerPivot to create data visualizations. PowerPivot allows for scaling and empowering access to data through its column-oriented data store. Tableau's strengths are in data visualization and ease of use for business users. The key advantage is that business users can analyze their own data in PowerPivot and then visualize it using Tableau's best practices for data visualization without needing IT assistance. The document demonstrates recreating PowerPivot sample visualizations in Tableau to improve upon them.

Editor's Notes
- #4 - fast manipulation of large data sets (often millions of rows)- streamlined integration of data-the ability to effortlessly share your analysisSupport for slicers Takes data from ATOM feedsTakes from OLEDB Source as standard/* Potential issue for desktop version since PowerPivot takes from OLEDB */Highly scaleable
- #5 Low IT Reliance for a business intelligence solutionBest practices inherent in Tableau‘wow’! factor
- #7 Apologise for the PowerPivotchartjunk
- #10 How can we make this look better in Tableau (quite easily!)The sample chart is supposed to show off what PowerPivot can do; however, it fails because it breaks best practices in datavisualisation, which come naturally in Tableau.
- #11 How can we make this look better in Tableau (quite easily!)The sample dashboard is supposed to show off what PowerPivot can do; however, it fails because it breaks best practices in datavisualisation, which come naturally in Tableau.
