You can use Tableau visualizations to display insights that have been discovered in
the data.
When you connect to a 1010data table or a custom SQL query in Tableau, a series of
dimensions (usually categories of data) and measures (usually quantitative data) are
dynamically discovered from its metadata. You can then create data visualizations from this
data. When you choose a particular visualization type in Tableau, Tableau tells you how
many dimensions and measures are required for the visualization. For example, a pie chart
visualization requires 1 or more dimensions and 1 or 2 measures. You can also drag and drop
the data you are interested in, and Tableau will present the data using the most
appropriate visualization.The following example shows how to create a simple bar graph
showing total sales by day for a single store for the year 2019.
To create a
simple data visualization:
-
Connect to 1010data from Tableau.
If you have already connected to 1010data, select it from the
To a
Server list.

If your connection is successful, you will see your connection in the
Data Source tab of the Tableau
