Does geography influence your business? Is location the focus of your analysis? Nearly everyone looking for insights into data will answer yes to these questions at some point. For many of you, working with spatial data is a daily requirement. For you and the rest of the map geeks out there, Tableau 10.2 includes a native connector to spatial data. This capability will make working with any spatial data much easier while improving the performance of working with custom polygons.
