Table Viz Extension GIF

Table viz extension

Evolve from legacy reporting to visual analytics while meeting your users' current needs. Tables are critical visualisations for analysts that help them inspect data as text and convey details at lower grain. With table viz extensions, you can add detail tables and grid views to dashboards for users who prefer traditional reporting views. Table viz extension will be made available on Tableau Exchange.

Read more about viz extensions.

Spatial Parameters GIF

Spatial parameters

We’re bringing the full Tableau experience to geospatial data with geospatial support for parameters. Spatial parameters create rich, interactive dashboards so users can ask and answer questions about geospatial data. Spatial parameters allow the end user to select individual points, which then get passed as input into calculations enabling dynamic behaviour based on the selection.
