New Feature Highlights
All Features
Mixed content types
Discover a new way to browse on Tableau Server and Tableau Online. You can now view data sources, workbooks, and views from one project all on the same page. And, filter by content type within that project.
Google Ads Connector
Gain deeper insights from your Google Ads data. Connect and analyze your Google ad metrics in Tableau with our new connector.
Export to PowerPoint
Integrate your Tableau dashboards directly into presentations with a single click. Now you can easily export vizzes from Tableau Desktop, Server, or Online to PowerPoint as high resolution images, complete with a link back to the workbook.
Tableau Mobile for Workspace ONE
Organizations are now able to deploy a special version of Tableau Mobile that is compatible with the VMware Workspace ONE Platform, powered by AirWatch technology.
All-new Tableau Mobile for iOS and Android
We're excited to introduce a redesigned version of Tableau Mobile for iOS and Android. The new app brings powerful search, an improved Favorites experience, and interactive offline previews right to your fingertips.
Automatic dashboard phone layouts
Authoring mobile dashboard layouts just got easier. Tableau will now automatically add phone layouts to new dashboards, with ability to further customize them for specific use cases.
Url action improvements
Url actions can now target specific web zones in a dashboard, allowing authors the control to more seamlessly link to information that is hosted outside of their data source. Better integrate and add more meaningful content to your dashboard, and design more sophisticated app-like experiences.
Vector maps
We're bringing a smoother mapping experience to Tableau Online, with vector tile background maps. Maps will look sharper and feel smoother than ever before, as you pan, zoom in, and zoom out to explore your geospatial data. Labels and icons automatically resize and reshape to fit the view, and labels fade in and out smoothly.
Nested sorting improvements
Sorting just got more intuitive. You can now sort within multiple dimensions, making it easy to spot trends in your categorical data.
Dashboard zone names
You now have the ability to assign a name to any item on a dashboard, helping to better organize multiple zones when looking at the layout tree.
Azure SQL Data Warehouse Connector
Connect directly to your data stored in Azure SQL Data Warehouse with our new connector.
Secure RServe connections
Build visualizations using the R statistical language in a secure environment. This allows RServe to be hosted remotely from Tableau Server, and for data to be protected in transit.
New web authoring connectors
Connect directly to your excel and CSV files stored in Dropbox, OneDrive and GoogleDrive when authoring a viz from the browser.
Online Admin Insights
Understand your own site's usage through custom administrative views. And since they are Tableau vizzes, you can customize them to fit your organization's needs.
This feature will be deployed in a rolling basis after the broader 2019.1 launch.
Connect to GBQ in the browser
Gain access to the trove of data in Google BigQuery by connecting to your data directly from the web.
Okta Integration improvements
Better integrate your site with Okta identity management services to streamline user activation and deactivation, the provisioning of groups, and connections to Tableau site roles.
Ask Data
Ask a question, get an answer. Use natural language to ask questions and produce insights directly from any published data source. Ask Data supports many analytical capabilities of Tableau, including sorting, filtering and aggregations.
Ask Data only supports questions asked in English.
