Meet our Tableau TEN-ured community members!

There's something special about the number ten. Sure, it's only got one more digit than nine, but that digit makes a world of difference. Tableau 10 is big! It's an exciting milestone for us, and we couldn't have gotten there without you, our incredible community.
