Here we will see how
to connect with a Data source Like MS Excel:
When we install
Tableau Desktop it provides a Sample Data of a Superstore by default to
practice and Learn Tableau:
That is available in
your tableau folder on following location:
C:\Program
Files\Tableau\Tableau 2020.1\defaults\Datasources\Sample - Superstore.xlsx
We will practice all
the exercise and Learn through this data in this and upcoming posts:
1. Open Tableau Desktop by
clicking on Desktop Icon or from Start Menu.
2. Click on Microsoft Excel from
the left "Connect Pane" -> It will popup the File Explorer.
3. Navigate to the following
location C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau 2020.1\defaults\Datasources and
Choose Sample - Superstore.xlsx and then Click on "Open" Button.
4. It will take you to Datasource screen -> you have successfully connected to Data source
5. Now Choose Any Sheet by double clicking or drag and drop from "Sheets Pane" available on left side
