What is Tableau?

Tableau is an American interactive data visualization software company focused on business intelligence.  In 2019 the company was acquired by Salesforce. Tableau products query relational databases, online analytical processing cubes, cloud databases and spreadsheets to generate graph-type data visualizations. The software can also extract, store, and retrieve data from an in-memory data engine.
