“

- The most fun part of working with Tableau is building all those cool, interactive dashboards. However, the really frustrating part and the thing that takes me most of the time is getting the data in a clean enough shape to do that easily. It's really frustrating when all you want to do is build cool stuff, and you have to spend all your time messing around with dirty data. Thankfully, Prep is here to help. How many times have you ever had a messy data set and wished that you could just clean it with soap and water? With Prep, you can. Prep will let you clean, simplify, pivot, and just change your data so that all you have to do is input it into Tableau Desktop and away you go. I can't wait to show you all the exciting stuff that Prep is going to let you do quicker, faster, and more efficiently. My name is Matt Francis, and I'm going to be your guide through Tableau Prep. So what are you waiting for? Let's get started.
