A worthwhile purchase
Prior to acquiring this book I had done a bit of free video learning on Tableau. But I also like to learn from books and to have a book as a reference, where I can write questions and notes in margin, underline and highlight. There were several things I was looking for in a beginning Tableau book. First, I wanted a good description of Measures versus Dimensions. Second, I wanted a good description of discrete v. continuous values. Third, I wanted a good reference on Level of Detail calculations. Finally, I wanted a thorough treatment of the “actions” features in Tableau. Other things that I appreciate being included in the book is the chapter on calculations and parameters, a discussion of groups versus sets, and an entire chapter on table calculations. I also liked the color version of the book and thought color was quite valuable, especially when distinguishing pill types. As for suggestions, something as seemingly simple as sorting is not completely simple in Tableau, and sorting didn’t even have an index entry. There should also have been index entries on things like the AGG() and ATTR() functions, and there are a number of typographical errors. In summary, this is a great book for people starting off with Tableau and it will serve as a great learning tool and reference.

Accompanying example files do not work
This book is fairly useless without the relevant files. Perhaps this is just a MAC issue (which its not because it is an underlying data file issue) but for the cost of the book PacktPublishing needs to figure this out. I submitted (not an Amazon issue) a help ticket to Packt but to no avail. The effort required to figure out each example on your own doesn't justify the book. Too bad, at least it's in color.
