Mission to see and understand data Tableau ’ s mission is to enable people to see and understand data and make decisions based on these findings .
“ If you think about what came before business intelligence tools , it was typically rows and columns of numbers so it was hard to identify anomalies or opportunities ,” said Chizlett who cites working with an airline that was mystified why they had an absenteeism problem .
“ We worked with the airline who didn ' t know the problem was with scheduling until they put their data into Tableau . It revealed that the absenteeism was always on a Tuesday because the staff couldn ' t be rostered again until several days later if they ’ d phoned in sick on the Tuesday .
