Explore all your data has to offer with the power of Tableau Desktop. New features recently released to Desktop include heatmaps, a powerful new mark type, drag-and-drop dashboard navigation buttons, and the ability to visually define what is in a set with set actions. Learn more about our new features below.
Secure RServe connections
Now use R in Tableau with greater security. Transfer data with an SSL/TLS secured connection for RServe integration in Tableau Desktop.
Multiple table storage for extracts
When joining multiple tables results in data redundancy, such as in row level security scenarios where a fact table is joined to an entitlement table, enjoy faster extract creation performance and decreased extract size.
Set actions
Select what values are in a set by directly interacting with marks on a viz. Visually drive calculations and seamlessly achieve multi-faceted comparative analysis like proportional brushing.
ESRI Geodatabase, KML, and TopoJSON support
We now support new spatial file connections to ESRI File Geodatabases and TopoJSON files. We've updated the spatial file connector to support KML files with multiple layers.
Transparent worksheet backgrounds
We are bringing dashboard design to the next level with the ability to give worksheets completely transparent backgrounds. Unleash your creativity to build presentation-ready dashboards that are visually stunning and effectively highlight your analysis. Use with transparent filters, highlighters, and parameters for a consistent look across your entire dashboard.
Heatmap
We’ve brought heatmaps, a powerful new mark type, to Tableau. With one click, turn millions of marks into a meaningful representation of your data. Understand where there are concentrations of points, and identify patterns in seconds—whether on a map or scatterplot.
Dashboard navigation button
Seamlessly navigate between dashboards with new dashboard buttons. A simple drag and drop creates a button that can navigate to a target dashboard, worksheet, or story. Customize the button with an image of your own, or add guiding tooltip text.
Navigation action
We've brought a new action type to Tableau. Easily add navigation between sheets with the navigation action, now available as an option in the actions dialog.
