Explain Data in Tableau

 

Explain Data:-

Explain Data automatically provides AI-driven explanations for the value of a data point with a single click. 

Based on advanced statistical models, explanations are relevant and integrated, saving analysts’ time and enabling them to uncover insights they may not have found otherwise.

 Explain Data accelerates your exploration. 

 With a single click, Explain Data uses powerful Bayesian methods to surface   statistically significant explanations behind data points.

 Explain Data provides focused, interactive explanations for the specific data   points you are interested in. 

 Because every explanation is a fully-featured Tableau viz, Explain Data   encourages you to stay in your analytical flow as you engage more deeply   with your data.

 Reduce the risk of error.

 Explain Data helps reduce the risk of error from dirty data and human bias by   searching for explanations in   the entire data source, beyond what is shown   in the viz. 

 It's important to understand that explanations are based on models of the   data, and are not causal   explanations.

 While Explain Data can help uncover and describe relationships in your data,   it can't tell you what is   causing  those relationships.

How To Use Explain Data:-

This is a brief overview of how to use Explain Data.
