Editorial Reviews

Review

“This book is one of the most practical guides to Tableau development I’ve read. It’s not just about building charts; it’s about designing end-to-end experiences that engage stakeholders, scale across teams, and reflect the real-world constraints of production environments.

Every chapter reflects hands-on expertise, from managing iterative design and aligning with decision-makers to implementing a consistent KPI language and clean design system. If you work in Tableau and care about creating dashboards that don’t just look good—but drive action—this book delivers.”

Mikhail Christiansen, Sr. Tableau Consultant, Founder, and CEO at Swift Insights

“I recently had the privilege of receiving an advanced copy of Joshua Milligan’s latest revision to his acclaimed Learning Tableau book, now in its impressive 6th edition. The initial twelve chapters maintain a consistent foundational structure with previous editions, primarily incorporating updates to reflect the evolving user interface of Tableau. This ensures that readers familiar with earlier versions can easily navigate the core concepts while benefiting from the refreshed visuals and terminology.

For seasoned readers and those seeking to capitalize on Tableau’s cutting-edge capabilities, the most compelling interest will undoubtedly lie within the final six chapters, where Joshua has meticulously integrated substantial new sections that address some of the most impactful additions to the Tableau ecosystem. A significant focus is placed on geospatial exploration, providing readers with an in-depth understanding of how to leverage Tableau’s powerful mapping capabilities. […] the book then rapidly transitions into a fast-moving section dedicated to all the new AI features, including Tableau Pulse and Tableau Agent. This forward-looking segment provides a timely overview of how artificial intelligence is being integrated into Tableau to automate insights, enhance data exploration, and drive more intelligent decision-making, truly positioning this edition at the forefront of data analytics education.

I’d recommend this book for anyone just starting their Tableau journey as it will prove to be a valuable learning tool and reference as they move through their careers in data. Joshua remains a preeminent thought leader in the Tableau Community and this latest revision of Learning Tableau is yet another gift to the Datafam.”

Mark Bradbourne, Principal Solutions Engineer at Tableau

“This was my first time reading Milligan’s work, and I found it to be an incredibly clear and practical guide to Tableau from a content creator perspective. The book does a great job of walking readers through the product—from basic visualisations to more advanced capabilities like Level of Detail expressions, table calculations, Dynamic Zone Visibility, and Tableau Prep.

I was particularly happy with how it introduced Tableau’s latest AI features, including Tableau Pulse and Tableau Agent, in a grounded, user-friendly way, which is helpful for those unfamiliar with Tableau’s evolving AI toolkit.

If I had any critique, it would be that topics like governance, metadata, and deployment options (cloud vs. server) are a bit underrepresented — especially for users that might also be Tableau Admins. But overall, it’s a strong, up-to-date resource for analysts, new users, and those exploring Tableau from other platforms like Power BI.”

Gus Frazer, Senior Analytics Solutions Engineer at Salesforce

“The book truly covers everything Tableau has to offer. From basic to advanced visualisations, from easy to complex calculations, readers will find answers and nicely explained examples for literally everything they might wonder about.”

Steffen Volkerding, 4x Tableau Ambassador

“Joshua Milligan knows Tableau inside and out, and it shows in Learning Tableau 2025. As a Hall of Fame Visionary, he brings years of hands-on experience to every chapter. He does a great job of making complicated topics feel simple and approachable—no fluff, just clear explanations that actually make sense. Whether you’re just starting out or have been using Tableau for years, this book is a great addition to your toolkit.”
