Tableau vs. Power Pivot Part 7: Basic Dashboards

Today, we will talk about creating dashboards in Tableau vs. creating dashboards in Power Pivot and Power View. To keep things basic, we will create dashboards that consist of a few related charts with some basic linking (filtering) and brushing (highlighting) features. For those of you who are avid readers of this blog, you will note that we do not recommend these types of dashboards. They are much less useful than they could be. However, they are what the vast majority of business users tend to create. As usual, we will use the Superstore Sales sample data set from Tableau.
