Can time series data be visualized in Tableau? Explain what charts or options can be used if you feel “Yes”.

Answer»

Yes TIME series is possible in Tableau and can be visualized using Line and Area charts. Both the charts can be represented in continuous and discrete format.

We can USE line charts to display time series data in Tableau. We can add the dimensions, create measures and display it based on a time value (e.g. let’s say by year, MONTH, week, day etc.). We can turn on the forecasting feature to see if we can get a feel of the seasonal trend as part of forecasted model. In Analytics pane, there is an option CALLED “Forecast” to be able to see the Forecast. There will be some default period for which it will show the forecasted values.

Using these charts different level of granularity (e.g. monthly, weekly, daily etc.) can be shown. Different forms of aggregation can be PERFORMED.
