Tableau
Tableau Desktop is a data visualization software
This visualization software allows for instantaneous insight by transforming data into visually appealing, interactive visualizations called dashboards.
Tableau helps makes your data actionable, faster. Once connected to a data source, you can build, query, display, analyze, filter, sort, group, drill down, drill up, calculate, organize, summarize, and present data in a variety of ways. You can then share your visualizations with your colleagues within UCLA using a web portal called Tableau Server. Please note, since Tableau is a visualization tool, there may be other reporting tools more appropriate for your needs.
