Abstract: Exploratory data analysis (EDA), data visualization, and visual analytics are essential for understanding and analyzing complex datasets. In this project, we explored these techniques and their applications in data analytics. The case discusses Tableau, a powerful data visualization tool, and Google BigQuery, a cloud-based data warehouse that enables users to store, query, and analyze large datasets. It also explored the benefits and applications of both tools and their integration with other platforms and services. The project offers an introductory insight into Tableau's functionalities, employing a data file from the US Census Bureau via Google BigQuery.
