A complete picture of your data

Three panes let you see row-level data, profiles of each column, and your entire data preparation process. Pick which view to interact with based on the task at hand.

Immediate results

If you want to edit a value, you select and directly edit. When you make a change to the flow, you see the update right away. With each action, you instantly see your data change. Tableau Prep gives you the freedom to re-order steps and experiment without consequence.

Smart, so you can work faster

Use smart features to fix common data prep challenges. Tableau Prep employs fuzzy clustering to turn repetitive tasks, like grouping by pronunciation, into one click operations.

Connect to more data

Connect to data on premises or in the cloud, whether it’s a database or a spreadsheet. Access, combine and clean disparate data without writing code. Tableau Prep intelligently pushes operations down to the database when possible, letting you take advantage of existing database investments for fast flow execution performance.
