31. Q: Is in-memory the same as Qlik in Tableau 10?
A: Tableau has in-memory capabilities in the form of Tableau extracts,
which get loaded into memory and store data in a columnar fashion. It is
different than Qlik in that you are not required to load your data into
the Qlik server first. You can connect directly to your data sources.
Q: Can Tableau use a file SAS dataset directly?
A: Yes .sas files can be brought into Tableau directly.
Q: Can I use a .sas7bdat file type in Tableau 10?
A: It looks like this may be possible via ODBC, take a look at this
document for more guidance:
http://kb.tableau.com/articles/knowledgebase/tableau-and-sas-odbc
Q&A TABLEAU 10 WEBINAR
Copyright 2016 Senturus, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
32. Q: Is the metadata reuse available in Tableau 10?
A: Tableau’s metadata still resides at the workbook/file level. You
cannot create or modify it anywhere else, so process and policy are
necessary to govern this area.
Q: Can I can create a presentation template in which I’m able to choose
my own colors?
A: You can assign color palettes to data items and those will get reused
in subsequent worksheets within a workbook. Custom color palettes can
be created and brought into Tableau as well.
Q: Does the cross data source filtering have to match on identical field
names or can this relationship be manually defined?
A: You can manually define this via the “Edit Relationships” dialog.
Q&A TABLEAU 10 WEBINAR

33. Q: Have you noticed any major bugs in Tableau Desktop or Server?
A: Nothing major as of yet!
Q: Can I connect directly to a database and create reports in the front
end?
A: Yes, you can connect to several types of databases and create
reports.
Q: When I publish a workbook to Tableau Server, do I still need to
manually add data sources to the server in Tableau 10?
A: Tableau would publish the data source to the server automatically
before upgrading to 10, unless it was an extract, in which case you will
be redirected to create the extract first. Tableau 10 has a streamlined
process, but so you don’t have to manually add it before upgrading to
10.
Q&A TABLEAU 10 WEBINAR
Copyright 2016 Senturus, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
34. Q: Is there a Tableau 10 forum that I can join to learn more about it?
A: Yes, create a profile at public.tableau.com and you will gain access to
the community and all of its valuable assets.
Q: Does Cognos Analytics v11 have the same features as Tableau 10?
A: Not necessarily, both products have their strengths, so it depends
upon what your needs are within your organization. The nice thing is
that both Tableau and Cognos can coexist nicely. In order for them to
work together, Senturus has created a Connector to allows Tableau
direct access to data in IBM Cognos. To learn more about the Senturus BI
Enterprise Connector for Tableau, visit our website at:
http://www.senturus.com/enterprise-bi-connector-tableau/
Q: How do we connect to the Clarity database using Tableau 10?
A: If there aren’t direct connectors, usually you can find an ODBC
connector.

35. Q: What's the big difference between IBM Cognos Analytics and Tableau?
Can this replace IBM Cognos Analytics?
A: It depends on your organizational needs. To help determine that, you
might find our Enterprise BI Platforms vs Self-Service Analytics Tools
webinar helpful. You can view the recording at:
http://www.senturus.com/resources/enterprise-bi-platforms-vs-self-
service-analytics-tools/
Q: Will Senturus be at the Tableau Conference in Austin in November?
A: Yes, we’ll have a booth and we’re hosting a cocktail party. Join our
reception at Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill, across the street from the
convention center. Get more information and RSVP here:

36. Q: Do I have to do modeling with the database before I can access it
from the front end?
A: Modeling is not required depending on the source. In many cases, you
will need to do data prep so that Tableau can consume the data in an
optimal way.
You might find a couple of our recent webinar recordings about data
prep useful.
• Fuel Analytics with Self-Service Hadoop Data Prep that explains how the
emergence of new self-service data prep solutions for Hadoop are benefiting
organizations: http://www.senturus.com/announcement/fuel-analytics-self-
service-data-prep/
• Data Integration Tool for Both Business and IT Users describes a solution that
both business and IT users will appreciate

37. Q: With the new data blending feature can I join based on multiple
fields? Also, can I join more than two tables together as well?
A: Yes, you can join on multiple fields.
Q: How's the performance in Tableau 10 for combining data from
different servers in a single data source when the data sets are large or
from different databases?
A: It really depends on the overall architecture and applying the right
components in an optimal way. To evaluate the performance, you need
to look at the database architecture, server architecture, the network
performance, and (very importantly) the actual reports that are being
used. Contact us at info@senturu.com and we can help you assess your
situation.
Q&A TABLEAU 10 WEBINAR
Copyright 2016 Senturus, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
38. Q: If we upgrade Tableau Desktop 10, is it necessary to upgrade Tableau
Server to 10 as well?
A: Yes, you will need to upgrade both Tableau Desktop and Server to 10
if you want to publish from Desktop to Server.
Q: Does Tableau 10 use Framework Manager like Cognos Analytics?
A: There is no Framework Manager tool in Tableau. However, it is
possible to use your current Cognos Framework Manager models with the
Senturus Enterprise BI Connector for Tableau. To learn more about the
Senturus BI Enterprise Connector for Tableau, visit our website at:
http://www.senturus.com/enterprise-bi-connector-tableau/
Q: Where can I download this webinar?
A: The webinar recording, presentation deck and this questions log can
