Deploying Tableau in your enterprise? Join our Twitter chat to hear from three Tableau community enterprise experts.

Tableau was named a leader for the fifth straight year in the 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant for BI and Analytics. But we couldn’t do it without you, the amazing leaders in our community. So we asked you to share the data leaders who inspire you, day in and day out. And we were blown away by your responses!

What a year it’s been for data viz! All throughout the year, we’ve been amazed by the creativity we’ve seen from you, the Tableau community. Not only have you told a wide range of data stories, but you’ve done so in innovative ways that we never would have imagined.

The release of Tableau 10 was the most community-driven release in Tableau history. From the Tableau 10 Virtual User Group to the Tableau Torch Relay, to Tableau 10 Live, you, our amazing community, have been with us every step of the way. When Tableau 10 launched, we asked you to share the stories of your own Tableau journey. Here are some of your stories and #Tableau10 moments as curated by Tableau Social Media Ambassadors.

There's something special about the number ten. Sure, it's only got one more digit than nine, but that digit makes a world of difference. Tableau 10 is big! It's an exciting milestone for us, and we couldn't have gotten there without you, our incredible community.

At Tableau, we love to geek out about social media analytics. But getting started with social data can be challenging, especially because there are so many tools to choose from. If you’re a social media marketer, chances are you already have some favorite tools in your toolkit. And many of these probably include data.

We just released Tableau 9.3, and we’re pretty excited about the new Union feature. Union helps you combine data that’s been split into multiple files. If you work with data spread across multiple tabs or files, think of the time you’ll save on prepping your data. Once you’ve enjoyed that picture, take a moment to consider the data sources themselves. Before Union, many data sources were doomed to stay apart even though they truly belonged together. We wonder how many Romeo and Juliets there have ever been in the data world—millions, we’re betting! So we put together a handy tool to help you find the perfect match for your data source. Unencumbered by the data-prep issues of old, your data sources can now be together forever.

We'd like to introduce you to our 15 Social Media Ambassadors! Part of our Tableau Ambassador program, these folks spend countless hours each week writing helpful blog posts, curating useful resources, and answering people's questions on social media.

They’re your superheroes when you have viz problems. They’re the ones you call when you’ve got a data connection question. They’re your Tableau support team, and now you can reach them on Twitter.
