When a free, popular, and open source language combines with an advanced data visualization tool it creates a dream team combination for developing interactive visual analytics. R provides a powerful way to perform statistical analysis on big data sets. Being an open source technology, you can create new packages and functions anytime.
R models and functions can be used in combination with Tableau by developing new calculated fields to pass values to R. The results are then returned back to Tableau for further usage by the Tableau visualization engine. This ultimate combination of R with Tableau supercharges data with visual analytics. It helps anyone quickly analyze, visualize and share information. People use this ultimate combination at their workplace or even on the go on their mobile devices.
