We began this chapter with a discussion of data densification, and discovered that there are two types of data densification: domain completion and domain padding. When reviewing these two types of data densification, we learned how to how each can be deployed, when each is useful, and when each can be a problem. Next, we learned how to work with cubes. We discussed the Tableau Online Help articles as well as how to use data-blend and cubes. Finally, we explored big data. We also surveyed MPP and walked through an example of using Tableau to connect to Google BigQuery.
Having competed three chapters of data-centric discussion, we will discuss Table calculations in the next chapter, as well as partitioning and addressing.
