Summary

We began this chapter by exploring various screen capture tools as well as Tableau’s native export capabilities. Next, we turned our consideration to PowerPoint, where we explored various methods for creating PowerPoint presentations from Tableau workbooks, and even explored how to embed a live instance of Tableau into PowerPoint. Next, we considered Tableau animation. Lastly, we explored how to use story points and dashboards for presentations. In Chapter 11, Designing Dashboards and Best Practices for Visualizations, we will turn our attention to dashboarding, where we will push beyond the normal boundaries of the typical dashboard, but not lose focus of the practical applications.
