Mark Twain is often quoted as saying, "Data is like garbage, You'd better know what you are going to do with it before you collect it.". Now Mr. Twain may have never really said it but it's a good quote.

I'm still looking but I'm really impressed with what I'm seeing from some of you. You all have some truly awesome programmers on your teams.
My team is in the same situation. I have heard all about tableau but I'm not really sure what it's capable of. Is it just graphs or is it more? I can do many types of graphs in excel and sheets so I was just curious. Thanks
