I fully agree with this. I have been using Tableau for a while now and I absolutely LOVE it! We are using it for scouting, data is input into an excel sheet via 6 tablets. Tableau is one amazing tool and the fact that we get 5 FREE seats is so awesome.

If you are an absolute wiz in Excel, ie can write VBA, functions that are miles long, etc with your eyes closed, you will be able to pick up Tableau in a good couple of hours. But I'd definitely not try using it for the first time a week before your competition, but I would encourage you to take your first competition scouting data and playing with it in Tableau to learn its capabilities.
