What do you use to collect the data, if you don't mind me asking?
A good app that we are using is FRC SCOUTING (google play). Basically it stores all the data to a mysql database. You have to setup the database and host it somehow, but once you jump through the initial hurdles there is so much you can do with it. Strictly speaking about tableau, it can directly interface with any mysql database, and allow you to directly interact with and manipulate the data, easily creating graphs. If you guys would like any help or pointers to go in this direction, I am more than happy to help .
