What makes Tableau so unique and fluid? From the very beginning, Tableau was built around the visual and iterative analytical thought process. VizQL is the process that translates human drag and drops into tuned queries that are returned as pictures, which creates that iterative and effortless conversation that you want to have with your data. No wizards, no templates, no awkwardness. Where does your data want to go today?
Take a look at these "Superstore" works of art and you'll begin to see the untethered ability of Tableau Desktop.

Armed and Dangerous
We in America love our guns. It's part of our past, present and future. We could argue the merits of this thinking till the cows come home, but this obsession with weapons isn't changing in the near future.
This data tells a rather compelling story. America is by far the worlds most prominent country in terms of gun ownership (firearms per 100k capita), however we are not the worlds most dangerous country in term of fatalities by firearms. Also note the steady decline in firearm homicides over time. What's up with that? Are we becoming more civilized (or at a minimum, more tolerant)?
At the end of the day, gun ownership has such deep cultural roots that it'd be impossible to rid it. We are a gun society!

Visual Data Mining
Here’s one that should get you thinking about presenting your data in a very different way.
Using Tableau’s Superstore dataset as the source, each bubble is a product (disaggregated data). Size is sales amount. Color is profit. Each column is a department.
The goal of this view is to provoke interaction. A colleague here at Tableau called it visual data mining and I agree. There is a lot going on in one screen that does truly provide you with a unique view, which could lead to unique insight!
