Users of the free iPad tool can simply pinch, swipe and drag their data in interactive graphs. Vizable provides a good touch-optimized experience, but it has a limited set of features and a different audience from\u00a0Tableau Mobile.<\/p>\n<p>Vizable\u00a0paints pictures of information trends and relationships, much like the multiplatform Tableau Mobile, but this app\u00a0was specifically designed for touch gestures.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"tableau-vizable2.png\" src=\"https:\/\/3cloudsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/tableau-vizable2.png\" alt=\"tableau-vizable2.png\" width=\"798\" height=\"504\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Robert Kosara, a research scientist at Tableau Software, says the beauty of Vizable is that it makes \u201ccomplex features very approachable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vizable accesses data from Excel (.xls or .xslx) or CSV\u00a0files.\u00a0However, data must adhere to a specific format to work well with the app. Tableau recommends users check to make sure data is in an optimal format prior to getting started.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What I like so far:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The ease \u2013 if you get a spreadsheet via email, you can simply tap and hold on the screen, sending the spreadsheet to Vizable to start graphing.<\/li>\n<li>The detail \u2013 Vizable recognizes a date and builds a hierarchy so that you can get a year view and keep drilling down to the day and back up.<\/li>\n<li>File sharing \u2013 Once you build a view you can share it via email, instant message or social media.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What I&#8217;m not so crazy about:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Limited graphics \u2013 Users of Tableau Mobile will find Vizable lacks its rich visual variety, displaying only bar, line, and table graphs. But it is easy to switch views between the three.<\/li>\n<li>The Excel\u00a0or CSV\u00a0file must be in a format that&#8217;s consumable by Vizable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tableau is trying to make data more accessible to the average person, and it seems Vizable is doing that. Whether you&#8217;re an executive trying to quickly make sense of a data-rich spreadsheet or a health fanatic trying to up your game, you can easily see the bigger picture with just a few clicks\u00a0in Vizable.\u00a0Try exporting data\u00a0from a Fitbit activity tracker to get the big picture on your\u00a0health.
