Google Chrome Extension for Tableau Server - The Information Lab So there’s no hiding the fact that I love Tableau Server. The simplicity alone of installing it, maintaining it and using it as both a portal for visualisations and a method to easily disseminate data throughout the organisation makes Tableau Server the perfect best friend of Tableau Desktop and of any budding analyst. With the announcement of Tableau version 8 came the word ‘ubiquitous’. Tableau would be available on any and every platform, whether you’re working on an Ultrabook or a Chromebook, you would be able to analyse data with just a few clicks of the mouse.

What exactly is this Google Chrome Extension for Tableau Server? It’s a light-weight tool which puts your Tableau visualisations right at your fingertips. Show me!
