If he/she has Tableau, they'll use it instead of R probably for the charting.

- catacombs 8y agoMost visualizations that can be done in Tableau is possible in R, especially with ggplot2 and the various plug-ins published. I steer my team away from using Tableau because it is bloated software. Anyone who is serious about working in data science or data visualization should steer clear of it.
- 4thaccount 8y agoI dunno about that. I've used ggplot2 a bit and also seen what our best data guys do in Tableau. It really depends on what you want to do. With Tableau, you drag in a pretty big dataset and then you have a bazillion ways to change the chart, sort, group... etc. The charts that ggplot2 give off just seem aesthetically unpleasing. I'm not saying R doesn't have its place and isn't fantastic/free/open source, but that doesn't make Tableau terrible.
