In Tabulate you can view "live data" in your tabulate worksheet. This means that the data in your discoveries can be dynamically viewed on-the-fly, thus removing the need to copy the data into a spreadsheet, eliminating the inherent problems of:
- Data duplication (two sources of the 'truth')
- Bad Data Governance
- Bad Data Security
- Inefficiencies
Live data can be used via two different techniques inside a Tabulate spreadsheet:
- Formula - Each cell in the spreadsheet connects live to the data source independently. There is no relationship between the source Discover report (and query) and the resulting cells.
- Direct - The Discover report is reflected in the Tabulate spreadsheet as a complete query result. It keeps the connection to the original Discover content, so that changes to the underlying Discover content will be reflected in the spreadsheet on refresh or reload.
