The Major Challenge Our Client Faced

Selecting the right chart to present your data for quick insight is a very important part of the visualization journey. With BI tools like Tableau, you get options to select 30-40 basic charts. If the visualization requirement needs advanced charts like Chord Chart, Sunburst Chart, Sankey Chart, or Network Diagram, Tableau does not give direct options to add these charts.

Tableau community has some workarounds to create some of these charts, but the workarounds are not efficient and need more effort.

The client wanted a Tableau extension to give quick access to advanced charts. This extension should have a configuration option to configure every chart as per the requirement.
