Tableau Public turns a raw spreadsheet into an interactive, shareable dashboard with a drag-and-drop builder, completely free. Connect to a spreadsheet or common data format, build the visualization without writing code, and publish it to the web where it can handle unlimited viewers on Tableau's own infrastructure. It's the same visualization engine behind enterprise Tableau deployments, just scoped to public, non-commercial data instead of private dashboards. For a solopreneur who needs to show a client or audience a polished data story without a BI budget, it closes the gap between a plain spreadsheet and a paid analytics platform.
