Tableau History:

Tableau Software began as an R&D project inside Stanford University’s Department of Computer Science in 1997. Professor Pat Hanrahan was contacted by the US Department of Defense with a project to make data more comprehensible to military analysts. His Ph.D. student Chris Stolte specialized in databases. Together, they combined a structured query language for databases with a descriptive language for rendering graphics and invented a database visualization language called VizQL (Visual Query Language). Tableau was spun out of Stanford in 2003 with VizQL as the foundation of a software application called Tableau Desktop. The product interacts with relational databases, cubes and spreadsheets and then auto-generates visualizations including reports, tables, charts and graphs.
