This fragmentation leads to an incomplete view of data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Even after accessing data, it isn\u2019t always ready for analysis. Data needs to be refined, which often requires adding context, such as business definitions, and defining relationships to other data.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Too often, people don\u2019t trust the data. Different teams may define or calculate metrics like ROI or active users differently, or there may be inconsistencies across different dashboards \u2014 leading to inconsistent results and distrust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Significant time is wasted on redundant analyses, resulting in inefficiencies and inconsistent business definitions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gen AI experiences can be inaccurate due to poor data quality and a lack of necessary business context.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tableau Semantics helps synchronise your organisation\u2019s business intelligence tools with a standardised data model, enhancing data integrity and governance across analytics experiences and applications \u2014 ultimately making data more accessible, consistent, and actionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Designed for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/agentforce\/what-is-agentic-ai\">agentic AI<\/a>, Tableau Semantics unlocks the power of Tableau Next, Data Cloud, and Agentforce by enriching the harmonised and unified data with business knowledge, creating cleaner foundations for agentic experiences.

For example, the definition of a metric like \u201crevenue\u201d is sourced from certain data sources, the relationships between them, specific join types, and a formula that defines how it\u2019s calculated. You can also give meaning to your data by applying semantic metadata. For example, taking a certain number field and classifying it as a currency. The Semantic Query Generator can then convert it in runtime.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Semantic Query Generator<\/strong>: As the heart of Tableau Semantics, this service takes business questions from apps, dashboards, widgets, or APIs, and uses semantic definitions to translate them into SQL. This ensures that queries align with the specific meaning behind business terms like \u201crevenue,\u201d \u201clast quarter,\u201d or \u201cby region.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e7a48ca50de&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e7a48ca50de\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1999\" height=\"969\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/dc-composable-model-builder.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"Tableau Semantics model builder interface within Salesforce Data Cloud, showing the ability to add data sources to a federated semantic model for ad hoc analysis.\" class=\"wp-image-10202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/03\/dc-composable-model-builder.png 1999w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/03\/dc-composable-model-builder.png?w=300&amp;h=145 300w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/03\/dc-composable-model-builder.png?w=768&amp;h=372 768w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/03\/dc-composable-model-builder.png?w=1024&amp;h=496 1024w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/03\/dc-composable-model-builder.png?w=1536&amp;h=745 1536w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/03\/dc-composable-model-builder.png?w=150&amp;h=73 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Connect new data sources with standardised definitions for extensible, ad hoc analysis.

This allows data administrators to maintain a single source of truth while enabling data analysts to self-serve by extending these federated semantic models in their own versions. Unlike traditional data models that focus on structuring and storing raw data, semantic models add business context, defining metrics and relationships in an intuitive way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AI data modeling capabilities<\/strong>: AI capabilities are built into Tableau Semantics that provide suggestions for data object relationships, and create calculated fields and metrics with natural language.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Semantic Learning (coming soon)<\/strong>: Bridge knowledge gaps in business logic and terminology, ensuring agents deliver more accurate and relevant responses over time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ecosystem integrations (coming soon)<\/strong>: Leverage Tableau Semantics as a Tableau data source and use it to explore and visualise Salesforce data effortlessly.
