About Tableau I want to know well about this text. "We help people see and understand data. Seven words that drive everything we do. And they’ve never been more important." (1) I can understand "Seven words" means the "We help people see and understand data.". But I can't under stand "that drive everyting we do.". Does this mean that the words move the persons? (2) Is "they've never been" frequently used words? (Idiomatically?)

Thank you, Christine. I understand that the mantra motivates the people. "They've never been more important." <-- in this sentence, "they have never been" means that something more important than the mantra have never been before? "They've never been to this city." <-- in this sentence, some people you know have never reached the city?

"words that drive everything we do" means that this mantra motivates the people. It doesn't physically move them. But, emotionally it inspires them to do things. "they've never been" について、まあまあでしょう... in this particular way, it's not very common. But you can say "they've never been" about people - たとえば "They've never been to this city," とか
