Take a look at Pentaho. It's built from open source parts so you should be able to reuse parts of that. There's also R, though that is really more of a statistical programming framework than an ready-to-use exploratory tool.

If you're looking for something that's as easy to use as Tableau though, I'm afraid you won't find any open source solutions.
