The creation of data-backed visualizations is a key way data scientists, or any professional, can explore, analyze, and report insights and trends from data. Tableau software is designed for this purpose. Tableau was built to connect to a wide range of data sources, and allows users to quickly create visualizations of connected data to gain insights, show trends, and create reports. Tableau’s data connection capabilities and visualization features go far beyond those that can be found in spreadsheets, allowing users to create compelling and interactive worksheets, dashboards, and stories that bring data to life and turn data into thoughtful action. Move from simple to complex visualizations and learn how to combine them in interactive dashboards. Tableau has the unique ability to do ad hoc analysis of millions of rows of data in just a matter of seconds with Tableau’s Data Engine, enabling you to dive deep into answering complex questions about your data. This two day, instructor-led course is designed for the beginner to intermediate-level Tableau user. This course will equip you with the foundational concepts that will help you use Tableau to explore, analyze, visualize and share the stories contained in your data. This course is designed for professionals in a variety of job roles who are currently using desktop or web-based data-management tools to perform numerical or general data analysis. This includes capturing and reporting on data to peers, executives, and clients. These professionals must also provide data visualizations in reports, or explain data analysis through visualizations. This course is also designed for students who plan to obtain Tableau Desktop Qualified Associate certification, which requires candidates to pass the Desktop Qualified Associate exam.
