This class runs as a private cohort on dates that suit your team, at your site or delivered live online. Tell us roughly when and how many people, and we'll come back with dates and a total.

We can also add you to the notify list for the next public date, though private delivery is usually faster and works out better per seat once you're past four or five people.

About this class

As data acquisition, access, analysis, and reporting are interwoven with our businesses and lives, more and more data is collected about business and personal activities. This abundance of data and the computing power to analyze it has increased the use of data analysis and data visualization across a broad range of job roles. Decision makers of all types, including managers and executives, must interact with, interpret, and develop reports based on data and analysis provided to them. Tableau® software is designed for data analysis and the creation of visualizations. Data analysts prepare data, perform initial analysis, and create visualizations that are then passed on to business data-driven decision makers. These decision makers can use Tableau’s tools to explore the data, perform further analysis to find new insights, make decisions, and create customized reports to share their findings.

What you'll be able to do

Analyze data to get answers and insights.
