Tableau Desktop is one of the most popular data visualization and self-service BI platforms in the world, and a powerful tool for data analysts, data scientists, and business intelligence professionals alike.

This course is a practical, hands-on and project-based introduction to Tableau Desktop, designed to teach you how to connect, analyze and visualize raw data with real-world projects and case studies.

Throughout the course, you’ll be playing the role of a newly hired Business Intelligence Analyst for Maven Supplies, a cutting-edge office supply store looking to bring the sizzle back to copy paper and sticky notes.

But don’t worry, we’ll be guiding you each step of the way, with crystal clear explanations and helpful pro tips to help you build your Tableau Desktop data analysis and dashboard design skills.

We’ll start with a quick intro to the Tableau platform and community, then connect and transform our first dataset. From there we’ll explore sorting, filtering and grouping tools, build and format visuals, define custom calculations and parameters, and finally tie it all together with dynamic, interactive dashboards and stories:

• Introducing Tableau Desktop

  • Installing Tableau, community tools, interface & workflow, helpful resources, etc.

• Connecting to Data
