Course Description
Tableau has emerged as a leader in data visualization. Tableau users have the ability to use data analytics to turn massive amounts of data into visualizations that can be seen and understood. Tableau’s Data Engine has the ability to translate actions into ad hoc queries and graphically express the responses very quickly. In this course students learn to connect to data, navigate the Tableau interface, build and format visualizations, and build interactive dashboards. Other topics include Tableau Architecture, Filters, Graphs, Maps, Table Calculations, and Aggregating data.
