Course description
Tableau Desktop is a data visualisation tool that allows us to see and understand data more deeply. In this course, you’ll explore essential types of analysis and data visualisation used to convey insights from data.
You’ll learn how to prepare, control, and clean up data before you start working with it to ensure you get the most out of your analyses. You’ll explore how to connect to a desktop source and use single and multiple tables to extract data into Tableau’s data engine, as well as how to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server database. You’ll also learn how to create, customize, and format your dashboard in Tableau and add interactivity to your data visualisations.
The course is divided into ten modules and includes knowledge tests at the end of each section.
