Tableau | A Quick Start Guide – Free Udemy Courses

So imagine you have a big list of data (say for example in Excel, SQL, MS Access, MySQL, Oracle, etc.) suffice it to say that data is practically unreadable.  Let’s be honest, there is no real way for the data to make sense.  Or put another way how do you make heads or tales out of something so illegible? This is where Tableau can save the day.  🙂

With Tableau you can create cool, slick, visualizations (AKA charts) that allow you to interpret your data in “picture” form to learn the story it’s telling you.  Tableau is highly intuitive, incredibly powerful, and flat-out fun to use.

The course begins with an overview of Tableau, which we dub “kicking the tires” From, there you will get an intro to calculations on Tableau, then the fun begins— with a whole module dedicated to common Tableau visualizations, culminating with showing you how to create dashboards and storylines.

Each module/ video tutorial is topical and you can pick and choose the order in which you learn since there is no true progression path to the course.  That said, we’ve tried to arrange the content so it has the best and easy logical flow.

Topics you will learn: Connecting to data sources, basic chart formatting, sorting, filtering, basic calculations, common Tableau visualizations, dashboards, and storylines.

So why is this course free?  Simple. By chance this course can help someone, somehow, someway stay afloat economically, move to a better vocation, or allow them a better career….it’s well worth it in my view.  ~ Dave (the course author)
