Introduction to Tableau
Course Level: Foundation (6 hours)
Faster and more capable of handling larger datasets than Excel, Tableau is quickly becoming a valuable tool for individuals and organisations who want to leverage their data. It’s more user-friendly and simpler to learn than programming languages, but still allows a high-level of customisation. This course is designed for people with no prior experience of Tableau, who want to get to grips with the basics of summarising and interactively visualising their data.
