Tableau is one of the easiest introductions to the world of data science. Within hours, you can be creating attractive and informative dashboards to elevate your visualisations far beyond Microsoft Excel's charting tools. You can build professional-looking visuals to present to stakeholders and also for independent research projects you might be conducting. It's also hugely beneficial for the process of exploratory data analysis, where you might have a large dataset, but are unsure how to begin analysing it. By the end of this class, you will be able to create and publish high quality visualisations on any dataset or data stream. We'll look through how to perform initial data analysis, build sophisticated dashboards, create calculated fields using Tableau's simple native language and get your project ready to release to your intended audience.
