Course Description
Professionals who use data visualization tools like Tableau are up to 5x more likely to uncover actionable insights than those relying only on spreadsheets. With the abundance of computational power and storage available, data analysis is no longer limited to specialists; employees across roles and industries can harness data to uncover timely insights, streamline decisions, and drive measurable business success.
The creation of data-backed visualizations is a key way data scientists, or any professional, can explore, analyze, and report insights and trends from data. Tableau® software is designed for this purpose. Tableau was built to connect to a wide range of data sources and allows users to quickly create visualizations of connected data to gain insights, show trends, and create reports. Tableau’s data connection capabilities and visualization features go far beyond those that can be found in spreadsheets, allowing users to create compelling and interactive worksheets, dashboards, and stories that bring data to life and turn data into thoughtful action.
