Getting started with Tableau

• Connect and join different data sources
• Create union/blend of two tables
• Create relationships between multiple tables
• Create data extracts and filter out data at source
• Create basic charts (pie charts, bar charts, line charts)
• Format text and colors in a chart

Organize and sort data, apply filters and use quick calculations

• Conversion of data types
• Create hierarchies in data
• Create groups and sets
• Apply in-built filters to a chart as slicers/ radio buttons/drop down menu
• Create bins and plot histograms/frequency plots
• Use quick table calculations to see percentage of total/running total/difference from previous
• Use hierarchy to create dynamic aggregations

User defined calculations and functions, parameter control

• Apply the If-Then logic
• use pre-defined functions for strings, numbers and dates
• Calculate percentages
• Apply logical functions
• Split and merge fields
• Create dynamic filters and variable bin size
• Use the created fields in visualizations and as filters

Advanced analytics

• See correlation and fit regression line
• Forecast the future value using in-built mechanisms
• Create clusters and visualize them
• Create trend line/average line to make charts more interpretable

Maps and Creating Analytical Dashboards

• Fit multiple visualizations into a dashboard and format them for interpretable
• Use single filter for multiple visualizations, highlight an anomaly and redirect to external websites on click
• Add images and annotations to the dashboards
• Place marks on a map
• Customize maps

External map service, Storypoints and publishing to server

• Add Mapbox map service to create more detailed maps
• Explain the origin of a problem to solution using storypoint navigation
• Publish dashboard to Tableau Public / Custom server and Web Authoring

Case Study

In the short case study, participants will have a chance to design a user-friendly dynamic dashboard and publish it to your Tableau Public profile. The case study helps participants to apply the skills and functions they learned from the training so that they know exactly how to build interactive and informative dashboards in their work. A typical case study could be HR Analytics, for which the dataset will be provided

Participants are required to bring a laptop for the course.

• Professionals who work with data and are looking to improve their data visualisation skills
• Individuals seeking to gain knowledge and explore opportunities in the areas of business analytics
• Individuals with a keen interest to understand Tableau and its capabilities
• This course is designed for professionals and individuals from all levels, industries, and job functions with an interest to make a bigger impact with their analysis.

This is a case study-based course. A generic retail dataset will be used for the practical hands-on to reinforce your understanding of the concepts and tool. The course will train participants how to create dynamic dashboards and stories in Tableau using external data, how to create relationships between multiple tables, how to use advanced Tableau built-in filters, functions and reporting features to enhance user interactivity with the dashboard, how to build and manage an efficient data model that feeds the dashboard with updatable business data, and also how to use the publish the dashboards and share it via a URL.

At the end of the course, a case study related to the topics learned will be given. Participants will have a chance to discuss the case study scenario and come out with the solution. This case study helps participants to have a better understanding of the topics learned and know how to apply the skills in their work. Model answers of the case study and samples of Tableau Dashboards will be given to participants for reference and revision after the course.
