TABLEAU INTERMEDIATE V2018 – 2 DAY EDUCATION
TABLEAU TRAINING ONLY AVAILABLE TO MIP TABLEAU CUSTOMERS
Course description:
Learn the Tableau functionality required for intermediate Tableau users. It starts with a revision of everything from Tableau Prep and Tableau Desktop and moves to a more in-depth look at sets, quick table calculations, multiple visualisations, reference lines, bands and distributions, parameters, motion chart, trends and forecasting, formatting, stories, performance recording and advanced mapping.
The lessons are organised into modules that provide conceptual information, how-to steps, follow me (where the students follow the instructor using Tableau) and tutorials on each subject. They provide the opportunity to visually analyse data, and use these intermediate skills and techniques to enhance your Tableau experience.
Audience:

Approach:
Tell me, I’ll Forget; Show Me, I’ll Remember; Let Me Do It, I’ll Understand

- the students will follow along with the instructor
