Visualize Data in Tableau | FREE Data Skills
About This Class
Time to get technical with your insights from Excel analytics and turn them into useful, easily communicated visualizations in Tableau.
In this free, two-hour session, learn the importance of data visualization before diving into hands-on practice with dimensions, measures, and data types in Tableau. From there you’ll move on to chart types, interactive filters, and dashboards. By the end of this session you’ll have a clear, concise visualization to communicate the analysis you’ve completed.
Don’t miss our final data skills session, where you’ll learn about SQL architecture, data types and client tools, and then get practice with Hands-on SQL Basics and writing queries using SQL syntax. We’ll see you there.
Takeaways
- Understand the importance and psychology behind data visualization.
- Learn Tableau’s primary chart types and how to create them.
- Be able to identify dimensions, measures, and major data types in Tableau.
- Get hands-on practice creating interactive filters and dashboards to better explore your data.
Preparation

- A recording of this session will be sent via email at the end of the full Skill Seeker series.
- This session will be held in a Zoom webinar, so your mic and camera will be off. We’ll interact through the chat, Q&A, and reactions.
