Raw data rarely arrives in the perfect format for analysis and visualization. Before analysts can visualize meaningful insights from their data in Tableau, they must first transform their data into a structured, reliable foundation.
In this course, you will prepare and load data into Tableau to construct your first data visualizations. You'll begin by exploring Tableau's interface and reviewing the requirements for analysis-ready data. To organize your data and workspace, you'll double-check data elements for proper formatting, connect multiple datasets, and identify and resolve common data preparation issues.
You will further develop these foundational skills by constructing basic plot and chart visualizations then build on these visuals by computing additional custom values from your data, called calculated fields, to represent key business metrics. By practicing these techniques on a fictional financial dataset, you'll gain the skills to construct strong visualizations that communicate clear business insights to your audiences.
