In today’s data driven business world, the ability to characterise and communicate practical implications of quantitative analyse to any stakeholders become a crucial skill to master at the workplace.
In this course, you will learn how to become a master at communicating business relevant implications of data analyses using Tableau. The course investigates visual analytics and related concepts with tableau through the completion of real-world case studies.
What is BI?
Business intelligence (BI) combines business analytics, data mining, data visualization, data tools and infrastructure, and best practices to help organizations to make more data-driven decisions.
What is Tableau?
Tableau is an interactive visualization software, designed for the individual but scaled for the enterprise.
From connection through collaboration, Tableau provides secure and flexible end-to-end analytics platform.
Tableau Desktop and Tableau Prep is supported in both Windows and MacOS environments.
Before you can build a view and analyze your data, you must first connect Tableau to your data. Tableau supports connecting to a wide variety of data, stored in a variety of places.
All fields in a data source have a data type. The data type reflects the kind of information stored in that field.
In this part, we will help to differentiate two key sets of terms: dimensions vs measures, discrete vs continuous.

Calculated fields allow the user to create new data from data that already exists in the data source.
Creating a calculated field is essentially creating a new field (or column) in the data source, which cane used throughout the workbook (all worksheets).
After you've created one or more sheets, you can combine them in a dashboard, add interactivity, and much more.
After you create a dashboard, you might need to resize and reorganize it to work better for your users.
