Description

**This course includes downloadable course instructor files and exercise files to work with and follow along.**


In this advanced Tableau course, you will gain expert-level knowledge to advance your data analysis career.


This course will cover a handful of advanced Tableau topics, starting with a section on parameters and use cases. We will discuss Level of Detail (LOD) expressions, which allow you to compute for values from the data source, giving you more control on the level of granularity you want. We will then go over spatial functions, advanced filters, and table calculations.


Move at your own pace as you learn to build sophisticated visualizations and dashboards using Sankey diagrams, geospatial charts, sunburst charts, and circular charts, among others, and even animate your visualizations.


The last chapter of this course consists of exercises that put everything you just learned into practice, from building dashboards and utilizing LOD expressions, building circular calendar charts, bump charts, and area charts, to finally building your own Sankey diagram.


This advanced course is designed for those who already have a good foundation in Tableau, so we recommend taking our Tableau beginner-level course before taking this class.
