Description

Tableau Prep Builder for beginners - let's get started

You are interested in data analytics and (self service BI) business intelligence?  You are already using Tableau or plan to use it in the near future?

Great!

You might have already seen Tableau as a visual analytics tool in action. You might have created Tableau dashboards yourself.

But (you probably know) the final result of visualizing your data is only the top of the iceberg.

In reality data analysts spend a huge amount of their time in cleaning / preparing data. This process is quite tedious. However it's most important.

You probably know the statement: "Trash in trash out"

So it's very important to get the data cleaned and in the right format.

Meet Tableau Prep Builder!

A great tool  which can help us doing data preparation / data cleaning fast and efficiently.

In this Tableau Prep Builder course we will learn all you need to know to use the power of Tableau Prep Builder for your own data cleaning tasks. The course is developed for beginners. There is no prior knowledge required even though working with Tableau before is an advantage (because of the look and feel you will see!)

Are you ready for Tableau Prep Builder? Then let's get into it!

Who this course is for:

  • All Tableau users who need to do data cleaning
  • (Aspiring) Data analysts or data scientists
  • Report creators
