Got a stakeholder interested in turning their data into an insightful dashboard, but need to know how to make them? If so, this guided project is perfect for you! Tableau Public for Beginners: Data Visualization Basics was created for Tableau beginners who want to learn how to build business dashboards to answer stakeholder questions and gather insights from the data using Tableau's free dashboard-building application, Tableau Public. More specifically, in this one-hour project-based course, we will start by exploring the Tableau Public website and desktop application to connect to a dataset and get started. Then, we will Identify the differences between measures vs. dimensions and continuous vs. discrete to build some basic but useful charts. Once we've built our charts, we will use them to develop a dashboard and clean up the formatting to publish our finished product onto the Tableau Public site. This project is unique because it's a step-by-step lesson from start to finish on how to start building business dashboards using the free Tableau Public desktop application. It will jumpstart your visualization-building journey, providing the fundamentals allowing you to comfortably explore Tableau's more complex features, such as dynamic zone visibility, LODs, and more in your next project. To be successful in this project, you will need an understanding of how to read tabular data and some aggregate function knowledge using Max, Min, Sum, Average, etc.
