Visual Analytics with Tableau

UC Davis extends basic chart building into analytical operations. Dates and table calculations receive separate modules before the advanced-analytics section. The approximately nine-hour course offers a focused continuation for learners who want their views to answer more complex questions.

What you will learn

• Choose and construct charts for analytical questions.
• Handle dates in a Tableau view.
• Use table calculations to compare values across a visualization.

Who this suits

Learners who are comfortable with datasets and ready to develop their Tableau analysis skills.

Before you enroll

Although labeled beginner, the course requires data familiarity. Table calculations depend on the layout and partition of a view, so verify results after changing dimensions.

Put it into practice

Create a time-based view and add a running total. Compare it with a manually checked sample before changing the view’s grouping.
