Introduction to Tableau

This introductory course uses Tableau Public as the learning environment. The modules develop an initial workflow, then preparation and multiple data sources. It is a starting route for learners who want hands-on familiarity with the public product before more advanced calculations or storytelling.

What you will learn

• Create an initial visualization in Tableau Public.
• Prepare information for a workbook.
• Work with more than one data source.

Who this suits

Beginners with no previous Tableau experience. The provider explicitly welcomes new learners.

Before you enroll

Tableau Public workbooks are intended for public sharing. Use open or synthetic information and inspect publishing settings before uploading anything sensitive.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Tool subscriptions, model API usage and cloud services may cost extra.

Put it into practice

Build a public-data workbook from two sources. Add a short explanation of the source dates and confirm that the shared view exposes only information you intended to publish.
