Tableau Fundamentals

Corporate Finance Institute links data preparation with the visual layer. Transformations and calculations come before chart and dashboard work, with relationships covered separately. The roughly six-hour outline provides a compact foundation for a learner moving from raw records to a report.

What you will learn

• Prepare a dataset for a Tableau analysis.
• Create calculations and choose visual encodings.
• Use relationships and dashboard design in a reporting workflow.

Who this suits

Beginning Tableau learners who want data preparation and dashboard work in the same course.
