Course Overview

As technology progresses and becomes more interwoven with our businesses and lives, an increasing amount of data is collected about business and personal activities. This era of "big data" has exploded due to the rise of cloud computing, which provides an abundance of computational power and storage, allowing organizations to capture and store data. Leveraging that data effectively can provide timely insights and competitive advantage.

The creation of data-backed visualizations is a key way for data scientists or any professional to explore, analyze, and report insights and trends from data. Tableau® software is designed for this purpose. Tableau connects to a wide range of data sources and allows users to quickly create visualizations to gain insights, show trends, and create reports. Tableau's data connection capabilities and visualization features go far beyond those found in spreadsheets, enabling users to create compelling and interactive worksheets, dashboards, and stories that bring data to life and turn data into thoughtful action.
