About this course

Turning a spreadsheet into a useful dashboard requires choices about both data and presentation. Jed Guinto starts with loading an Excel file and understanding Tableau’s workspace, then introduces the distinction between dimensions, measures and aggregation.

The lessons build a repertoire of bar, line, pie and heat-map views before bringing them together in a first dashboard. Running totals and publication to Tableau Public extend the sequence from an isolated chart to a shareable result.

Skills you’ll gain

  • Loading spreadsheet data into Tableau
  • Distinguishing dimensions and measures
  • Building and formatting common charts
  • Assembling a first dashboard

Basic computer skills, an internet connection and a computer that can run Tableau Public are the listed requirements. Although the platform labels the course All Levels, its sequence is introductory. Follow the aggregation explanation before comparing chart types so that a polished view still represents the data correctly.

Tableau Public offers a free route for this learning workflow. Workbooks published there are accessible online to others, so use sample data suitable for public sharing. This introductory course does not include the instructor’s wider paid training or establish eligibility for a Tableau credential.
