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.
