Book Description

Tableau makes it easy, intuitive, and fun to analyze data, receive instant visual feedback with every action, and ask questions to uncover insights in a natural flow of thought and interaction. This book strengthens your command of Tableau fundamentals and builds on advanced topics.

Learning Tableau starts by taking you through the foundational principles of Tableau. It then demonstrates various types of connections and how to work with metadata. It teaches you to use a wide variety of visualizations to analyze and communicate the data, and introduces you to calculations and parameters. The book then takes an in-depth look at level of detail (LOD) expressions and uses them to solve complex data challenges. It also shows how to use table calculations, extend and alter default visualizations, build interactive dashboards, and master the art of telling stories with data.

This Tableau book will introduce you to visual statistical analytics capabilities, create different types of visualizations and dynamic dashboards for rich user experiences. It then moves on to maps and geospatial visualization, and the new Data Model capabilities introduced in Tableau 2020.2. You will further use Tableau Prep's ability to clean and structure data and share the stories contained in your data.
