Live Online Tableau Fundamentals Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 800
Teams that still assemble reports by hand in spreadsheets spend days on work that a visual analytics tool can refresh in seconds. Starting from the basics of business intelligence and visual perception, you learn how Tableau Desktop is organized, from the data pane and shelves to the marks card and Show Me. Data preparation sessions cover connecting to Excel, text files and databases, data types, joins, relationships, unions, extracts and simple cleaning steps. You then build core chart types such as bar, line, area, scatter, maps, heat maps and text tables, and format them for clarity.
Analysis and reporting sessions introduce sorting, grouping, sets, hierarchies, filters, parameters, basic calculated fields, quick table calculations and reference lines. Dashboard work combines several views with actions, legends and layout containers into a coherent page, then shows how to present it as a story. The final day covers publishing to Tableau Public, Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server and looks ahead to emerging analytics trends. Analysts, reporting officers, M&E staff and managers who are new to Tableau but comfortable with spreadsheets will settle in quickly. You leave able to turn a raw dataset into an interactive dashboard that others can explore on their own.
