After this course, you can combine data from several tables cleanly, keep workbooks fast with extracts and solve questions that simple charts can no longer answer. Parameters and table calculations give your audience room for their own analysis without getting lost in the dashboard. This course suits you if you already use Tableau day to day and keep reaching your limits with data models or calculations.
What you’ll take away.
- Combine tables sensibly with joins, unions and relationships
- Use extracts to make workbooks faster
- Apply advanced calculations and table calculations with purpose
- Use statistical techniques in Tableau for analysis
- Design dashboards with parameters and guided analysis

Frequently asked questions
Am I ready for this course?
