Learn how to use Tableau and created impressive dashboards. 

Tableau is easy to use, but it can seem quite complex and confusing at first. The best way for you to learn Tableau is to download the files from the description of this video and follow along with me.  

By the end of the video, you will have a much better understanding of Tableau and be confident that you can build dashboards on your own. 

I'll take you step-by-step and show you how to create, publish and share your first interactive Tableau dashboard.

I'll cover:

1. Tableau's welcome screen
2. Connecting to data
3. Making visuals
4. Creating a dashboard
5. Adding interactivity
6. Publishing to Tableau Server
7. Sharing with others

By the end of the video, you'll have created your first interactive Tableau dashboard which you can publish to the web or to your company's Tableau Server. I'll also show you how you can share your Tableau dashboard with others.

If you're not participating in the Back to Viz Basics community project yet, you should be. It's all about creating effective, simple charts, which is exactly what you need to be able to do before you build anything fancy. This will definitely help you master data visualization best practices.

For week 3, the objective was to build a text table of Olympic medal counts. Sounds simple, but unfortunately, building good looking tables isn't one of Tableau's strengths. 

I also started the #WatchMeViz livestreams again. You can find all of them on this playlist. Thank you to those that attended live and asked good questions and left thoughtful comments. Below is the livestream as well as my final viz.

Until next week...
