Tableau Workshop
This one-day interactive course, in association with The Alan Turing Institute, provides a practical introduction to data visualization with Tableau Desktop, an industry-leading visualization tool. You will learn how to create effective visualizations that range from bar and line charts to heat maps and geographic maps using Tableau, as well as how to avoid common pitfalls. You'll then have the opportunity to apply your knowledge by tackling a series of data analysis ‘challenges’. This is a workshop and thus…
