Hey everyone, so I need to learn Tableau ASAP, at least enough to keep up with at work when I start. What specific course do you guys recommend I take?

I need a course that will give me enough skills to start using immediately, TIA!

The videos on Tableau’s site are where my team usually starts - better than any 3rd party videos I’ve found

Any course in Udemy. Tbh, Tableau is very easy to learn. Just a matter of dragging and dropping.

Download a trial and play with super store data set. At a high level, just know that all great dashboards are made in layers using different sheets and tied together using common filters (which you can apply to specific sheets or datasets)

There’s plenty of things like calculations, parameters, LOD etc you could get deep in the weeds on but I laid out a few topics below worth getting acquainted with as a beginner. All of which you can probably find step by step instructions on google.

Pro tips:

Use BANs (big ass numbers) as callouts at the top of dashboards

Learn how to make donut charts in place of pie charts (never use a pie chart)

Learn how to make top 5/bottom 5 lollipop chart

Get acquainted with grouping (super easy)

If applicable, learn how to use the map feature using latitude and longitude and relevant country/city data. Tie together with icons as needed.

While doing some of the above you should be able to get acquainted with stacking marks cards/dual axis

Learn how to make a custom color palette using preferences/notepad

Learn how to save custom icons into your repository

Learn how to use the analytics tab to add banding and reference lines ( can be used to show total values/% on top of bar charts etc)

This is a great list, thanks!
