Analyzing Data in Tableau

Preparing for Analysis
-Learn best practices for organizing fields into dimensions and measures and how to configure date and time fields for trend analysis. All the while, you’ll use Calculated Fields, quick table calculations, and highlight actions to elevate your visualizations and reveal the hidden insights.

Exploring Visualizations
-In this chapter, you’ll get to know more about Divvy users. Learning about them provides valuable information toward successful and continued engagement. To do this, you’ll build bar charts, KPI charts, and histograms with variable bin width. You’ll create additional insights by adding filters to your visualizations.

Mapping Analysis
-Dive deeper into maps and elevate geographic data with layers and density. You'll customize Tooltips and learn how to embed them with more information. You'll also learn more about Quick Table Calculations and apply them to your visualizations.

Groups, Sets, and Parameters
-Expand your Tableau toolbox with groups, sets, and parameters. You'll create groups using Lasso selection and Calculated Fields. You'll also use Parameters to enable users to dynamically input changes to your visualizations. Finally, you'll create Sets and compare your findings to an external weather data source.
