Tableau

A data-visualization platform for building interactive dashboards and reports.

What it is

Tableau transforms datasets into interactive visual analysis and dashboards.

How I learned it

I learned Tableau through dashboard and data-visualization practice.

How I use it

I use it to explore trends and communicate data through visual summaries.

Concepts I work with

  • Dashboards
  • Calculated fields
  • Filters
  • Data storytelling

What I learned

A visualization should answer a specific question rather than display every available metric.

Applied experience

Projects using Tableau

I haven't published a project using Tableau yet — it's something I use in work that isn't shareable, or that I'm still building.
