In this big data era, being able to quickly and intuitively make sense of the massive amounts of data stored in data warehouses is a skill currently in high demand across industries. Having a high proficiency in Tableau enables any future analyst to build a ‘command & control’ functionality of an organization’s data where dashboard users can spend less time with data administering and more time getting the answers they need to drive organizational decisions and strategy.

Having completed our AESOP Tableau Basics workshop or having prior Tableau knowledge, students will continue their upskilling journey in this course experiencing the following: 

• Building multi-level charts to ‘slice’ data by different dimensions to interpret key insights on business performance and evaluate strategic decisions

• Data blending (JOINs) with multiple datasets

• Features to improve UX (User Experience): filters, sorting, relevant selection options, tooltips for details

• Building heatmap visualizations to focus user attention on business drivers

• Creating hierarchy fields with expanding/collapsing ability to control layers for user deep dive reviews

• Intuitive dashboard design techniques to improve user tool adoption and utilization. Finalized dashboard can be shared with recruiters/hirings managers to showcase abilities as ‘sample training work’!

Through a series of real-world client scenarios, this program will cover the highly demanded technical skillset of producing intuitive analytics at scale in a data-driven world. A strong Tableau employee can be the first to analyze critical insights for leaders and use their created tools to empower a whole department with their data needs!
