We’ll kick things off by digging into relationships and Tableau’s data model, exploring topics like logical vs. physical layers, contextual joins, smart aggregation, and performance optimization. From there we’ll introduce a range of powerful visualization and design tools, including custom templates, dynamic formats, animations, parameter & set actions, and geospatial mapping. Last but not least, we’ll cover advanced calculations like RegEx and custom LOD expressions, along with powerful predictive analytics tools like regression, forecasting, clustering, and much, much more. Throughout the course, you’ll come across unique opportunities to put your new skills to the test, like analyzing employee earnings for the Boston Police Department, building forecast models for the World Health Organization, and designing geospatial dashboards to help FEMA identify environmental risks.
