In this self-paced course, you’ll build advanced Tableau skills by working with deeper data manipulation techniques and creating custom charts. You’ll learn how to add interactive actions that let users control how visualizations behave within sheets and dashboards, giving you more flexibility and precision in how insights are presented.
You’ll also learn how to work with geographic data in Tableau Public, transforming location-based information into clear, effective maps. The course covers formatting data for mapping, customizing map layers, and selecting the right map types so your visualizations clearly communicate geographic patterns and insights.
What You Will Learn
- Format geographic data and create interactive map types such as heat maps, spider maps, and choropleth maps
- Enhance visual design and functionality with background images, polygon data, and Mapbox maps
