Tableau Basics in Six Minutes
Learn Tableau for business intelligence, data visualization, and dashboard creation
Business intelligence software helps organization make better decisions. By providing good visualization dashboards, they make it easier to:
- see relationships in data
- tell a clear story
- keep the focus on the metrics that matter
Tableau and Microsoft Power BI are the leading products in the data visualization and business intelligence software space. Tableau recently sold to SalesForce for $15.7 Billion. Apparently there’s a lot of value in making it easier for companies to visualize their data. 😁
Tableau is in demand. My previous analysis on the Most in Demand Skills for Data Scientists showed that Tableau was the eighth most commonly listed technology skill in data scientist job listings.
Tableau is the easiest technology on this list to quickly become proficient with — assuming you already know Excel. I suggest you invest a little time with Tableau so you can add it to your tool belt and your resume.
