This 3 day Tableau Desktop Advanced Training course is designed for the professional who has been working with Tableau for some time and is looking to dive deeper. You will review all calculation types and apply Table Calculations and Level of Detail Expressions in multiple use cases. You will also learn advanced techniques for analysing time series data, cohorts and survey data. You will learn advanced mapping and dashboard techniques to help improve the insights gained for your target audience. You will be introduced to the latest features together with practical use cases for getting the most benefit from them.
Attendees should have a deep understanding of the fundamental concepts of building Tableau worksheets and dashboards and be comfortable with the techniques learnt in the Foundation and Analyst courses.
At the end of this course you will be able to apply and combine some of the more complex capabilities and techniques that Tableau has to offer.
In addition to our regular 2 day syllabus we have added an additional day so that we can add learning for many new features introduced into Tableau over the last couple of years.
In addition to the 3 day live and interactive course, delegates also receive 6 weeks live access to our Coaching and Q&A calls that take place 3 times each week. Delegates have found these to be highly beneficial to enhance their learning experience as well as assisting with applying the learning from the course to practical working deliverables on their own data.
