Overview

CompTIA Authorized Partner Badge

Geared for experienced Tableau, Tableau Desktop II / Intermediate Tableau Desktop is a two-day, lab intensive hands-on course that provides participants with the intermediate and beyond level skills required to develop complex visualizations, and to combine them in more advanced-level interactive dashboards. Although the base list of topics is similar to the Tableau Desktop course, the Intermediate course will dive deeper into the advanced skills within each topic and visualization to provide you with the skills required for advanced level work. This course is not for beginners or those new to Tableau. 

 

NOTE: The Tableau Training Series is independent-format training that can be tuned and adjusted to best meet your needs. Our materials are flexible, comprehensive, and are always instructed by a senior instructor with a deep understanding of Tableau and its most current features, benefits and functionality in a wide array of uses. This is not Official Tableau Training.

  • Create advanced calculations including string manipulation, basic arithmetic calculations, custom aggregations and ratios, date math, logic statements and quick table calculations
