    What is Tableau?

    Tableau is an interactive data visualization software that aims to “help people see and
    understand data.”

    There specific focus?


    Business intelligence - uncovering insights for making strategic decisions

    What to know before you start Tableau

    1) The people who are most successful with Tableau don’t get
    discouraged and try multiple times to accomplish tasks
    2) Ability to use software ≠ the ability to properly visualize data (this is
    a separate skill that needs attention)
    3) Don’t rely on Tableau’s default suggestions!
    4) Practice makes perfect!!
    Understanding types of Variables

    Imported data can definitely end up in the


    Dimensions wrong category. Especially if you are using
    numbers to represent qualitative data (i.e.
    Discrete
    gender, 1=male, 2=female)
    Separation line

    Measures
    Continuous
    Count vs Distinct Count

    Count = # of variables in a column (does not account for duplicates)


    Distinct Count = # of unique variables in a column

    Example:
    Customer ID Order ID Total Cost

    del4567 KJSDFG7 $456.23


    COUNT: 4
    mar2387 MJA234H $243.53
    DISTINCT COUNT: 3
    kat9823 SIEUT7SD $987.82

    del4567 WKIU5SK $189.99


    Common Chart Types and Variables Used

    Line charts show changes in value across


    continuous measurements

    Typically bar charts have a dimension variable


    on the x-axis and a measure value on the y-axis.

    Maps are used to display information in


    different geographic areas.
